Too often we focus on the big things; completing a project, meeting a deadline, losing 5kg or restarting in a new career that we forget the value and impact the small things in our day-to-day life make in working towards achieving and succeeding.
When we stop or skip on the small things over time we start to feel the impact; low energy, lack of focus, indecisiveness, overwhelm, no motivation, negative self-talk, low mood and loss of confidence.
Use the wellbeing essentials list below as a self check-in.
