  • The Self-Awareness Challenge

    1. Internal self-awareness:  Pay attention to where you feel feelings in your body.  Is your go to signal clenched fists or tight shoulders, tightness in your chest or a sick feeling in your stomach?  The challenge this week is just to notice and we will talk on Sunday about what you noticed and why it matters. 

    2. External self-awareness:  Find 2-4 people that care about you and want the best for you but will give you the real goods too and then go to the Self-Awareness quiz by Dr Tasha Eurich:  ( Link to the quiz) or just ask them to consider these 2 questions from Dr Kristi Hedges (2019).  Also found on p. 38 of the book. 

    1. What’s the general perception of me?

    2. What could I do differently that would have the greatest impact on my success

“The research is so very clear that when people are “well” it increases their health, happiness, and success.”

Hi, I’m Gail Markin.
Hi, I’m Gail Markin.

One of the things I love about learning and developing workplace well-being is the interplay of science and soul. I wrote Beyond Self Care with research along stories from the field with the goal to add one small piece to the important, collective work on well-being and just maybe take one little thing off your most certainly overloaded plate!
