Here are a few mindsets that haunt #LowMorale workplaces. These entrenched mindsets are even scarier since we see may not immediately see damaging results - only to one day find ourselves among buried plans and goals and petrified and paralyzed employees. Which ones haunt your workplace?

#RecoveryInTheBooks: We #read for joy. We read for learning. And when we read, we can recognize ourselves in others, and find pathways to recovery. Have you read "Pachinko" by @lee_minjin? Find a copy near you: search.worldcat.org/title/986965...

Low-Morale Experiences are filled with instances of harm & bearing witness to events that paralyze and disconnect us from ourselves. Try these fundamental strategies. Breathe. Notice. Move. Start small & make your own pathways to permission for self-compassion & grace as you continue recovering.
