✨ This holiday season, keep promises to yourself and make your time off count. Prioritize activities that nourish your body and mind—whether it’s cooking a meal, taking a walk, or spending quality time with loved ones. Notice where your time might be going to activities that don’t bring joy or align with your goals, like endless scrolling on social media. Setting boundaries around these habits can create more space for meaningful personal time. Take this season as an opportunity to reflect on how you can prioritize your #MentalHealth and well-being: https://bit.ly/4gErV3g. 🧣 #WhyLyra #HappyHealthyHoliday

If you’re struggling this season, remember: ✨ You don’t have to force yourself to celebrate if it doesn’t feel right ✨ Avoid comparison to others who haven’t experienced similar loss ✨ Let trusted friends and loved ones know how they can support you ✨ Seek out support groups or mental health resources to help you This year, hold space for your grief and allow yourself the grace to experience the season in a way that feels authentic to you. 💙 Honor your emotions this holiday season: https://bit.ly/494RI1T. #WhyLyra #HappyHealthyHoliday

Great work and #MentalHealth go hand in hand. When employee well-being and thoughtful work design are priorities, burnout can be reduced and productivity boosted. 🙂🌱✨

Dealing with an upset customer, navigating #HighStress moments, or even feeling unsafe during an interaction—these situations can leave a lasting impact. But there are simple strategies you can use to manage stress in the moment. 
 🌬️ Breathe slowly to lower stress and think clearly ✋ Anchor with touch by holding a stress ball 🛑 Try the “STOP” technique: Stop, Observe, Take a step back, and Proceed thoughtfully 🗣️ Repeat a calming mantra like “I’m doing my best” or “Their anger isn’t about me" Remember, it’s just as important to recover afterward—whether that’s taking a walk or safely expressing your emotions. And when in doubt, prioritize your safety first. Manage tough #CustomerInteractions: https://bit.ly/41zNtJU.

✨ The holiday season can be magical, but it can also bring overwhelming expectations. This year, let’s embrace self-compassion by setting realistic goals that prioritize our well-being. You can’t do everything—and you don’t have to. Instead of chasing perfection, focus on what truly matters to you. By acknowledging your emotional and energy limits, you can find joy in the present moment. 🕯️❄️ Make this holiday season one of balance and intention with helpful tips for managing your #MentalHealth: https://bit.ly/40LEfI6. #WhyLyra #HappyHealthyHoliday

🗣️ #HealthyConflict can strengthen relationships when handled with care. Whether it's navigating differences in values, communication styles, or expectations, learning to "fight fair" is essential for growth and understanding. Ways to manage conflict: ✅ Setting ground rules, like no name-calling and taking breaks during heated moments. 🎯 Asking open-ended questions to better understand the other person's perspective. 🛑 Avoiding any toxic behaviors like criticism, defensiveness, stonewalling, or contempt. Conflict is normal—it’s how we address it that makes all the difference. Build stronger, healthier connections: https://bit.ly/3ZczmHK. #MentalHealth #WorkplaceWellness
