This week, I'm sharing with you a podcast episode where I was a guest on Building PA Podcast with hosts Chris Martin and John O'Brian.

"The discussion is around the importance of employee wellness, safety concerns, and workforce challenges.

The podcast emphasizes the significance of reducing the stigma around mental health by promoting awareness and education. The importance of self-care and meeting individuals where they are on their wellness journey, acknowledging their unique circumstances, and tailoring support accordingly.

Overall, the goal is to improve employees’ mental health and well-being through a multifaceted approach that prioritizes culture, support, and education.

Foster positive relationships: Connect with others who share your values and interests. Positive relationships can provide support and encouragement, which can boost your mood and overall well-being.
Set goals: Set realistic and achievable goals for yourself, both short-term and long-term. This can help you stay motivated and focused on what’s important to you.
Stay present: Focus on the present moment and try not to worry too much about the future or dwell on the past. Practicing mindfulness can help you stay present and reduce stress. By incorporating these practices into your daily routine, you can cultivate a wellness mindset that promotes overall health and well-being.
Manage stress: Stress can have a negative impact on your overall health and well-being. Practice stress-reducing activities such as meditation, deep breathing, or yoga.

I specialize in helping women find and claim their personal power. Providing educational products, training, mentoring, empowerment workshops, and networking events for women all over the world. Today I am going to be asking you some questions to really get you thinking about your life. From the perspective, Are you living your best or are you letting the fear of change and the unknown hold you back? Let’s take a deep dive together to ask these specific questions to identify what’s important to us living out our best lives. Really start focusing our lives on what is important. The 5 questions to ask yourself are: 1. If you had one year to live, what would you stop doing? 2. If you had one year to live, what would you start doing? 3. If you had one year to live, what would you no longer care about? 4. If you had one year to live, what would you care more about? 5. And why do your thoughts, feelings, and actions change if you have less time to live? Contact: Edna E. Howard Founder/CEO, Voices of Encouragement, LLC.
