50
00:02:05,433 --> 00:02:07,741

66
00:02:46,692 --> 00:02:49,082

67
00:02:49,082 --> 00:02:49,799

can take a toll on mental health, leading

74
00:03:04,495 --> 00:03:05,133

00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:10,418
negative consequences.

00:03:13,437 --> 00:03:15,290

80
00:03:15,665 --> 00:03:19,181

00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:25,059
mental health is essential for overall wellness,

83
00:03:25,695 --> 00:03:26,886
including our oral health,

84
00:03:27,459 --> 00:03:29,217
Just as a general dentist, I treat a

85
00:03:29,217 --> 00:03:32,494
lot of issues stemming from chronic stress such

86
00:03:32,494 --> 00:03:35,770

95
00:03:53,423 --> 00:03:56,171
holistically what it does to our bodies, our

96
00:03:56,229 --> 00:03:57,025
internal organs.

97
00:03:57,663 --> 00:04:00,293
We get those ulcers, those stomach ulcers.

Mouth ulcers as well.

99
00:04:02,698 --> 00:04:05,264

00:05:40,948 --> 00:05:43,015
Alright. Let's go into some strategies for coping

140
00:05:43,015 --> 00:05:44,208
with work related stress.

141
00:05:44,923 --> 00:05:46,354
I have... Let's see. I think I'm gonna

142
00:05:46,354 --> 00:05:48,341
offer 5 for you for today.

143
00:05:49,150 --> 00:05:50,919
Number 1 is mindfulness practices,

144
00:05:51,846 --> 00:05:55,097
incorporate mindfulness techniques such as meditation that I

145
00:05:55,097 --> 00:05:57,255
always speak up on this channel, and deep

146
00:05:57,255 --> 00:06:00,595
breathing exercises to reduce your stress and increase

147
00:06:00,595 --> 00:06:01,333
your focus

148
00:06:01,946 --> 00:06:04,036
for the second 1 time management,

149
00:06:04,729 --> 00:06:06,001
prior to tasks,

150
00:06:06,652 --> 00:06:09,913
set realistic deadlines and take regular breaks to

151
00:06:09,913 --> 00:06:10,709
avoid burnout,

152
00:06:11,266 --> 00:06:14,788
use tools like to do lists and planners

153
00:06:15,019 --> 00:06:16,000
to stay organized.

154
00:06:16,699 --> 00:06:19,279
The third 1 I have for you, physical

155
00:06:19,500 --> 00:06:19,899
activity,

156
00:06:20,699 --> 00:06:23,919
engage in regular physical activity to release endo

157
00:06:24,074 --> 00:06:27,408
and improve mood, even short walks during breaks

158
00:06:27,408 --> 00:06:28,464
can make a difference.

159
00:06:29,472 --> 00:06:31,854
And then the fourth strategy for coping with

160
00:06:31,854 --> 00:06:32,807
work related stress,

161
00:06:33,379 --> 00:06:34,358
health boundaries.

162
00:06:35,295 --> 00:06:36,513
Set clear boundaries

163
00:06:36,892 --> 00:06:39,446
between work and your personal life. This is

164
00:06:39,446 --> 00:06:40,085
very important.

165
00:06:40,644 --> 00:06:43,694
Avoid checking emails after hours, and make time

166
00:06:43,694 --> 00:06:46,995
for relaxation in hobbies. You just don't compromise

167
00:06:47,055 --> 00:06:50,175
on that. Okay? Please don't. And number 5,

168
00:06:50,495 --> 00:06:51,214
seek support.

169
00:06:51,788 --> 00:06:53,697
Do not hesitate to reach out to your

170
00:06:53,697 --> 00:06:56,981
colleagues, your friends, family members, or mental health

171
00:06:57,038 --> 00:06:57,992
professionals for support,

172
00:06:58,724 --> 00:07:01,601
sharing your concerns can provide relief and new

173
00:07:01,601 --> 00:07:02,080
perspectives.

174
00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:05,197
And then we're gonna go ahead right on

175
00:07:05,197 --> 00:07:06,895
into managing work life balance

176
00:07:07,368 --> 00:07:09,834
achieving a healthy work life balance is essential

177
00:07:09,834 --> 00:07:12,221
for mental health. I have some tips to

178
00:07:12,221 --> 00:07:13,255
help you manage both.

179
00:07:13,971 --> 00:07:15,665
Number 1, you wanna set priorities.

180
00:07:17,014 --> 00:07:19,814
Identify your most important tasks and focus on

181
00:07:19,814 --> 00:07:20,774
completing them first,

182
00:07:21,334 --> 00:07:24,555
delegate tasks when possible just to avoid feeling

183
00:07:24,774 --> 00:07:25,095
overwhelmed.

184
00:07:25,590 --> 00:07:27,670
The second tip I have for you is

185
00:07:27,670 --> 00:07:28,629
create a schedule,

186
00:07:29,189 --> 00:07:31,509
develop a daily routine that includes time for

187
00:07:31,509 --> 00:07:31,750
work,

188
00:07:32,470 --> 00:07:35,202
family and self care. I'm a stress that

189
00:07:35,202 --> 00:07:37,835
self care, stick to your schedule to ensure

190
00:07:37,835 --> 00:07:40,149
you have time for all aspects of your

191
00:07:40,149 --> 00:07:40,388
life.

192
00:07:41,027 --> 00:07:43,272
And then third, learned to say no. You've

193
00:07:43,272 --> 00:07:45,364
heard me say this before on this channel

194
00:07:45,421 --> 00:07:47,092
here you on this 3 65.

195
00:07:47,410 --> 00:07:50,694
A avoid over committing by saying no to

196
00:07:50,694 --> 00:07:52,615
additional tasks that you cannot manage.

197
00:07:53,175 --> 00:07:54,954
Focus on your existing responsibilities

198
00:07:55,334 --> 00:07:56,235
and commitments.

199
00:07:56,949 --> 00:07:59,895
Number 4, take time off. I had to

200
00:07:59,895 --> 00:08:01,885
learn this 1. Running a practice,

201
00:08:02,363 --> 00:08:04,115
I really did. Sometimes I would put that

202
00:08:04,115 --> 00:08:04,853
as a priority.

203
00:08:05,324 --> 00:08:07,583
Like, I drive myself. I have to be

204
00:08:07,642 --> 00:08:09,480
there for my patience. I have to be

205
00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:11,638
there because my staff works. I don't wanna

206
00:08:11,638 --> 00:08:15,089
take off, so considering their time off but

207
00:08:15,089 --> 00:08:17,410
now I've learned to take time off because

208
00:08:17,410 --> 00:08:19,889
that includes my self care, and it does

209
00:08:19,889 --> 00:08:22,769
protect my mental health. So use your vacation

210
00:08:22,769 --> 00:08:25,653
date and take regular breaks to recharge. Time

211
00:08:25,653 --> 00:08:28,600
away from work is crucial for maintaining mental

212
00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:28,919
health.

213
00:08:29,635 --> 00:08:30,432
And number 5,

214
00:08:31,228 --> 00:08:31,627
unplug.

215
00:08:32,995 --> 00:08:35,701
Disconnect from work related devices during on work

216
00:08:35,701 --> 00:08:36,019
hours,

217
00:08:36,656 --> 00:08:39,362
allow yourself to be fully present with your

218
00:08:39,362 --> 00:08:39,681
family,

219
00:08:40,174 --> 00:08:42,888
your friends, and even when you're giving yourself

220
00:08:42,888 --> 00:08:45,862
some time of self care, try not to

221
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:48,529
on those devices, just take a little moment

222
00:08:48,649 --> 00:08:51,430
to relax, take a breather, take a step

223
00:08:51,430 --> 00:08:53,178
back from those devices.

224
00:08:53,814 --> 00:08:56,357
Balancing work and personal life can lead to

225
00:08:56,357 --> 00:08:57,096
increase satisfaction

226
00:08:57,724 --> 00:08:59,955
and will reduce stress. Okay?

227
00:09:00,752 --> 00:09:03,222
Alright. Now I wanna go into advocating for

228
00:09:03,222 --> 00:09:04,816
a healthier work environment,

229
00:09:05,387 --> 00:09:07,927
This is for my leaders out there. Okay.

230
00:09:08,245 --> 00:09:10,626
Those who are in the leadership position, those

231
00:09:10,626 --> 00:09:13,722
who are owners, the entrepreneur, such as myself,

232
00:09:14,213 --> 00:09:15,168
I run a practice,

233
00:09:15,566 --> 00:09:17,236
and I am the owner of the practice.

234
00:09:17,475 --> 00:09:19,804
So I wanted to share these tips

235
00:09:20,179 --> 00:09:20,679
for

236
00:09:21,149 --> 00:09:24,006
the entrepreneurs, the leaders, people who are in

237
00:09:24,006 --> 00:09:24,403
charge.

238
00:09:24,879 --> 00:09:27,364
So here we go with this. When you're

239
00:09:27,895 --> 00:09:29,721
advocating for a healthier work environment,

240
00:09:30,134 --> 00:09:30,794
It benefits

241
00:09:31,253 --> 00:09:33,410
everyone. So here are some ways to promote

242
00:09:33,410 --> 00:09:36,286
mental health awareness at work for the leaders.

243
00:09:36,845 --> 00:09:40,399
Alright. For 1 open communication, fostering open dialogue

244
00:09:40,459 --> 00:09:42,939
about mental health and encourage employees to share

245
00:09:42,939 --> 00:09:44,860
their experiences and challenges.

246
00:09:45,513 --> 00:09:48,215
And then, of course, training and education, provide

247
00:09:48,215 --> 00:09:49,589
training or stress management,

248
00:09:50,121 --> 00:09:53,300
resilience, and mindfulness to help employees develop coping

249
00:09:53,300 --> 00:09:53,618
skills.

250
00:09:54,428 --> 00:09:56,125
Number 3, supportive policies,

251
00:09:56,821 --> 00:09:59,693
implement policies that promote work life balance, such

252
00:09:59,693 --> 00:10:02,883
as flexible working hours, remote work options and

253
00:10:02,883 --> 00:10:03,840
mental health days.

254
00:10:04,808 --> 00:10:05,364
Number 4,

255
00:10:05,999 --> 00:10:06,499
employee

256
00:10:06,872 --> 00:10:08,007
assistance programs.

257
00:10:08,698 --> 00:10:11,420
This offers access to mental health resources

258
00:10:11,887 --> 00:10:14,660
such as counseling service and support groups.

259
00:10:15,214 --> 00:10:16,190
And then the fifth

260
00:10:17,354 --> 00:10:18,621
consideration is lead by example.

261
00:10:19,113 --> 00:10:22,399
Managers and leadership model healthy behaviors and prioritize

262
00:10:22,535 --> 00:10:24,605
their own mental health to create a culture

263
00:10:24,605 --> 00:10:26,849
of well being. And all of these This

264
00:10:26,849 --> 00:10:28,685
is when I do. I'd Put that time

265
00:10:28,685 --> 00:10:31,239
in to have time off. I alert my

266
00:10:31,239 --> 00:10:33,394
staff. If you wanna go temp and work

267
00:10:33,394 --> 00:10:35,230
on the days we have off you certainly

268
00:10:35,230 --> 00:10:37,001
may. But a lot of my staff are

269
00:10:37,001 --> 00:10:38,996
very wise, they say no when you're close,

270
00:10:39,155 --> 00:10:41,469
we're gonna be off and enjoying our family

271
00:10:41,469 --> 00:10:42,985
and having some self care time.

272
00:10:43,718 --> 00:10:45,551
So by advocating for these changes,

273
00:10:46,029 --> 00:10:47,725
you as the leader of managers,

274
00:10:48,500 --> 00:10:50,992
higher up executives of your companies

275
00:10:51,383 --> 00:10:53,528
you can contribute to a healthier and more

276
00:10:53,528 --> 00:10:56,230
supportive workplace. And for those of you who

277
00:10:56,230 --> 00:10:58,137
are employees or employers,

278
00:10:58,534 --> 00:10:59,908
I'd love to hear from you

279
00:11:00,378 --> 00:11:03,483

280
00:11:03,483 --> 00:11:06,111

00:11:06,111 --> 00:11:07,465

282
00:11:07,465 --> 00:11:09,389

Alright. I look forward to those comments.

285
00:11:14,869 --> 00:11:16,855
Now I would like to drop an inspirational

286
00:11:16,855 --> 00:11:17,887
quote to reflect on,

287
00:11:18,696 --> 00:11:21,101
you don't have to see the whole staircase

288
00:11:21,394 --> 00:11:23,457
just take the first step. That is why

289
00:11:23,537 --> 00:11:25,838
Martin luther King jr. I'm gonna say that

290
00:11:25,838 --> 00:11:28,555
quote once more. You don't have to see

291
00:11:28,555 --> 00:11:31,260
the whole staircase case. Just take the first

292
00:11:31,260 --> 00:11:31,498
step.

293
00:11:32,214 --> 00:11:33,907
Martin Luther King junior

294
00:11:34,299 --> 00:11:36,379
Alright, Friends. I'm just stopping by today to

295
00:11:36,379 --> 00:11:38,299
encourage you to take the first step towards

296
00:11:38,299 --> 00:11:39,740
improving your mental health at work,

297
00:11:40,460 --> 00:11:42,794
implement 1 of the strategies at least. That

298
00:11:42,954 --> 00:11:45,511
I've discussed and notice how it impacts your

299
00:11:45,511 --> 00:11:45,991
well being.

300
00:11:46,630 --> 00:11:48,628
Let's work together to create a healthier and

301
00:11:48,628 --> 00:11:50,247
more supportive work environment.

302
00:11:50,946 --> 00:11:53,354
So thank you for listening in on that.

303
00:11:53,514 --> 00:11:56,141
I wanna go right into our journal segment

304
00:11:56,141 --> 00:11:58,212
for today. This is where I invite you

305
00:11:58,212 --> 00:12:00,203
to take some time for intros inspection and

306
00:12:00,203 --> 00:12:00,601
journal.

307
00:12:01,173 --> 00:12:03,821
Just by reflecting on your experiences and strategies,

308
00:12:04,196 --> 00:12:07,321
this can provide valuable insights and inspire positive

309
00:12:07,378 --> 00:12:07,616
change.

310
00:12:08,188 --> 00:12:10,019
I have 3 engaging prompts to get you

311
00:12:10,019 --> 00:12:12,327
started. Always feel free to pause the podcast

312
00:12:12,327 --> 00:12:14,476
to give yourself some extra time to write.

313
00:12:15,033 --> 00:12:16,864
And with that, let's dive into our prop

314
00:12:16,864 --> 00:12:17,421
number 1.

315
00:12:18,154 --> 00:12:19,590
Assessing your work life balance,

316
00:12:20,149 --> 00:12:22,065
Think about your current work life balance.

317
00:12:22,544 --> 00:12:25,040
How well are you managing your responsibilities

318
00:12:25,418 --> 00:12:26,455
at work and home?

319
00:12:27,268 --> 00:12:28,944
Now pick the pin up and write about

320
00:12:28,944 --> 00:12:31,817
any challenges you face and what changes you'd

321
00:12:31,817 --> 00:12:32,456
like to make.

322
00:12:33,573 --> 00:12:36,640
Then prompt number 2, stress management strategies.

323
00:12:37,017 --> 00:12:38,532
For this, I want you to consider the

324
00:12:38,532 --> 00:12:41,083
strategies you used to manage stress at work.

325
00:12:41,561 --> 00:12:44,601
What techniques have been effective? And which ones

326
00:12:44,601 --> 00:12:45,657
need improvement.

327
00:12:46,507 --> 00:12:49,841
Now, right about your stress management strategies and

328
00:12:49,841 --> 00:12:51,905
any new methods you would like to try.

329
00:12:52,954 --> 00:12:54,947
And then for the final prompt, this is

330
00:12:54,947 --> 00:12:56,701
about advocating for mental health.

331
00:12:57,419 --> 00:12:58,775
I want you to reflect on how you

332
00:12:58,775 --> 00:13:01,486
can advocate for mental health awareness in your

333
00:13:01,486 --> 00:13:04,045
workplace. Whether you're are the leader or whether

334
00:13:04,045 --> 00:13:05,101
you are the

335
00:13:05,475 --> 00:13:05,951
employee.

336
00:13:06,508 --> 00:13:08,970
I want you to think about what steps

337
00:13:08,970 --> 00:13:11,292
you can take to create a supportive environment

338
00:13:11,292 --> 00:13:13,121
for your yourself and your colleagues,

339
00:13:13,837 --> 00:13:15,746
and now put pen to paper and write

340
00:13:15,746 --> 00:13:18,639
about your plan for promoting mental health at

341
00:13:18,639 --> 00:13:18,960
work.

342
00:13:19,519 --> 00:13:22,879
This is a very, very serious and important

343
00:13:22,879 --> 00:13:23,279
topic.

344
00:13:24,092 --> 00:13:26,638
With that, that's gonna conclude our journal. For

00:13:26,638 --> 00:13:28,467

00:13:28,467 --> 00:13:30,376

00:13:33,416 --> 00:13:35,884
to a more fulfilling and balanced life. So

349
00:13:36,043 --> 00:13:37,794
I hope these prompts have helped you gain

350
00:13:37,794 --> 00:13:38,533
some clarity

351
00:13:38,843 --> 00:13:41,300
and motivation to navigate workplace challenges.

352
00:13:42,093 --> 00:13:44,233
