Take a break to watch the clouds roll by. Eat food slowly. Start the day with conscious awareness.<\/p>\n

These are three examples of daily actions Brock employees can take this month as part of the workplace kindness calendar<\/a>, a year-long initiative of kindness, compassion and self-care created by the Random Acts of Kindness Foundation.<\/p>\n

Brock University is encouraging faculty and staff to make kindness the norm<\/a> by using the calendar to help create a caring and considerate working environment. The calendar can be used individually by employees or incorporated into team communications, such as meetings, manager updates and newsletters.<\/p>\n

The theme for January is mindfulness, which is the act of maintaining a moment-by-moment awareness of thoughts, feelings, bodily sensations and the surrounding environment.<\/p>\n

Upcoming themes include kindness in February, self-awareness and self-love in March, and caring for the environment in April.<\/p>\n

In addition to the actions suggested on each day of the calendar, there are several kindness resources and tips on the Random Acts of Kindness Foundation website<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Questions regarding Brock\u2019s involvement with the initiative can be directed to Health Management and Wellness at employeehealth@brocku.ca<\/a><\/p>\n
