Spring Forward With Positivity & Purpose
We’ve got through the darkest months, that in 2021 were filled with uncertainty, lack of social connection and restrictions, and now, with an indicative roadmap out of lockdown, we can start to plan and move forward with more certainty.
So how can we move forward with optimal energy and purpose and build a better future? And how do we support those that have either thrived, or felt comfortable, in lockdown and now feel anxious about coming out?
Preparing ourselves, mentally and physically, and creating the right conditions for the next phase is vitally important. Whilst many people are raring to go there will be many people who are feeling burned out, fragile or anxious.
We all have a fantastic resource at our fingertips to guide us through this next phase – our EMOTIONS. They provide insights about what’s going on and how we are perceiving the situation and, used intentionally, they can provide a sustainable resource of energy.
We have created this newsletter with tips and techniques for creating positive emotional states so that we can create better relationships, tap into our intrinsic motivation and perform at our best, all of which will lead to a better future.
Please share them with others, have fun and be kind to yourself. And if you need help please reach out.
Love and best wishes
