Something to consider for the wellbeing of our teams.

When we were first married my husband and I played a game for married couples with some long married friends. One of the questions was, "How would you describe yourself in one word?", and your spouse had to choose the one to match yours in order to get a point in the game. I don't remember all the choices, but rose and book were the two that stood out to me. I recall hoping that my would know that I would instinctively choose book. Not because I love to read or that I think I'm smarter than everyone else BUT because I LOVE to learn new things. Thankfully, he didn't choose rose and we kicked the other couples butts!!! I enjoy attempting to master new skills like making kombucha, learning to ferment vegetables, making bread, baking something new, learning about how to keep chickens, gardening difficult to grow flowers or vegetables, figuring out how to fix my bike by myself. . . You see, I'm not afraid to get myself dirty. What my husband finds frustrating about these things is that though the habits become part of my regular routine I don't develop them to the point of perfection so I can make a business of it. There is a very good reason for this. I want to continue learning skills which will benefit my family and bring me joy and have the freedom to practice them without the stress of it becoming a burden. At one time I wanted to have my own business. Then I saw the reality of things. . . My husband has a cabinet shop. Really that is a misnomer - he has a manufacturing facility. He USED to be a cabinet maker. He USED to enjoy making things out of wood and took pride is the work of his hands. Now he is slave to his business. His entire life is his business - keeping customers happy and people employed so the business can continue to grow. He has employees who make boxes for his clients. His hands rarely ever touch the materials with which he once so loved working. What was once his creative outlet is now his living nightmare, his taskmaster, and the focus of all his attention. He has a wife who loves him and two beautiful, sweet, smart little girls who are growing so fast and he has little time to spend with them. They'll be grown and gone before he knows it and he'll have missed it all. Time will go by and I'll become more and more the stranger who is married to a house that he happens to sleep in.

Happiness comes from your own actions. Happiness is a choice. When you find yourself in an emotional state that you'd rather not be in, you have the power to change it in an instant.

Happiness is something that is very important to people … but people will explicitly trade off the pursuit of happiness to pursue other goals.

The bad news: Our brains are wired to be negative. The good news: Happiness doesn't mean you have to be naive, just think realistically.

Reprograming the mind is extremely difficult for many to do but neccessary for success. Winning the war in our own minds is what will determine not only how far we wil get in life but also in our own personal development.

The work/life balance is with we all struggle with every day. Living and working in a remote area, I find it challenging to separate my work life from my home life. It’s extremely important to put things in place to ensure you are getting the most out of each and can separate the two. Making health and wellbeing a priority can help you manage the stresses that come with work. Simply eating healthy and exercising daily can make a huge impact on your mental health, as well as ensuring you are sleeping properly and have energy for the next day, rather than thinking about work all night. You can ensure you have time each night with no phones or laptop devices, and create habits/routines which trick your mind into knowing you are home and not at work. There are millions of things you can put in place and not only will you, but your family and colleagues benefit.
