Have a look around, we’ve highlighted some popular areas below.
Mindfulness |
||
|
|
Mindfulness Practice is one of many approaches to self-care and wellbeing. It is the intention to be awake and aware in the present moment as it is, to notice and name whatever is occurring as thought, feeling, sensation, distraction and/or impulse, without judgement or reaction, using a natural or local anchor, such as the breath. We slow down and open the possibility of choice and acceptance. Mindfulness practice has been around in the world for over 2,500 years and more recently it has been clinically and scientifically scrutinized by hundreds of mental health and clinical groups, embraced by global corporations, schools and public services. |

Culture |
||
|
|
Culture is ultimately the way we do things, noticing how we treat our colleagues, and also how we support ourselves to come to work every day. NES Our Way helps us to let others know what matters to you, including your communication preferences and the signs if you're not feeling your normal self. |
|
Self-leadership |
||
|
|
Practicing self-leadership is one way of helping provide you with a sense of accountability and ownership over your working life and the areas that you can control. Self-leadership in the workplace is a dynamic concept that empowers you to take command of your actions, emotions, and performance. At its core, it involves increasing self-awareness, self-motivation, and self-regulation. |
|
Anxiety |
||
|
|
Whether you're experiencing anxiety or supporting someone who is, these resources aim to empower individuals with knowledge and tools to navigate anxiety effectively and improve overall wellbeing. Remember it is important of seek help and support networks when symptoms become too much to manage alone. |
