Paul Vedder Jr.’s Post

It’s not often when you see two individuals worlds apart looking to change the way we think about mental health. While this article represents the challenges we face in a male dominated industry, these sentiments resonate with all people. Mental health is something you need to work on, taking action is the only way to see progress. What have you done today to secure a better level of health and wellbeing? Huge thanks to Yvonne-Marie Zaidan for taking this from concept to execution to highlight the important part these leaders play in their communities. Shout out to Dan Williams and Paul Vedder Jr. for being advocates of change and being vulnerable to show that it’s something you should enter Without Fear. Make sure you check out the resources at the bottom of the article.

"How do you manage mental health, physical health, and overall business?" This is the answer I heard on this question from a startup investor ⬇️ He said that throughout his career, he worked a lot, often leaving little time for his family to see him. However, despite his busy schedule, he always made it a point to be present during significant moments in his family's life. He never missed important events such as weddings, celebrations, birthdays, and so on. He was always there for his family and friends. And this was never forgotten. _______________ The main idea here is not only to be there for some “important days” in life and that’s all. Instead, it involves making time for things that truly matter. To be there for the people you value in your life. To invest quality time in relationships with those you value most. Because at the end of the day, the main factor that helps you manage those 3 things that are addressed in the question above, is the presence of healthy relationships in your life.

This quote carries an important message about self-care and self-compassion. It reminds us that it's perfectly acceptable, and even necessary at times, to prioritize our own well-being and happiness. Many people tend to feel guilty when they make decisions that are in their best interest, especially if it means saying no to others or setting boundaries. However, this quote encourages us to let go of that guilt. It emphasizes that taking care of ourselves, whether it's for our physical, emotional, or mental health, is not selfish; it's an essential part of leading a balanced and fulfilling life. Ultimately, when we are at our best, we can also be our best for those around us, making it a win-win situation. So, don't hesitate to prioritize what's best for you; it's an act of self-love and self-preservation. #MondayMotivational #SIRRandburg #NothingCompares

Human beings- we have accomplished so much. When you think about it, we are amazing! But is the constant bombardment of negativity damaging our mental health? How are we allowing this to happen? Where is the good news? The understanding of how far we have come. Our achievements. Do you think the explosion of wellbeing initiatives is a reaction to this? There is so much good news out there. But we are not telling those stories. We simply do not know about it. If you look at wellness as an example. There are so many people going on personal discovery journeys. Healing from the past. Finding ways to navigate the difficulties of day-to-day life. Changing and experimenting with new rituals and habits. And this should be celebrated. Front page news. I remember a time during the first lockdown where it felt that there was an overwhelming sense of togetherness. Kindness. Honesty. Coming together. And I believed for a moment that this was a turning point. It was in some ways. But it soon went back to the usual cycle of negativity. Negativity sells. So why would we do anything different? Because we need positivity to keep us in good health. Just as we do need some negativity. We cannot deny the terrible things that are happening. But there must be a balance.   So, let us share the good news. And celebrate all our achievements.

How does grief affect our bodies? Grief has massive impact on our mental, emotional and physical health. Take some time to read my newest blog post. https://lnkd.in/eTr359b8

Isn't it the case that we simply take many things far too seriously and take ourselves far too seriously in the process? But don't I always say we should take more care of ourselves and put ourselves first? What now? Yes self-care, belongs in the first place! The care for the physical and mental health, for a healthy relationship with myself is in the foreground. Only in this way can I shape and enjoy everyday life in a healthy way. But as often we take ourselves much too seriously, are in everyday life frantically trying to assert our head, to win, to be right, instead of calmly also times different opinions and approach. To let apply. The question is always, do I want to be right or do I want to be happy? Can I laugh at myself once in a while, when I am in the right mode again? Life would be easier if we didn't take ourselves so incredibly seriously here and there! This is also a form of self-care! Want to discover more serenity? Then get in touch with me!

In the midst of our fast-paced lives, with countless responsibilities and demands on our time and attention, it is easy to overlook the most important aspect - ourselves. We get caught up in thinking that self-care is a luxury and something that we should feel guilty about. We tell ourselves that we don’t have the time or energy for it because there are plenty of other things we think we need to be doing. However, taking time for self-care isn’t selfish; it’s a wise investment in our own physical, emotional and mental health. It is about acknowledging our own needs and restoring our own energy levels so that we can give our best to every aspect of life. So, as we head into September, try to make self-care a key part of your routine. Whether it’s a peaceful morning walk, reading a book, or simply enjoying a moment of stillness - find what lifts you up and make it a priority. If you’re feeling a bit stuck and don’t know where to start with self-care, get in touch to arrange a free discovery call to see how we can help. #selfcare #coachingforwellbeing #transformationalcoaching

Men’s Health Week 2024 As the years pass, we seem to promote the same mental health stories… and it’s true to say that there has been movement (but is that enough?) So this year I’m going to write about me, it’s rare, it’s not in my comfort zone but maybe it’ll be cathartic… maybe I’ll delete this before I pluck up the courage to hit post (but right now it’s being done in the way a ritual would be performed). I’m guilty of going against the grain of everything I preach, I’m guilty of it every day!Every day in passing, I am asked ‘how are you?’ And everyday I respond with what I think I should say/what I think people want to hear, I give a jovial greeting, crack a upbeat joke, smile and deflect probing questions to save me being honest. Does it help, probably not but it’s my routine now, I’m protecting myself! I’m a very private person, transparent as they come and would give you my last breath if we were in one of those shark movies surviving on one tank of air… but also self preservation and concern over the way people see me is always at the forefront of my mind. Something happened this year that rocked my world, shook everyone I love and gave a pretty firm explanation point to my life. That’s not my issue really, bad stuff happens to good people all the time but it became a thing. People were told, they found out, and not that I am ungrateful for their kindness and concern but I felt I had let myself down, weakened the way the world views me. My doctors asked how I was? My rehabilitation team asked if I was ok? The consultants asked if I was coping and every time I felt pressure to lie. I’d tell them I was fine even though I knew in private I cried every day, I wouldn’t look in the mirror as my scars made me hate my appearance and I lost all confidence. This isn’t a woe-be-post, it really isn’t. It’s me saying that I know what I do everyday, and I know that when the time is right I will ask for help… but on my terms. That day will inevitably come, the day I can’t lie anymore. So, for those who have committed this far , I want everyone out there to know that help is there. Whether it be an ear to listen or a shoulder to cry on, there are professionals that advise or friends that pour the wine and pass you the tissues! Or me, if you can’t face someone close then my DM’s are always open!! The first step is the hardest but also the most beneficial. Don’t be like me, don’t hide what you are going through… take that first step and the support you need will be there! And if someone reaches out, please spare the time. #menshealth #2024 #mentalhealth #support #talk #sodexo #beawareofthequietones
