Hal and Joanne are back with a reminder to make self-care a priority, especially as we head into our busiest time of the year! As Purolator moves into our “peak” season, and the holidays are fast approaching, stress levels can be higher due to family, finances, and more social engagements than the previous couple of years. Self-care moments are those that bring us joy, and can help ease challenges we may currently be facing. A self-care moment can be as simple as going for a walk, watching a funny video or sharing kind words with a colleague or friend. Sharing acts of kindness can also boost optimism, improve relationships, lower stress levels and increase happiness. Check out this video, where Hal and Joanne share easy ways to share kindness with ourselves and others. And, special shout-out to Aaron Maynard, Unit Manager from our Barrie terminal, for his cameo!

In this video, we explore the concept of the “resilience bucket” (challenge bucket), which represents our ability to manage daily stress factors at work and in our personal lives. When we face various challenges, our bucket fills up. When it overflows, we may feel overwhelmed and exhausted. Learning resilience and applying self-care methods can help us deal with stress and lead a balanced life.
