Mindset is a weird thing.
We got back from a vacation on Saturday and immediately put our son back on the ice to get ready for the hockey season. Then the weather dimmed a bit, and suddenly we felt like Summer Is Over.
But it’s not! It’s only August 21, and even if you think Labour Day is the unofficial last day of summer, that still leaves nearly two weeks!
But summer is a mindset, not just a season. And really, the best part of Summer is breaking out of routine. Skip a chore and do something outside. Spontaneously go for ice cream. Whatever you need to do to spark some joy and help your mental and physical wellness.
Let’s go for it, and close this summer out right!
Each week, ICBA’s Jordan Bateman reflects on what we’ve learned as we participate in ICBA’s Workplace Wellness Program. ICBA’s Workplace Wellness Program is helping more than 100 companies and more than 10,000 construction professionals better understand mental health. This program is free for all ICBA members – check out icba.ca/wellness for details.
