Check your mental health batteries
Your health, both physical and mental are a priority. In times of uncertainty or during unprecedented situations it is important to take time and check in with yourself on how you are feeling or coping with various life demands.
Whether it is acute stress or ongoing reactions during a tough time, you can check your mental health batteries with the 3Rs: Reflect, Recharge, Reach Out.
- Reflect – how you have been feeling during the last few weeks? Be honest with yourself.
- Recharge – after you have thought about or identified your feelings, it is important to learn about why you may be feeling that way.
- Reach out – seek additional support e.g. register for a one-on-one coaching session on the area in which you feel requires additional support.
