Heart strings pulled. This post took me back to my days at TOUCH Community Services , where I was helping the elderly, at-risk youth, and the community. The post discussed difficult yet critical subjects like Lasting Power of Attorney and Advance Care Planning, . This post made me think about the struggles that the elderly, whom I had the privilege to serve, had to endure. They were in constant need of assistance and understanding, reminding me of the importance of our work. Family relationships of the elderly were another common area of concern. There were constant challenges due to unspoken expectations and communication gaps, leading to various relational issues. Lasting Power of Attorney and Advance Care Planning are difficult but essential topics. These conversations can be tough to start, but they are of significant importance. From what I've seen, it's hard to kick off these conversations, but once they begin, true emotions are exposed. Yes, it might cause some hurt, but it's from this point that healing can start. It's in these difficult discussions that opportunities for understanding and reconciliation appear. If you haven't done this for your loved ones yet, I emplore you to consider.

Way to go Maeve! Thanks for sharing your talents, story and leadership.

Embracing a Healthier You in 2024 Prioritizing Physical and Mental Well-Being As we step into the promising realm of 2024, it's time to set goals that truly resonate with our well-being. Amidst the hustle and bustle of professional and personal life, it's crucial to make self-care a non-negotiable priority. This new year, let's embark on a journey to nurture both our physical and mental health. 1. Establishing Mindful Habits In a world that moves at an ever-increasing pace, mindfulness becomes our anchor. Consider incorporating simple yet effective practices like meditation or deep breathing exercises into your daily routine. These moments of stillness can significantly contribute to reducing stress, enhancing focus, and fostering a positive mindset. 2. Nourishing Your Body from Within A healthy mind resides in a healthy body. Explore and adopt a nutrition plan that aligns with your individual needs and preferences. This isn't about strict diets; it's about cultivating a sustainable, balanced approach to eating. Hydration is equally vital. 3. Prioritizing Regular Physical Activity Exercise isn't just about sculpting the body; it's a powerful tool for mental well-being. Find an activity that brings you joy, whether it's yoga, running, or a group exercise class. Regular physical activity not only boosts your mood by releasing endorphins but also contributes to improved overall health. 4. Setting Boundaries for a Healthy Work-Life Integration In our dynamic work environments, setting boundaries is often overlooked. Make a commitment to delineate work and personal time. This could mean logging off at a specific hour, designating tech-free zones, or scheduling regular breaks to recharge. Striking a balance between work and personal life is vital for long-term well-being. 5. Cultivating Meaningful Connections Human connection is a fundamental aspect of our well-being. In 2024, let's prioritize fostering and maintaining meaningful relationships. Whether it's spending quality time with loved ones, connecting with colleagues beyond work tasks, or joining communities that share your interests, building strong connections contributes to a robust support system. 6. Seeking Professional Support When Needed Acknowledging that it's okay to ask for help is a strength, not a weakness. If you find yourself struggling, consider reaching out to mental health professionals. Seeking support is a proactive step towards nurturing your mental health. Let's embrace the opportunity to invest in ourselves. Prioritizing both physical and mental health isn't just a resolution; it's a commitment to living a fulfilling and balanced life. 🎇#NewYearNewYou #WellBeing2024 #HealthGoals #WorkplaceWellness Find out more about Virgin Active South Africa's Workplace Wellness Programmes and Offers email: marieke.welman@virginactive.co.za Marise Collins Therina Labuschagne Musa Mahlasela Jason Grippa Prince Ncube Camilla Bergman

Accountability helps you be all you can be.

Accountability is often seen as punitive when it is actually what helps us thrive individually and collectively. Without accountability, we tend to make up our own rules for success as we think it should be. When we are accountable, we must look beyond our self to see how we contribute to the larger goals around us. This, then, provides an opportunity for us to be even more effective individually in a continual loop. Accountability also builds commitment and engages us in what we do. It is essential to organizational effectiveness and should be positively embraced. #accountabilitymatters #organizationaleffectiveness #biggerthanourselves
