Breaking Down Mental Health

My company has different workshops to help employees. These are the notes of one. Any misinformation is the fault of the note taker.

Signs up burnout and stress:

Stress can be healthy burn out is when you cross the line. Burn out can cause depression.
Stress is illustrated by over management or urgency. Burn out gives disengagement or unmotivated.
When you want to disconnect it is advisable to seek out help. Theory is to playing an active role in your own mind. Is important to understand you.
When you start to disengage > you need to give yourself permission to give 50% or 70% on different days. 100% is not a sustainable model. Give yourself permission to slide back a little back.
You never know what people are going through. Sometimes, you can see your environment with new eyes. There was a slump in performance in the dept. opened a dialog to see what was contributing to the problem.
Your employer may have ’employee assistance programs’ that can offer help.
You need to fill up your cup first before you can help others. using PTO or other resources to help support you.

Strategies for facing challenges:

There is strength in vulnerability but don’t use it as an excuse to not perform. Make sure you are having conversations with your manager to be aware of challenges.
Bend so you don’t break. Stretch physically. Get on the move and stretch with yourself.
Make time to work, make time to play, make time to learn. Schedule time for each.
Ask for permission of yourself. Find out when a deadline is really set it’s not all immediately.
You need to be intentional about your mental health. You need to create intentional process.
Set up a good environment for your mental health.
One presenter makes time to mediate or listen to podcasts. Learn new lessons to help you learn of your new self.
Exercise and play.
As a manager, she tries to create positive emotional moments with her team.
You may want to redefine success. Not just at work but at family, and community.
Keep the communication going in regards to yourself, your circle, and your manager if needed.
When you have, concerns do not keep in the shadows. Seek help. Be kind to yourself.
