In times of sustained stress or change, we can lose touch with what energizes and inspires us. Taking intentional moments to reconnect with our sense of purpose and joy isn't just enjoyable—it's essential for sustainable service to others. Take a moment to consider: *When was the last time you felt truly energized by your work? *What elements were present in that moment? *How might you intentionally recreate those conditions this week? Sometimes the most powerful insights come from pausing to listen to our own experience. #Reflection #ProfessionalGrowth #SelfCare #MentalHealth

Creating psychological safety isn't a one-time achievement—it's cultivated in daily interactions. Leaders, try opening your next team meeting with these two questions: "What's one small win you'd like to celebrate today, and what's one area in which you could use our support?" This invitation helps team members connect with their impact while modeling collaborative team practices. #TeamWellness #TraumaInformedLeadership #WorkplaceCulture #ProfessionalDevelopment

The power of micro-moments lies in their accessibility. Even in your busiest days supporting others, you can find 60 seconds to reset: Place your hand on your heart Take 3 deliberate breaths Name one thing you're grateful for This simple practice will not erase everything you're navigating, but it will activate your parasympathetic nervous system, helping you return to your work with renewed presence. #WellbeingAtWork #MentalHealthAwareness #EducatorWellness #TraumaInformed

Several weeks after crises begin is often when cumulative fatigue starts to surface. As leaders you can consider: How might you create sustainable rhythms that honor both recovery needs and ongoing responsibilities? Sometimes this means adjusting expectations, redistributing workloads, or simply acknowledging that everyone's capacity may fluctuate. Small adjustments now can prevent burnout later. #LeadershipSupport #WorkplaceMentalHealth #SustainableLeadership

In the weeks following a crisis, we often see a natural ebb and flow of energy and emotion. If you're noticing delayed stress responses in yourself or your team, this is completely normal. Recovery isn't linear—it's okay to still be processing while moving forward. Los Angeles, what's sustaining you during this time? Share a practice that's helping you or your team navigate this period of adjustment. #CommunityResilience #LARecovery #WellbeingPractices

In times of crisis, it is common to put our own needs last. But as we navigate the ongoing wildfires and other challenges, prioritizing our well-being is essential—for ourselves and for those we support. We’d like to invite to pause and take a moment for yourself. Even small, intentional steps can help you and your team find moments of calm and connection during this challenging time. Here are a few suggestions to consider: **Pause and breathe: Set aside even 2 minutes to take deep breaths and ground yourself. **Check in with your people: Create space for connection and support during meetings and transitions.?? **Limit exposure to distressing news: Stay informed, but take breaks when needed to protect your mental health. **Acknowledge your emotions: It’s okay to feel overwhelmed. Share with trusted colleagues or friends. These small practices can make a big difference. Together, we can navigate this time with care and compassion.

As the year comes to a close, we invite you to pause and reflect: What challenges have you overcome this year? Who supported you through them? Now, imagine working with youth navigating immense challenges of their own. Think about the educators and service providers who show up every day to support them. Who is supporting them? At A Thousand Joys, we ensure these professionals aren’t navigating the stresses of their work alone. Through training, resources, and a focus on wellbeing, we equip them to counteract trauma, cultivate resilience, and build stronger communities. This important work needs your support. Give today to empower those who empower others: https://lnkd.in/gu9DKNKJ Together, we can create a brighter future for youth, families, and the professionals who serve them. #YearEndGiving #SupportEducators #Nonprofit
