How you spend your morning will impact your mood, outlook and mindset for the entire day. When you are well rested and engaged in a positive morning routine, you'll notice that you're more productive and fun to be around for the whole day, which is more than the 65% of workers say, who claim to wake up tired and unhappy. Instead of hitting the snooze button until the last minute, we suggest taking time to meditate, exercise, be creative, stare at the wall...it's all good! The most important thing is that you take control of your mornings and create a routine that matters to you.

Don’t mornings mean hitting the snooze and leaping out of bed at the last minute?! Of course, and that is what 69% of us do. But, how you start the day influences your well being, mood, mindset and productivity for the rest of the day.

Overwhelm is a significant issue for women at work and about a third of us seek professional help to deal with overwhelming stress. When you are overwhelmed, you are experiencing intense emotions you don’t have the capacity to fully manage or process. Most people are overwhelmed by negative emotions, like anxiety, fear, anger or shame. These feelings leave little room to figure out what is the next best step. When we are overwhelmed, performing every-day tasks is difficult – and it compromises our ability to act rationally, remember things, solve problems or think.

When you are overwhelmed, you are experiencing intense emotions you don’t have the capacity to fully manage or process, which leaves little room to problem solve. Plus, being overwhelmed makes us feel gross, changes our brains, and forces us to behave in bizarre ways.

Our Western culture has created a focus on work and accomplishment – to the detriment of our physical, emotional, mental and spiritual well-being. Instead, we offer that each and every one of us need…deserve…or rather, should demand more rest and relaxation. In the words of the Nap Bishop herself, “Rest requires a revolution.”

When we talk about belonging at work, it means we feel seen for our unique contributions, connected to our coworkers, supported in our daily work and career development and proud of our organization’s values and purpose. When we feel a sense of belonging at work, we are more likely to stay, to be engaged, to be loyal, to be proud, to be better at our jobs and to experience psychological safety. Do you feel like you belong at work?

It feels a bit ironic to be posting this on social media platforms, but it's the truth: We are drawn social media it like moths to a flame – yet we always get zapped. Why do we do this – well, the brain science says social media triggers the same parts of our brain that are triggered by other addictions such as gambling or alcoholism. Sound familiar? Studies have also revealed that people who use social media as a distraction at work can take up to two hours to get back to their original task. Feels like the opposite of at work!

When considering the dynamics between cis-gendered men and women in the workplace, the “advice” available in the media on this topic is terrible. Women are told to drink beer, avoid conflict, be kind, learn to golf, keep your personal life private and of course, soften yourself in voice and appearance so you are more attractive to men. Where do we go from this crock of horse manure?! We take up space, honor our preferences, showcase our talents, step up to challenge and embody the amazing, powerful, talented, empathetic, smart women that we are!

Current research indicates that the most important factor in team performance is psychological safety. Magic can happen when team members tend to each other’s basic needs such as their feelings and experiences. Psychological safety means that every team member believes that they won’t be punished or humiliated for speaking up with ideas, questions, concerns, or mistakes.

Do you feel safe in the teams you work in? Do you feel supported and lifted up by your coworkers? Our most recent podcast explores the notion of psychological safety in teams, and how to achieve it!

Our most recent podcast is all about you, sister! We were so curious to know what makes high achieving women tick. So we dug into the research from the center for creative leadership and discovered that high achieving women are all working on the same things. The most interesting part about it, is that high achieving women spend more time working on themselves than they do on their career.

And if there was any question, let us clarify… It’s up to each one of you to decide what high achieving means. Your success is yours to define.
