Hey Folks!I'm all about celebrating wins! Please share something you recently achieved below so we can celebrate with you!Mine: I did a 6 mile hike this weekend in Ontario, in -3°C, and it felt amazing! One of the big impacts of COVID is the impact it's having on everyone's mental health. For example, a recent poll found that 50% of Canadians reported worsening mental health since the pandemic began with many feeling worried (44%) and anxious (41%).*Whether you're working towards getting a new job, growing in your career, learning a new skill, mental health is important and I'd love to help. I'm building HypeDocs (https://hypedocs.co) as a way to improve my own confidence, beat imposter syndrome and improve my mental health. I've been using these techniques for the last 3 years, and can already see a huge improvement on my mental health.Mental Health is a hard topic to discuss, and even harder to overcome without support. I'm hosting a free workshop where I share more about how to improve your mental health using one simple technique; tracking your wins. I believe that big or small, a win is a win and worth celebrating, but it's often hard to recognize when you've done something win-worthy.

I am all about wins! I started an initiative at work where every Friday we all have to share our wins (bonus if they aren't work-related!)I sprained my ankle pretty badly in October, and what I thought was a mild injury turned out to be pretty bad and I couldn't run for ~3 months - so sad! But I went back on my first run (7K) last week and I've never felt more alive, I can't get enough of it. I did 8K the other day at ~ -11°C and it was nothing but glorious.Thank you for bringing this topic up!

Love this!!! I actually broke my knee when I was younger and was stuck on a wheelchair for a few months. I remember how good it felt to be able to walk on my own so yayyyy that you're able to go on runs again! Also love that your team shares wins too! It's something I've made mandatory at the start of all our weekly team updated - we share a non-work related hype! Makes us all bond even though were remote and sets the mood of the meeting in a really positive way too :)
