This is Part 1 of the 3-Part Series of Self-Care at Work. Together we will cover the subject of self-awareness and how being more self-aware of your personal needs can significantly impact your professional well-being.

How often do you genuinely pay attention to yourself, become aware of your personal needs for your well-being, and then apply this knowledge intentionally in planning out your day? Whew, it can all sound like a lot and it can seem so much easier to go on auto-pilot living out each day and just doing the best you can.

If you are tired of hoping for the best but receiving the worst....

Going to work happy and leaving miserable....

Or feeling like you have no control of your work life and suffering in the process...

It may be time to train yourself to be more self-aware and become more self-fulfilled in the process. Tune in and learn how.

How exactly do you handle disrespectful behavior at work?

Despite all the rules of conduct that may be outlined in the company handbook, somehow there were no rules of engagement on the snide remark, rolling eyes, and not-so-subtle sarcasm cast in your direction again and again and again. Sometimes the stakes get even higher and you almost forget that you are at work at all.

Let's examine this tense and uncomfortable conflict at work that unfortunately happens more times than we would like to think about. Be prepared for your next off-encounter with a few tools to set a new standard of expectation for how you engage with others at work.

When you finally get that promotion you have been lusting for it can be an amazing experience! But what happens when after you get the job, you realize the promotion was the perfectly worst decision you have ever made??!!

When you find yourself in a bad job, it can feel miserable. But when you know that you worked hard to get this particular job and it turns out miserable, it can feel catastrophic! What do you do from here???

Even in the most bleakest of moments, there is always a way. A way to regain calm, refocus thought and intention, and put yourself back on track of the career path that you really want. Let's take on a new perspective when you are faced with what could seem as an impenetrable block from moving forward.
