Friends, we’re continuing our conversations on workplace toxicity.

Even though I’m no stranger to what happens inside companies, some of the stories I’ve heard have left me stunned.

The level of violence being tolerated in workplaces—despite national laws and company policies—is alarming.

The destructive trail it leaves is undeniable: broken confidence, mental and emotional scars, careers cut short, and organizations bleeding talent, trust, and productivity.

Toxicity doesn’t just wound individuals—it corrodes entire companies from within.

If you’ve experienced this, know this: you are not alone. Your story matters, and sharing it can bring both healing and change.

I invite you to reach out, add your voice, and be part of this conversation. Together, we can shed light on what’s too often hidden in the shadows.

Weekly Exercise
Friends, mental fitness is a long game. Let us build habits that nurture our total well-being.

Take time to do this exercise at least once a week.

Ask yourself:
- what am I not saying no to?
- what is the impact on me for not saying no?
- what is the belief behind my not being able to say no?
- what am I not saying yes to?

Let us know how you do.

This week at Mentally Fit, we’re focusing on resilience.

Resilience is not about “toughing it out” or pretending everything is fine. True resilience is about adapting, recovering, and finding new strength when life feels overwhelming.

Think of it like this: stress is the storm, resilience is the anchor that keeps you steady until the skies clear.

Research shows resilience is built through:

✔️Supportive relationships
✔️Healthy routines and self-care
✔️Reframing challenges as opportunities to grow

As we begin this week, ask yourself, "where in my life do I want to build more resilience?"

Weekends can sometimes feel like catch-up time, but your mind and body also need space to breathe.

Stress often lingers — whether from health worries, financial strain, or emotional load — unless we actively create moments of release.

Today, give yourself permission to slow down. Even a few minutes of quiet, movement, or laughter can reset your nervous system.

What’s one small thing you’ll do today to bring yourself a little peace? Your idea might inspire someone else here.

Not all stress is visible. Hidden triggers like unclear roles, constant emails, or workplace politics can silently drain your energy.

Tip: Identity one specific stress trigger this week and track how it affects your mood and performance.

Let's disrupt the normalisation of stress.

“Everyone’s busy.”
“Pressure builds character.”
“Sleep is overrated if you want to succeed.”

🚫 That is not normal.
🚫 That is not healthy.
🚫 That is not inevitable.

Stress is a signal from your mind and body saying: something is not working. It’s your inner system asking for care, boundaries, and sanity.

Imagine a world where work and relationships didn’t have to cost your peace of mind. Where saying “I need a break” was respected, not questioned. That’s the humane way forward.

Today, notice one area in your work or relationships where stress has been normalised. How could you respond differently — with care, not compulsion?

Stress at work is not just “part of the job.” It’s a toxic norm that has real consequences.

📊 Research from the World Health Organization shows that stress and burnout cost the global economy over $1 trillion every year in lost productivity.

Here in South Africa, 1 in 4 employees experience symptoms of depression, anxiety, or stress-related conditions.

Much of this is not because of the workload itself but because of toxic workplace dynamics:

* Fear-based leadership
* Gossip and exclusion
* Unrealistic expectations
* Lack of psychological safety

Toxicity is harmful to people and unsustainable for organisations.

As this moment, pause and ask yourself:

- Am I working in a space that normalises stress?
- What is it costing my health, relationships, and performance?
