"Today was a Difficult Day," said Pooh.
There was a pause.
"Do you want to talk about it?" asked Piglet.
"No," said Pooh after a bit. "No, I don't think I do."
"That's okay," said Piglet, and he came and sat beside his friend.
"What are you doing?" asked Pooh.
"Nothing, really," said Piglet. "Only, I know what Difficult Days are like. I quite often don't feel like talking about it on my Difficult Days either.
"But goodness," continued Piglet, "Difficult Days are so much easier when you know you've got someone there for you. And I'll always be here for you, Pooh."
And as Pooh sat there, working through in his head his Difficult Day, while the solid, reliable Piglet sat next to him quietly, swinging his little legs...he thought that his best friend had never been more right."

Love this one and shared it with my teams earlier this week ❤️
Just sharing this great graphic from @Sonia_Sparkles - it really spoke to me today & wanted to share with all my #NHS colleagues particularly my fab staff @uhltherapy: times are hard but at the end of the week I want you to go home today remembering the fantastic stuff you do 😊

You don’t have to follow the norm
You don’t have to conform
You don’t have to be what others want
You can be different & bold
You can break the robotic cycle
You can be curious, free & explore
Believe in yourself
Value your worth & your roots
Be true to what matters most 🐑

Back to back meetings don’t = increased productivity
⛔️ Stop creating culture that values it
⛔️ Block time with tasks you are doing
⛔️ Have shorter meetings
⛔️ Say no to meetings without purpose
⛔️ Ask can we talk another way
⛔️ Always put in your breaks
⛔️ Add when day ends

Are you getting enough rest?
Rest comes in different forms
Sleeping more is not enough
Many people who are stressed or burnt out can sleep more & not get any sense of recovery
Make sure you’re getting the right type of rest 🪫

Stop making assumptions or judging people based on salary, job title or education (or how they look!)
Judge based on actions, approach, behaviours and attitudes
People have many skills & can give so much more when you stop treating them as a label or putting them in a box🏷

Even when the tide is against you & the waves you’re tackling are high, keep on swimming and moving forward. Things will calm down again. Don’t give up. 🐠

Happy Birthday Sol, despite being sooo busy in your first week back as our lead TVN, we managed to stop for cake on Friday. Have a lovely day 🍰

Instead of trying to do more next year,
try to do less.
Work on being kind to yourself, saying no and focus your energy towards things that make you happy #NewYearResolution #NewYear

It’s that time of year when people start to think about a “new year, new start”
but I just want to say learn to love where you are at, be proud of what you’ve done & go into the new year just committing to be your authentic self. No added pressure, there’s enough of that already
