Begin With You: Invest in Your Mental Well-being and Satisfaction at Work

Product Information

A childless woman conceives in her old age; a fearful, self-conscious shepherd becomes a leader of millions; and a prostitute becomes a wife and mother in the lineage of Christ. However, if you feel uncomfortable while reading a particular story—especially if it is a story that closely resembles your own—it may be a good idea to pause your reading and process your feelings with a therapist or trusted friend. Each child feels very alone until they begin to share their stories and discover that it is nearly always possible to find someone a little like you.

Were it not so, when we sat down, we’d pass right through the chair (and the chair through us) and be sprawled on the floor.It’s not easy to take those first steps into a place where nobody really knows you yet, but somehow you do it. Thought it was a good read, absolutely made me challenge my own perceptions and it had some good advice.

What i got was an insight into Petra's own childhood, and how they navigagted their own mental health. Description: Productivity, collaboration, confidence, success - it all depends on a positive outlook and good mental wellbeing. Like Woodson’s memoir Brown Girl Dreaming, this story places great value on literacy, reading, and imagination. From self-assessment and time management to building a support network and becoming a mental health champion in the workplace, Begin With Youis the complete guide to transforming your life and career for the better.

My hope is that this book will answer those questions and make you more aware of the boundaries in your life—or lack thereof. In her signature keynote talk, Petra challenges companies to shift their focus and prioritise investment in human capital, wellbeing, and mental health. I understand I can change my preference through my account settings or unsubscribe directly from any marketing communications at any time. I find Petra's style of writing effortlessly easy to read and the book insightful and thought provoking. I read it on a beach, which I would highly recommend as a great place to reflect on the messages it has for you.

Full-bleed illustrations on every page are thick with collaged patterns and textures that pair perfectly with melodic prose that begs to be read aloud. I should also point out that there should be some prominent trigger warnings placed at the beginning of this book, particular around religious trauma; if this is something you find triggering there is quite detailed reference made to this topic.

All of these people have since emerged from those situations and now want to share what they have learned, which demonstrates how powerful building healthy boundaries can be.
