DECEMBER
Kindness and Tolerance
The holidays can be stressful, and heightened tensions—whether personal or societal—can make it harder to stay grounded. As Lora McCarville reminded us in her talk on community, true connection means embracing differences, not just aligning with those who think and believe as we do.
Holding onto anger is like swallowing poison and expecting someone else to suffer. Practicing tolerance doesn’t mean agreeing with others; it means approaching differences with respect. A simple practice: when you feel frustration rising, pause. Take three deep breaths and silently ask yourself, What might this person be experiencing that I don’t see?
Start by being kind to yourself—set boundaries, rest, and give yourself grace. Kindness begins within, and when we care for ourselves, it’s easier to approach others with patience and understanding. Let’s end the year with tolerance and compassion as our guide.
Put your lunch-and-learn knowledge to the test! You have until 12/31/24 to participate, and all who do are entered into a drawing for a $50 Visa gift card!
CEO Doug Albregts introduces Gold Standard Well-being and answers a
question we all should consider: “What does well-being mean to you?”
We recognize how difficult it is to prioritize your well-being when work requires you to be in the car or traveling from place to place. In an effort to support your desire to live well alongside your professional lifestyle, we’ve put together Marco on the Move – a hub for all things wellness on-the-go.
