👉🏻Accepting doesn’t mean we have to agree. Our values are the indicator.

Hear me out:

Acceptance is about understanding and recognizing others’ feelings and perspectives 💡, but it doesn’t mean compromising on our values 🌟 or tolerating harmful actions 🚫.

We can accept that someone is angry 😠 without tolerating harmful or aggressive behavior if we value safety in our relationships 🛡️.

We can accept someone’s opinion as their own while still holding onto our own beliefs 🎭 if we value authenticity and mutual respect 🙏.

We can also accept and celebrate 🎉 someone’s unique talents or cultural traditions 🌍, even if they differ from our own, if we value differences and a more inclusive environment 🌈.

Acceptance fosters empathy and understanding 🧡, allowing us to build stronger, more respectful relationships. By recognizing and honoring our values, we can navigate differences without compromising our integrity, promoting a harmonious and inclusive environment.

🍽️Eating healthy and regular meals in a quiet place at work helps your nervous system regulate and handle stress more efficiently.

Here are some things I’ve learned:

🧠Mindful Eating: Eating slowly and mindfully allows you to better enjoy your food and recognize your body’s hunger and fullness signals, which can prevent overeating.

💨Stress Reduction: A calm and quiet environment during meals can significantly lower your stress levels, helping you to stay more focused and relaxed throughout the day.

💩Enhanced Digestion: Eating in a relaxed state improves digestion and nutrient absorption, providing your body with the essential energy and nutrients it needs to function optimally.

🕐Regular Meals: Consuming balanced meals at regular intervals helps maintain stable blood sugar levels, reducing energy crashes and keeping your mood and performance steady.

Your body and mind deserve the same care and attention you give to your work.
Self-care at work isn’t a luxury; it’s a necessity for thriving.

👉🏻Guilt can weigh us down and prevent us from moving forward. When we dwell on our past mistakes, we often get trapped in a cycle of regret and self-blame.
🌱However, recognizing that mistakes are a natural part of life and knowing that we have the capacity to learn and grow from them can be incredibly empowering. Instead of allowing guilt to hold us back, we can use our experiences as stepping stones towards personal growth and resilience.

Shining a Light on Alcohol Abuse in HoReCa 🔦

It’s rarely discussed, but alcohol abuse is one of the main coping strategies in the HoReCa industry. Unfortunately, some of those in the field not only accept this but actively support it by providing free alcohol or offering it to staff at a discount. Some even disguise it as an “extra benefit.”

However, those who support these coping strategies may be doing so because they themselves struggle to manage stress, fatigue, and emotions in healthier ways. This doesn’t make it acceptable. By promoting alcohol as a coping mechanism, they perpetuate a culture that can lead to addiction, health issues, and a toxic work environment.

🌱It’s time to break this cycle. Leaders should be fostering environments that promote healthy coping mechanisms, such as providing access to mental health resources, encouraging open conversations about stress, and offering wellness programs. True leadership means setting a positive example and supporting staff in finding healthier ways to manage the pressures of the hospitality industry.

👉🏻In challenging times, our mindset can significantly impact our well-being. Expecting the worst often fuels anxiety, leaving us feeling overwhelmed and helpless.

🌱However, accepting that the worst can happen and believing in our ability to handle it shifts our perspective. This mindset fosters resilience and empowers us to face obstacles with confidence.

👉🏻Reflection Question: For what in this situation do I need to take responsibility❓

💡Example: If one of our colleagues is frequently late to work and we blame them for not being prepared in time, we lose our power, weaken our relationship with our teammate, remain underprepared, and become emotionally drained.

We could take accountability by setting boundaries. We could take our power back by asking for help from others. We could talk to our colleague and express how we feel about the situation with the intention of repairing and strengthening the relationship.

🌱By shifting from a victim mentality to a mindset of accountability, we open the door to personal growth, healthier relationships, and a more fulfilling life.

🌱In both personal and professional settings, it’s easy to fall into the trap of blaming others when things go wrong. However, this mindset keeps us stuck in a cycle of victimhood, limiting our potential and straining relationships. By taking responsibility for our actions and responses, we can reclaim our power, encourage personal growth, build trust, and strengthen our connections with others.
