Appreciation Day!

Tips to strengthen your roots/foundation

National Houseplant Appreciation Day is on January 10 every year, and it reminds us that plants at home and at work do more than just brighten our day.

Houseplants convert carbon dioxide into oxygen for us to breathe, improving the air quality in your home. Plants also release moisture into the air, conditioning it with refreshing humidity.

But plants also remind us of one of the most critical aspects of success.

Strong Roots, a strong foundation, is the key to facing any challenge in business or in life.

A tree with strong roots can withstand the most violent storm. And storms, when weathered, generally make the tree and its roots stronger.

It’s a new year and a new opportunity for us to take stock of where we are and how we might make our roots stronger now.

There are 8 key areas of life, that when strong, make us the best version of ourselves we can be:

1. Physical
2. Mental
3. Emotional
4. Spiritual
5. Family Relationships
6. Social Relationships/ Colleagues / Community
7. Career / Professional
8. Money & Finances

As these eight “roots” become stronger, we can ultimately become unshakeable no matter what challenges come our way and no matter what we must face in life.

In which areas are you strong?

Which areas could stand to improve?

Now is the time to decide where you are and where you want to be.

If things are great in all areas, you can still strive to make them even better. If you are challenged in some of these areas, now is the time to commit to building new strength going forward.

Are you committed to strengthening your relationships at home and at work by improving your communication skills or increasing your emotional awareness?

Are you committed to increasing your mental agility and skills at solving problems so you can contribute more at home and at work?

Are you committed to being more productive and effective at work or in your community by learning new strategies to manage time and eliminate stress?

Is your life in balance? Or are some of these areas much stronger or weaker than others?

Which roots will you focus on growing in the coming year?

Whichever they are, know that you can make it happen because you are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think!
