Quotes of the day 'You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose. You're on your own. And you know what you know. And you are the guy who'll decide where to go.' Dr Zeus 'Attitude is a little thing that makes a big difference.' Winston Churchill It does not take much to think of a new idea: whether it is an idea for something creative or for your to-do list or for work or for a new entrepreneur career move; we all get them: so with a little bit of attitude as the great man states in the above quote that will start off the process of belief in one's self . But do not let that idea or event lapse, stick with it, persevere with it and motivate yourself to spend some time on it every day. Self motivation is the key to everything in your day-to-day work or home life. Without it, it can be the cause of many things that trust me you do not want temporarily or permanently. So wake up with energy or do some exercise or put on your favorite up beat music that will lift your mood, and think Monday motivation. Thoughts for the team leaders or managers among you Monday team time is a great way to get your team motivated for the working week ahead. Talk about the weekend, what they did and what they didn't do, but most of all get the team to brain storm some ideas for the week ahead: get them thinking for you as a manager and that will not only help you but allow them to be creative for the company and themselves, making them to feel more involved in your company. Until next week Team Wellness Solutions Will bring fun team building workshops to your place of work or to a venue of your choosing; these workshops will boost your teams wellbeing with fun and highly motivated games and activities that will boost the teams moral and team spirit.

'The ratio of We's to I's is the best indicator of the development of a team.' Lewis B. Ergen

Quotes of the day 'Exercise is the key not only to physical health but to peace of mind.' Nelson Mandela 'I've run my whole life for more than exercise, for mental health.' Wendelin Van Draanen Getting exercise into the workplace is difficult to do; encouraging exercise in the workplace is easy to do and to achieve it, can be difficult in certain circumstances. Wellbeing is one word in the current workplace that is being used more and more and can be a huge talking point in some circles. Workplace wellbeing, mental wellbeing, health and wellbeing - you will hear them all at some point but all are a much of a muchness. They all mean a way to get you, the employee and all of the workforce to be in a much better state of mind and body. Thoughts for the team leaders and managers among you Mental wellbeing can be encouraged by having the team take a few five minute rest breaks during the day where the team can have a quiet five minutes to themselves just to relax and reset. Health and wellbeing can be encouraged by the seniority to join a gym, take a yoga class before or after work, or to go for a walk for twenty minutes in their lunch breaks. And workplace wellbeing can be covered by simply introducing team building to the team. Until next week One question to ponder for the week ahead. Could I improve my health and doing so would this improve my mental health, and having improved my mental health, could I then impart that onto my team colleagues and improve their mental health. Food for thought. Happy Wednesday. Team Wellness Solutions Run workplace wellbeing workshops which can be brought to your place of work or to a venue of your choosing. These fun workshops bridge the gap between workplace wellbeing and health and wellbeing. For more information please click onto the website link below. Matt

Quotes of the day Where can you look in your daily life and find ways to do it better, to be more thoughtful of the earth, to be more thoughtful of people. Julia Butterfly Hill This is the power of gathering: it inspires us, delightfully, to be more hopeful, more joyful, more thoughtful, in a word, more alive. Alice Waters Two wonderful thoughtful quotes to start your Thursday with. To have a great team, you need great people. The great people need to work together well; to be able to do great work, to acheive great things, to be able to better themselves, and build better working relationships. This is called Teamwork. Go to work in the morning with the two quotes mentioned above swirling around in your head. Try in your working day to find ways for you and your team to gather and to find ways to be more thoughtful of each other. As the second quote says, it's the power of gathering that will help you build better relationships and working relationships and then with hope, happiness and through getting to know your team colleagues better, teamwork and great teamwork will start to show itself.

Quotes of the day 'Everyday may not be good... but there's something good in every day.' Alice Morse Earle 'Yesterday is not ours to recover, but tomorrow is ours to win or lose.' Lyndon B. Johnson Two wonderful punchy little quotes to set you off in a good mood for the weekend ahead which hopefully will be a lovely weekend. Yesterday or today may not have been good days for you personally at work or in your social life but as the top quote says there is something good in everyday. Even if it does not spring to mind straight away, there will be something that will lighten the day. Look for it; as it will no doubt cheer you up. Today, plan for it, at work or something for the evening or weekend ahead. As Lyndon B. Johnson alludes to; if yesterday has been a bad day for whatever reason, tomorrow is ours to recover, to get over, to overcome the stress of the day before, and the weekend is the best time to do just that.
