Discovering the impact of social pain. 

We are working with many clients totally committed to supporting the wellbeing of their teams, and doing their best to enable a culture that provides emotional support to both women and men, yet there is still an extortionate amount of social pain (e.g. isolation, fear, disconnection, lack of influence, feeling misunderstood and not heard) impacting all the obvious metrics around absenteeism, presenteeism and work related stress. 

Mental Health First Aid is a great initiative, but is not even touching the sides in some organisations. 
 

How blame keeps us safe but also keeps us stuck. 

In a recent Rising Vibrational Scale survey, we gathered feedback around emotional wellbeing. We asked people to share with us the range of emotions that they have been experiencing, using the scale as a guide. In addition to this we asked them to tell us what would help them to feel better. 85% of people shared that they needed something outside of their control to change, so that they could feel better. Only 15% focused on how they could manage their emotions to help them feel better. 

This reinforces our belief that we prefer to blame things outside of us when we don’t feel good. Of course we can be negatively impacted by external situations, events and other people, but blaming them is one sure way to remain stuck. Taking responsibility for our own contribution to any given situation is the only way to REALLY feel better.

How do we start the conversation about this subject in the most helpful way? 

Rising Vibe delivered their first Conversation That Matters event in September 2021 exploring race in the workplace. Check out this fantastic panel conversation with 3 Senior Leaders and Founder Lou Carter. What are the 'stupid' questions?

Regret isn’t one of the most celebrated emotions we experience, and many people talk about having ‘no regrets’, and reflecting on it as something that is bad or wrong.

Focusing on the situation that we regret can feel like dragging the weight of the past with us, and this will drain our energy and mean we are less available for life in the present. However, we can choose to move away from past regret by applying what we have learnt from it, and therefore transforming the energy to something more constructive and creative for our future self.

During this session we explore how we can use regret to our advantage by noticing patterns, what human beings tend to regret the most and what we can do about it going forwards.
