In this world of hybrid and remote work, the ongoing pandemic, and the great resignation, work can be a stressful place. It certainly looks very different than it did a year ago, and many of your elders might not even recognize the workplace as you know it today. In the modern workplace, it’s easy to become stressed, and hard to find your work-life balance. If this is the case, look to your Native traditions to help ground you, and bring some calm back into your life.
Connect with Mother Earth
Mother Earth has long been a source of strength, respite, and peace for Indigenous individuals. Many feel the connection to Mother Earth is so strong that there is no separation between them. In times of great stress, take a walk outside, sit in a park or by the water, and truly take time to appreciate Mother Earth and all she gives you. Whether you take 10 minutes or an hour, allowing yourself the opportunity to connect with nature and Mother Earth can help to calm and center you.
