4 Cs to C-ease

Share this Article

Workplace mental health is this year’s WMHD theme.

Within Liferoute, there is Caring on Campus. It’s an initiative to tackle mental health issues in higher education – where staff and students are both affected.

Its approach is based on first principles rather than ‘off-the-shelf’ fixes. And, importantly, the only major outlay is your time commitment.

It is an inside-out approach, that first challenges your beliefs and the patterns of attitudes and ways of doing things that then develop.

For instance: here are 4 Cs where, if you C-ease them, it will immediately help turn around the juggernaut that is poor mental health.

1. Comparing
See yourself as a leader – someone who inspires by example. Leaders only look forward, not sideways. You can’t empower yourself if you spend your time comparing.

2. Complaining
What is bigger, you or the situation? It’s a law of life – nothing comes to us that we don’t have the ability within us to face and conquer.

3. Criticising
Treat the inner critic as an imposter. Even an outer critic eventually turns the knife inwards towards themselves.
Convert ‘wrong’ to ‘accepting, learning and growing’.

4. Competing
Winning and losing is short-termism: two polarities that needn’t exist.
Keep showing up whilst only using your own values as your GPS.
