Taking charge of your well-being
This past weekend marked Global Wellness Day. It was a time to pause, breathe and ask ourselves: “What do I need to live a healthier and happier life?” Join us in this edition of ‘Thrive in 5’, as we dive into this question from the perspectives of individuals and employers.
The power of forgiving ourselves
The importance of forgiving others. But when it comes to ourselves, we’re often harder on ourselves or even forget to do the same. Self-forgivingness is just as important, if not more so because it manifests in every aspect of our lives, whether we’re aware of it or not. Let’s find out why, and how we can work towards being more forgiving.
Why you should forgive others for your own good
Forgiveness means different things to different people, but one thing we hear often is that forgiving others is important to the healing process. But why? Let's dive in.
Caring for nature means caring for your wellbeing
From floods to droughts and wildfires, the effects of climate change are now more tangible than ever before. And while the calls to help the planet with immediate action are essential, they equally support our own mental wellbeing - here’s why.
The science of being happy at work
“How to be happy?” is one of life’s greatest questions. Taking it a step further is the task of unravelling the science of happiness at work. It’s normal to see work as a means to an end, but there’s evidence to show that happy employees perform better at work.
Is happiness attainable?
Like any aspect of wellness, happiness is a constant work in progress. Question is, if it’s so fleeting, why do we strive so hard for it? And if we aren’t happy all the time, does that mean we’re unhappy?
Why self-care is essential to work-life balance
Setting boundaries at work is often hard to do, especially if it’s frowned upon at certain organizations. That makes it hard to address the impact of not having them - or worse yet, chronically breaking unspoken, unclear ones. Yet, they are a must for long-term self-preservation - and for better productivity.
Why maintaining boundaries requires the right support system
In a recent edition of 'Thrive in 5', we discussed the importance of self-care and setting boundaries at work as a way to prioritise well-being. We also acknowledged that doing this isn’t always easy - and, as a matter of fact, is a tough task for many. That's why enlisting the right kind of support - from family, friends, co-workers, or even your manager - is key. Don’t wind up putting yourself on the back-burner - we got you.
Give it a break, literally. It’s Global Wellness Day!
Why prioritising employee wellbeing is a win-win. Although the terms “health” and “wellness” are often used interchangeably, the latter is a more active and process-oriented pursuit compared to health, which is a state of being. With Global Wellness Day coming up on 11 June, we’re shining a light on wellness and ways to live a healthier life.
