This may be an but work/life balance is a lie!

And even if it was true, why is work the thing we have to find balance with. Perhaps we should rethink our approach and prioritize the self.

We are so glad that Rachel Joy Barrett-Dolcine is sharing one of the tools she uses to maintain synergy between herself, her mental health and career in our upcoming workshop- The Productivity Playbook. If you are looking for a new tool to find "balance", register today at grocharity.thinkific.com.

We are three weeks into 2024. How's those resolutions going? 🧐

One of the reasons that resolutions and goals are not accomplished is the journey isn't documented. There's nothing for us to look back on to see progress. And then we assume things aren't happening (which is not true!!).

And let's not get into the mental anguish of getting to the end of the year or a performance evaluation and thinking "damn, so what did I do?!"

So let's fix this. Now. Join us next week for:

The Productivity Playbook: Work Journaling Techniques for Career and Mental Health Success.

A 90 minute virtual workshop with our very own Rachel Dolcine covering
❗the fundamentals and benefits of work journaling
❗how to implement work journaling into your daily routine
❗developing your own work journaling system

Register today at grocharity.thinkific.com. If you are a Green Elephant member (and you should be) get the discount benefits as well!

Let's not get to June and bemoaning half the year gone and no goals accomplished... We're better than that! 🤣🤣

Today is the International Day for the Remembrance of the Slave Trade and its Abolition.

We honor the lives of our ancestors who perished during the Transatlantic slave trade & the 200+ years of slavery in this country.

We honor the lives of our black & brown brothers & sisters who have died due to modern slavery- human trafficking for labor, body parts & s*x.

We hold space for them.
We take a moment of silence for them.
We light a candle for them.
We will not forget them.

It's NATIONAL RELAXATION DAY!

Today is one of our team's favorite days of the year! Ya know...since we are all about self-care, wellness and all😄.

We encourage you to take some time today to RELAX and do something that brings you JOY!

Here's four activities members of our team do you relax:

🧘🏿‍♀️ YOGA gives you an opportunity to stretch your body while practicing mindfulness. With so many different variations of this ancient practice, you are sure to find a style that suits your relaxation vibe.

📖 JOURNALING allows your mind & soul to release thoughts, ideas, and worries onto paper. Plus, the movement of the pen/pencil across the paper is often found to be very relaxing, especially for kinesthetic learners.

❤️ PLAYGROUND SWING...yup! One of our team members always talks about how worry free and relaxed she feels when she swings. Play is important for adults as well. After all, we don't stop playing because we grow old, we grow old because we stop playing.

🛀🏾 ESSENTIAL OIL BATH soak can go a long way to relax your muscles and your mind. Some of our team's favorite essential oils to use for relaxation are lavender, clary sage, chamomile, jasmine, ylang ylang & sandalwood.

Wishing you an enjoyable National Relaxation Day!

Knowing and understanding your triggers is important to being a successful leader. Before you respond to a situation that has triggered you, STOP for a moment and plan your response.

Here are five tips that will help you stop and think before you respond when you are triggered:

🚫 Improve your emotional intelligence so you respond to challenges in an emotionally appropriate manner.

🚫 Expend your energy wisely. Discipline yourself to only respond when it is prudent for the advancement of the organization's/business' mission, or to maintain integrity.

🚫 Focus on the situation/trigger that caused you to be triggered, not the person involved.

🚫 Be ready to pivot with a contingency plan.

🚫 Seek care from a professional mental health professional if you feel your triggers are too overwhelming to manage on your own.
