25.01.2022 With COVID-19 causing a significant disruption in the day to day lives of hospo workers, everything is up for renegotiation. Despite being disruptive, you now have the opportunity to examine what is important to you and what you really want to get back to. Engaging in good self-care involves some decisions on how you would like to take care of yourself . At the moment, this may look like a restructuring of your time, focusing on sleep and eating a balanced diet. It is also im...portant to incorporate movement, social connections, spending time with your family and enjoyable activities into your day that bring you pleasure and a sense of relaxation. Check out these suggestions by Psychologist Amanda Brown about what you can think about and do to help you make decisions regarding your self-care. #strongertogether #hospohappyhour #hospitalityindustry #wellbeing #selfcare #mentalhealth #wearehospitality #hospitalityunites #hospolife #inthistogether #hospoforlife #altiusgroup

25.01.2022 Developing a positive outlook is one of the simplest and most immediate things you can do to help increase your self-confidence. A positive outlook does not necessarily mean that you need to smile all the time and not get upset or frustrated when things go wrong - what it does mean is that you spend more time focusing on solutions as opposed to problems which will in turn develop another valuable attribute; resilience. #strongertogether #hospitalityindustry #wellbeing #mentalhealth #positivity #selfconfidence #resilience #wearehospitality #hospitalityunites #hospolife #inthistogether #hospoforlife #altiusgroup #quoteoftheday

21.01.2022 What you do and how you think are often habitual with your habits comprising approximately 45% of your behaviour. Habits exist as they serve a function, for example biting your nails when youre are anxious provides comfort, and as you continue to partake in these behaviours or thought processes they become automatic responses to certain situations. This automation is a reward for practice which saves cognitive effort and leaves you with more bandwidth to focus on more comp...lex tasks or create new or more complex habits. #strongertogether #hospohappyhour #hospitalityindustry #wellbeing #selfcare #habits #mentalhealth #wearehospitality #hospitalityunites #hospolife #inthistogether #hospoforlife #altiusgroup

01.01.2022 Self-compassion involves treating yourself with care and concern particularly during painful life situations. It comprises three interacting components: self-kindness versus self-judgement, that humans are imperfect and mindfulness versus over-identification. Self-kindness refers to the tendency to be caring and understanding toward yourself rather than being harshly critical. When life circumstances are stressful, instead of immediately trying to control or fix the situation..., a self-compassionate response might entail pausing first to offer yourself comfort. The sense of common humanity in self-compassion involves recognising that humans are imperfect, that all people fail, make mistakes and have serious life challenges. Mindfulness in the context of self-compassion involves being aware of ones painful experiences in a balanced way that neither ignores and avoids nor amplifies painful thoughts and emotions. #strongertogether #hospohappyhour #hospitalityindustry #wellbeing #selfcare #mindfulness #compassion #kindness #mentalhealth #wearehospitality #hospitalityunites #hospolife #inthistogether #hospoforlife #altiusgroup
