"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."

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 🐑

[Gill Devaney @DevaneyGill]

@UHLTVTeam Yes, she was such a kind soul and is missed in our team every day xx

[Gill Devaney @DevaneyGill]

Thinking about you Tammy today. Such a sad loss to us all. I had a chocolate Club biscuit in your memory. Xxx We miss you so much xxx

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

[✨Sonia Sparkles✨🖤 @Sonia_Sparkles]

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 🪫

[✨Sonia Sparkles✨🖤 @Sonia_Sparkles]

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🏷

[✨Sonia Sparkles✨🖤 @Sonia_Sparkles]

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 🍰

[✨Sonia Sparkles✨🖤 @Sonia_Sparkles]

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
