SUMMARY:Reflect upon your own mental health and learn about the techniques that can help you
DESCRIPTION:Isn’t this all just fluffy ‘mindfulness’ nonsense anyway?\nSo how are you feeling today? Are you ok? But really, are you ok?\nHow many times does somebody ask us if we’re ok simply out of politeness\nknowing full well the answer will be fine or all good, even though perhaps\nthere is something not quite right?\nI see this exercise as my own personal check in that probes one more time\nand ask – but really, is everything ok?\nI almost hear myself answer back “well I’m glad you’ve asked!”\nI don’t know about you but I have a real tendency to simply shrug off things\nthat might challenge or upset me by sweeping things under the carpet or\nreferring back to the dreaded man up phrase. I would continue to silently\nabsorb more pressure, more work, more bills, more stress at home and I\nwould rarely check in with myself to see if the load was getting too much.\nI was close to burnout and it wasn’t until I checked in with myself that I could\nsee this coming down the track and now I was aware of it, it was on me to do\nsomething about it.\nI decided to learn about mental health awareness so I could look after myself\nand others in a more empathic way. It can be easy to just charge on regardless\nbut we must take time to ask of ourselves – are you ok, really?\nI found the introduction of transitions would really help when shifting between\nroles and responsibilities. A simple yet deliberate step where I’d take a longer\nwalk home, or a walk from my home office round the block before entering\nback in to ‘being Dad’.\nI’m really keen to not take work to home or home to work in a way that is\ncontrolled by the tasks and not decided by me. Transitions are a simple\naddition to my routine that help me shift focus, park my stresses and\ncontribute to bringing the best of me to home or work.\nBut what can you discover to help you check in?\n
