Nutrition
Stating the obvious for dietitians, but I’m being very conscious of my diet, especially my
vegetable serves and fluid intake.
Mindfulness
Each morning I start the day by reading some affirmation cards from Kikki-K and doing
some mindfulness and breathing activities with the Headspace app. This sets up my day with
positive intentions.
Gratitude
We start each day as a DC team with a Zoom call where we check in with each other and
mention three things we are grateful for. You could try this with a colleague, mentor or family
member. Each night I complete The Resilience Project Gratitude Journal, which allows me to
think about who and what I am thankful for that day.
Psychologist and business coach
I have a predisposition to anxiety, so I am indebted to my psychologist and business coach who
keep me sane. I am meeting with them virtually (fortnightly with my coach and monthly with
my psychologist). I highly recommend having a professional in your corner to maintain your
mental health. Psychology has recently been added to the telehealth funding arrangements by
the Government, so it is more accessible than ever.
Learn more about how the DC team is navigating these uncertain times by
listening to our podcast (available on Stitcher or iTunes) or checking out
our YouTube channel. Keep the conversation going - tell us how you are
managing or what else you would like to hear from us via our Facebook
group or Instagram.
