KPIs are in full effect, and with that, we still must manage our stress, our expectations for ourselves, and the expectations of others. It sounds logical and straightforward, really, but is it? In this post, I will offer on-the-go aromatics and affirmation prompts for you to consider throughout your day.

ACCEPTING SUCCESS

 

It’s not uncommon to do the opposite of accepting success since one most often considers the challenges of getting from point A to point B. However, think about it, starting with accepting success alters the mental rollercoaster since one is setting the expectations to celebrate the wins or losses. There is great power in controlling your mental narrative. Consider these prompts as you begin. Keep it simple to either become clear on the expectations for yourself or manage the expectations of others.

 

  • I UNDERSTAND 
  • I SEE 
  • I SPEAK
  • I LOVE
  • I DO 
  • I FEEL 
  • I AM 


 Occasionally, one may require a boost to uplift and break through the fog to gain mental clarity. To do this, why not try a Nasal Atomizer? A nasal atomizer is a quick and easy-on-the-go aromatic lift for all ages. 



New If you should choose to try a nasal atomizer, here are a few recommendations.

  1. Don’t get fancy. One essential oil should do the trick, especially if you have minimal experience with essential oils. The common calmative essential oil is lavender. After removing the cotton insert, add a few drops, place it back into the sleeve, shake it up, and enjoy. 
  2. Not comfortable with doing it yourself. Many trained aromatherapists are familiar with the benefits of nasal atomizers. Consider seeking a certified aromatherapist to discuss the goals you want to achieve using a nasal atomizer. Have the aromatherapist prepare a blend for you. 

The great part about a nasal atomizer, especially if one works in an open office space, is that the scent won’t disturb others, but you have what you need.

We begin to say goodbye to 2024 with cooler temperatures and yuletide attitudes as December ends. One thing is sure: self-regulation starts with the Self despite all else. In the last blog for 2024, I explore the sixth and final virtue, Courage, as well as three character strengths: Honesty, Bravery, and Perseverance, with the pendulum swinging both ways as a reminder we can make it through the first starting with Self. A great conclusion to the MTO Lean-in Series, which focuses on character strengths and virtues from the VIA Institute. I had initially planned to finish this series in October, but I found myself overwhelmed with school and work. I had convinced myself that I could push through despite feeling fatigued. However, I realized that the virtue of Courage also encompasses the character strength of Honesty. It was time for me to be honest with myself, which meant reevaluating the narrative I had created in my head. So, I took a break and reframed my internal dialogue to accept my revised story to remind myself that the pendulum swings both ways, so I must put myself first and focus on myself to overcome a self-imposed narrative that pushing through is the best way. I challenge you, amidst this season of giving and gratitude, to be honest with yourSELF—it's a personal journey. Is being honest with yourself a sign of bravery? Depending on who you ask, you might get different answers. In my opinion, yes, we are often harder on ourSELVES than anyone else is. Bravery is usually defined as resilience, facing fears, and not shrinking in the face of a threat or challenge. So, why can't SELF be a challenge? To help you navigate this solitary journey of self-awareness, consider the following statement:  "I AM in charge of how I react to others. I choose to respond in a positive way."

Hello October! Q4 is in full swing, with MTO KPIs still at the forefront. It feels like I was saying "Happy New Year" just yesterday. Towards the end of June, I began the MTO Lean-in Series, which focuses on character strengths and virtues from the VIA Institute. I learned about the character strengths and virtues while completing my Positive Psychology Practitioner studies and found them intriguing, especially in relation to enhancing my mindfulness practice. So far, I've covered Temperance, Transcendence, Humanity, and Justice. This month, I'll be discussing the fifth virtue, Wisdom, as well as three character strengths: Judgment, Curiosity, and Perspective. I'll then conclude the series with the sixth virtue in the November blog post. For more information on VIA's character strengths, please visit the VIA Institute website at https://www.viacharacter.org. WISDOM Let’s begin with I've coined the Wisdom Tightrope when discussing the virtue of Wisdom because it involves a balancing act depending on the situation. The first character strength, Judgment, is rooted in critical thinking to counteract faulty thinking and biased opinions. When overused, Judgment can lead to narrow-mindedness, and when underused, one isn't reflective enough. Ironically, it is often frowned upon to judge ourselves and others, yet our analytical mind somehow gets in the way, which allows us to debate whether something that is frowned upon should be up for discussion.
