Boundaries

A lack of boundaries invite a lack of respect.  

You get what you expect.

You deserve what you tolerate.

I saw this video on my feed and it aptly illustrates that nobody can disrespect you if you do not allow it.  Maybe it's a part of our culture that we were raised to be hospitable, to be welcoming of people, to be caring even to a point where we get uncomfortable just to address the needs of others.  There should be a point where we say NO.  This is as far as I go.  Your rights should not step on my rights.  I have rights too.  I have a boundary.  I deserve respect.

FOCUS

in the hustle and bustle of everyday grind, we can take a break to breathe and pause to smell the coffee.

then i realize that life is a matter of FOCUS.  I may be sitting quietly contemplating on life with my cup of coffee, but I am still focusing on the traffic below.  time to shift my focus on my cup of coffee and me.  just for a moment.  just to pause and breathe.  just to shut out the noise outside and give myself a moment of peace.

HEALING

There are a lot of factors in healing, but definitely healing takes time, effort and understanding.  One needs to reflect on the root cause of one's suffering and trauma to directly address and cut off the triggers, no matter how painful.  Sometimes we make things complicated for ourselves, so we also need to analyze our own role in our own problems.

Habang may buhay, may pag-asa.

Para kanino ka gumigising

There are mornings when it is challenging to simply get out of bed.

EMPLOYEE MERITOCRACY

The PRAISE Awards is the rewards and recognition part of the Civil Service Commission Program to Institutionalize Meritocracy and Excellence in Human Resource (PRIME-HR).  

We recognized employees who have served 10, 15, 20, 30 and 40 years.  We also recognize employees with perfect attendance and with professional achievement, as well as those with innovations for improvement.

Writing a thank you card or an email appreciating the work of an employee and an acknowledgemenf of their professional growth shows the extra effort you put in which makes the recognition more meaningful.

Join us tonight August 31, 2024 (Saturday) at 9PM MLA to discuss employee meritocracy:

T1.  What qualities and achievements would you recognize and reward among your employees if you were an employer?

T2.  Can you share a memorable experience with an employee or co-worker that you are thankful for?

T3.  How would you celebrate small wins and rewards meritocracy and excellent performance?

Trust Your Doctors

This is an appreciation post for the doctors who are helping me take care of my health.

The weight loss part is the most difficult about getting to a healthy place.  I am noisy about it because aiming to achieve goals with a partner or with a support group is more effective than going at it alone.

Whatever the diagnosis, trust your doctors.  They have your best interests at heart.

Many of my other doctors not among these photos, but much appreciated nonetheless.
