A better workforce a better workplace

We find ourselves in this modern world of ours on a precipice, a precipice where the importance of employees well-being cannot be ignored or brushed aside. For too long, the unwarranted stigma surrounding taking time off work due to mental health has weighed down the minds and physical wellbeing of the workforce, hindering the untapped potential that lies within each and every individual and the entire environment they work in.

Im not going to get all preachy on you and demand change, rather it’s a call for change and empowerment from the top down. It’s a time for companies, it’s leaders, and all types of organisations to rise to the occasion by leading by example by recognising and acknowledging the inherent worth and significance of each and every team member’s mental and physical well-being. A healthier, happier, and more appreciated workforce is the bedrock of productivity and unparalleled success.

Imagine a workplace that is not only measured by profit margins and growth charts but by the flourishing of its people, a sanctuary where mental and physical health are nurtured, where conversations about emotions and feelings are not hushed, but embraced with compassion and understanding, with the help that’s encouraged and with end goals and not just pacified box ticking.

Let start with a transformative journey, beginning with breaking down barriers and stigmas. Mental health should not be veiled in the shadows but brought into the daylight with empathy, understanding and support. And It starts with education—inspiring the future leaders, managers, creating teams of people who have the mindset to recognise the signs of any distress and extend a hand of kindness and encouragement to foster an environment of trust, respect and positive action.

By casting a discerning eye over current workplace practices, it’s plain to see that it still in many sectors seemingly encouraging stress, anxiety, and discontentment by embracing unrealistic deadlines and tolerating bullying, this should not be the norm in today workplace, and are adversaries to progress. It shouldn’t take a rocket scientists to work out how to rectify this issue easily and effectively.

Don’t you think it would be more productive and cost effective to champion a culture that values work-life balance, that empowers individuals to set their own pace, and to find harmony in the pursuit of professional and personal fulfillment. It’s only by implementing this kind of approach we begin to sow seeds of creativity and innovation and encourage people to blossom, together propelling organisations and and industries to uncharted heights.

The pursuit of happiness is not a pipe dream, it’s really isn’t, a fulfilled workforce radiates with motivation, commitment, and enthusiasm, leaving no challenge unattainable. By uplifting and cherishing employees, it elevates everyone, organisation, industries, and the collective consciousness.

It’s said that a healthier happier workforce is not a distant dream but a tangible reality within everyones grasp. And I truly believe this is true, armed with compassion, determination, and the unwavering belief in the power of a truly appreciated and empowered workforce, a world where mental health is not looked at with mistrust but embraced with compassion and understanding. A world where each individual shines as a radiant star in the constellation of success, my apologies that’s my dramatics and flamboyancy leaking out, but with all honesty all of this is attainable if we all inspire to be the catalysts of transformation, leading each other towards a brighter, healthier, and harmonious future for ourselves and generations to come.

It costs nothing to be kind, but the gratitude we receive in return is priceless.

Influence.

Not everything we believe to be true is true and not everything we believe to be untrue is an untrue, it all depends on perspective.

What influences you?

Who influences you?

Who do you influence?

I ask these questions because it’s important for us to realise the influences in our lives and how they dictate how we live.

At a young age we learn much about life from our parents, our grandparents, family members, teachers, books, TV, film the list goes on, growing up we have had our lives influenced by many people and things even into our adult lives without even knowing it, we have taken on many of there values and beliefs about what is good and bad, right and wrong, true and false even real and fake and these beliefs and values even echo’s onto who we now influence.

As a coach, I talk with a lot of people that have trouble with living their lives because there belief systems clashes with how they live life and perceive it to be, leaving them unhappy, confused, torn, lost, alone and often depressed. My job is to help people understand that with adjustment to there values and beliefs through looking at why they believe the things they do and how they may not be true beliefs and they may not be serving them as they should be, we can then work together and find a clearer path that’s more rewarding mentally and spiritually for them, creating new values and beliefs along the way.

 

Every person is different and there is no one-way of changing a belief system to one that’s more relevant and truthful to the individual involved, its down to the individual them selves what they are willing to let go of and what they are open to learn that’s the biggest ask, because it can sometimes bring pain, loss, sorrow, doubt, regret and even fear before it brings strength, happiness, meaning, belonging, self value and love.

 

Changing our beliefs and values can change our lives in so many positive ways but its not easy, and having a coach supporting you, helping you, guiding you and most importantly believing in you throughout the bad as well as the good times, is an investment not only in your yourself but also in your future.

The Choice

I was asked recently how I keep such a stiff upper lip in times of stress and turmoil, and how I never seem sad or down anymore. Well the answer I gave wasn’t expected, or at least I don’t believe it was. You see, my answer was: I do still stress out at times, I do still feel sad and have bad days just like everyone else does – the only difference is that I don’t let them consume me or ruin my day. I make a conscious decision to stay positive and calm whenever I can. It’s not easy and it’s taken time for me to be able to control my actions and reactions to everyday misfortunes, but anyone can do the same with determination and a little self-belief. It’s all too easy to complain and feel sorry for ourselves, but it gets us nowhere. Life needn’t be a hindrance; life can be amazing if we truly want it to be, and we can live it on our terms.

If you feel you’re getting the sharp end of the stick and life is being a bitch, or if you’ve simply had a guts full of feeling low, why not get in contact? Together we can build a better tomorrow for all of us.

Nothing is unless we make it so.

We all have different needs, we all have different beliefs – in fact, I’d say we are all as different as can be, but are still the same in many ways. Who we are and how we live is a complicated issue. We all perceive life in various ways, as if living in different realities. Some of us find life’s journey difficult, some of us find it less so; it’s all down to perspective and perspectives can be changed. But whose perspective is right and whose is wrong? Well to be totally honest with you, I don’t believe there is a right or wrong way – we are all guessing. There is no big book of how to live our lives correctly, unless we take religious texts into consideration – but they are only the ideologies of a group of people who hold their own agenda and not a reliable ‘go to’ book. If there was a guide book in my mind, it would have a simple premise: be loving, be kind, be happy, be grateful, be confident and believe. We all know right from wrong, when we should and shouldn’t be doing something. I guess what I’m trying to say is, as humans, we have the ability to make choices in our lives, we can stay or we can go, we can say yes or no, we are not rooted to the spot. ‘Nothing is unless we make it so’ is a statement I truly believe in; it’s the fundamental principle of what I teach and how I live my life. I believe if we live a good, positive life then good things will come to us, and we learn to appreciate life for the beauty and opportunities it brings. Me and you, you and me, we can be who we want to be, and if we shoot our dreams a little too far out into the universe and we run out of time, at least we would have had an amazing journey along the way.

You’re Worth the Effort 

When life feels like it’s hit rock bottom, the only way for us to go is back up. Don’t see it as a bad thing, think of all the good that can come also. Life is a game and we can play along randomly, hoping we are playing correctly. We can give up and hide away from it all and pretend it’s not happening, or we can take charge, reinvent ourselves and start living by our own rules. Life isn’t easy and it isn’t fair, but letting it grind us down is a sure way of losing touch with who we are and who we really could be. Mindful Attraction offers us the chance of getting the ball rolling in a journey of self-improvement, self-awareness and burning belief that anything is possible with the power of you. Seeing people improve or change their lives gives me the drive to carry on with what I first thought was just an idea, and by sharing this idea I have touched so many people – not only my friends and family and my class attendances, but people from all over the wold that follow my blog and social media. Sometimes it’s easy to forget why we started something, but it’s ok as long as you remember that you did start and that our journey will not always be steady. Learning along the way is the key to remembering. Never give up on yourself, you are worth the effort.

Strive to Be

I get asked why I do what I do, and what I get out of it quite often; when I get asked this question I feel proud to answer. I do what I do because I choose to. I choose to live a happy, fulfilled life on my terms because I have the self-belief that what I do is the right thing to do. What I get out of it is self-fulfilment. I have the ability to make a difference in the world, it’s who I am, it’s what makes me feel alive, it’s my passion. There are no excuses or barriers: if we want something hard enough we will fight until our last breath to achieve it. If I can inspire, help or bring positivity and hope to one person each day, then I have achieved what I have set out to do. I strive to make a difference, to give hope and show that everyone – and I mean everyone – can become and achieve whatever they set their mind on. Life is a maze and we can easily get lost within it, but we are not alone, and if we don’t panic and don’t let doubt set in, we can follow in the footsteps of the people who came before us. We can create a clearer path for those who are to follow. I started Byw as a tool for self-improvement. My initial plan was for me to use it to help myself overcome problems and sculpt a better existence( one where I choose how I experience life, and I choose to be positive. Byw has grown – and is still growing – into something more than I could have imagined. It’s given me a platform to share what I have learned with the world and the world has responded with gratitude and appreciation. Admittedly, I still have a lot to learn and a long way to travel before I reach my destination, but I know that along the way I get to be part of something amazing. If I’m able to share the amazing things then I will, I strive to be, so you can too.
