Ep 26 - What's your Wellbeing plan, with Paul McGregor

Today’s topic was inspired by two things that happened on the morning of recording this episode. First, our original guest opened up about not being up to the recording session. Life was just too much at that moment. Second, I was reading this fantastic report called Wellbeing Inspires Well-doing. The report looks at how changemakers’ inner wellbeing influences their work. These two small things made me realise how important it is to look after your own wellbeing, especially if you are hoping to serve others. In short, if the oxygen mask pops down, make sure you put your own one on before you start helping other people. It can be really easy to put other people's needs ahead of our own. Even more so now that we find ourselves in lockdown, possibly alongside family and loved ones. So, if that sounds like something you can relate to, today's episode is for you. In today’s episode you’ll learn: Why it’s important to put ‘protection barriers’ in place for our own wellbeing Six practices that makes navigating complexity easier How pausing and doing something for yourself can help you better serve others Resources mentioned in this episode Download a Wellbeing Plan template If you need a wellbeing coach, we recommend https://www.tuiwilliams.com/ or https://www.intentionalgenerations.com/ Wellbeing Inspires Welldoing report Tips on killing stress by Alicia McKay Personal Practices for Navigating Complexity - article by Business Lab Sign up for the Movement Makers newsletter Sign up to our fortnightly newsletter and get the insights, tools and powerful whakaaro from people transforming the collaboration space.
