Importantly, it’s not the absence of negative thoughts or feelings. Feeling sad, overwhelmed, anxious or under pressure are all normal, natural responses to life’s ups and downs. We all have good days and bad days. Having good mental wellbeing means being able to manage and understand those feelings in a way that empowers you to live the life you want. To handle those ups and downs with confidence. To feel productive. To have positive relationships. To work towards your goals. And to empower others to do the same.
So if mental wellbeing is something we all have to work at, why do we find it so hard to talk about?
Despite a growing awareness of the importance of consciously cultivating good mental wellbeing, and a rise in the amount of self-help resources out there, it remains a taboo subject for many people. Lots of us still feel that the face we present to the world should show no sign of weakness. No sign of needing a break. No sign of needing anybody else.
We worry that we will be judged, thought less of, treated differently or seen as weak and incapable. We might fear being passed over for promotion or side lined by our social circles.
At CABA our mission is to empower all members of the chartered accountant community to take care of their own wellbeing, through all of life’s ups and downs. Part of this is to have the confidence to reach out for support, and in turn support others too. This website is filled with resources, advice and information to help you do just that.
Overcoming our reluctance to open up about the way we really feel.
