November spotlight: flow and grow
The end of year is fast approaching and many of us are left scratching our heads wondering where the year has gone. While there may be many tasks left to achieve, don’t forget to take some time to breathe.
This November try to find some time to unleash your creativity, try something new or find your ‘flow’.
Be inspired
Be inspired to prioritise your health and wellbeing by attending a wellness event. Check out some of the events you can attend this month:
Flow
Being in a state of ‘flow’ means feeling completely immersed in an activity or task. Flow is different for everyone. What is that one activity for you where you lose track of time and gain a sense of serenity or joy?
Flow can help us thrive and has many health benefits. It's great for creativity, performance and managing stress.
Try to create some space for flow on a daily basis – even if you have to schedule it. Be present and engage fully in the activity at hand.
Grow
A growth mindset means we believe that we have the capacity to keep learning and developing. This can have a positive impact on learning, resilience, tenacity and the ability to accomplish goals. Try these tips to help develop a growth mindset:
- see challenges as opportunities
- replace judgement with acceptance
- learn new things
- be open to feedback
- celebrate successes.
