As we wrap up the weekend and head into the traditional work week (plus a lot of people heading to school), take a look at these great recommendations from Jeff Wetzler in The Greater Good Science Center. We can ALL benefit from the wisdom of others, and these are excellent tips for many parts of life! Five Ways to Tap Into Other People’s Wisdom

I'm not one to watch morning shows, but this series about caregiving is incredibly insightful. Caregivers range from part-time helpers to full-time care in our residences. While we as a global society speak about burnout, we also need to recognize the specific burnout of caregivers. 80 million Americans are caring for both children and aging parents. The care can be expensive. The helpers are sparse at times. The consistency of care doesn't feel possible. Here are ways you can support caregivers in the workplace: 📅 Offer flexible schedules - This may include synchronous and asynchronous work hours that differentiate across employees. 💲 Provide flexible savings accounts for dependent care - While not everyone can use this option, it is a 20-30% savings for care over a calendar year. 🎤 Ask leaders and influencers in the company to share how they navigate caregiving in the work world. Extra brownie points: speak about practices that don't involve money. 🗣 Schedule regular sessions on caregiving and specific needs (ex. insurance questions) for employees. 📲 Remind employees about your EAP program as a wellness support. I could go on, but I'll stop here. What else would you add to the list? #caregivers #sandwichgeneration #burnout

In honor of Mental Awareness Month, I'm pulling out one of my favorite infographics. I created this one a couple of years ago, based on Kathryn Connors' 2006 review article in the Journal of Clinical Psychiatry. How many of these characteristics of resilience do you use on a daily basis? If you use at least half or more, good for you! If there's still room for improvement (I know there is for myself), consider these questions: 🧠How can I frame the challenges I face today as opportunities for growth and learning? 🧠In what situations can I take more responsibility for my actions and their outcomes? 🧠What daily practices can I adopt to remind myself of my intrinsic value, beyond my achievements or appearance? 🧠Which of my passions or long-term goals can I dedicate time to this week, demonstrating grit and perseverance? 🧠When facing fear or hesitation, how can I encourage myself to take a step forward in courage? 🧠In moments of negativity or doubt, what strategies can I use to shift my perspective towards optimism? 🧠What gives my life meaning? How will I devote more time and energy toward what is important to me and those I love? 🧠How can I practice self-compassion this week, especially in moments of self-criticism or failure? 🧠How can I connect with and support others today? 🧠How might I inject more laughter and humor into my daily life? *************** ➡️➡️NEW INFOGRAPHICS EVERY WEEK⬅️⬅️ RING THE🔔 TO BE NOTIFIED #resilience #wellbeing #mentalawareness #litvakexecutivesolutions #neurocoachinggroup
