September Is National Self-Care Awareness Month
We have been blaming the pandemic
for changing the way we lived and
worked. Definitely, certain disruptions
have occurred but the pandemic-led-situations
have also made each one of us
realize the value of many things in life
including, resilience, prioritizing self-care
and gratitude. As September being the
National Self-Care Awareness Month,
let us look back at the life lessons the
pandemic has taught us and decide what
we should carry forward with us and
what we should leave behind.
In this issue of Personal Excellence, we
have included a few articles that will
help you slow down, focus on yourself
and move closer toward your goals,
despite challenges.
Whether you’ve thrived or struggled
during the pandemic, there’s no doubt
challenges came your way. The good
news is that regardless of how things
have gone up until now, you can
reposition your focus to make a big
splash and finish off the year strong.
Angela Civitella in her article, 7 Ways To
Finish The Year Strong, reassures that
no matter what has happened up to this
point, the next few months can be your
best ever.
When people are doing what you want
them to do and your plans are working
out the way you hoped, life is easy. But,
how do you react when people aren’t
doing what you want them to do and
your plans aren’t unfolding the way
you had hoped? That’s the true test.
Read Liz Uram’s article, Don’t Be The
“Hot Mess” Boss that talks about five
communication habits of emotionally
intelligent leaders.
The feeling of ‘doom and gloom’ and
a lot of anxiety is what a lot of us are
experiencing today. How can you, as an
individual, change this and influence
the negative place into a positive
place? Lizette Volkwyn’s article, Tips To
Influence The (Negative) Workplace Into
A Positive One, answers this and more.
Many people feel a dramatic sense of
loneliness that can lead to depression,
increased stress and a lack of purpose
or mission in life. Why is this? Do you
want to continue the rest of your life
in this current state or do you want
to change something? Check out
Tim Connor’s article, The Source Of
Loneliness that sheds light on creating
an action list of things.
In brief, the articles in this edition will
definitely help you on your path toward
personal and professional development
and will surely go a long way towards
improving your life skills. We hope you
enjoy reading all the articles and get
back to us with your valuable feedback.
Cheers!
