Learning Resources

Do you often find yourself setting the same New Year resolutions year after year simply because you didn't achieve them last year?

In the weeks leading to a new year, many of us optimistically set new year resolutions hoping to motivate ourselves towards new goals, routines, or habits.

However, in a short couple of weeks, we often find ourselves having trouble adhering to these resolutions. But what if you could learn a few simple tricks that could help you stick to and achieve those goals?


This is a workshop like no other where you will also learn :
- How to set effective goals
- Develop habits that stick, even in these pandemic times.

Synopsis
We live in an increasingly volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous (VUCA) world. Our planet, our world faces many unprecedented challenges. Along with prosperity, we have population explosion, poverty, violence, conflicts, increasing inequality, the environment, and global warming. We also face an epidemic of diseases of the modernized society, diseases of both the body and the mind: cancer, heart disease, diabetes, hypertension, obesity, autoimmune, autism, ADHD, chronic stress & anxiety, and depression.
Mental health is now a clear and urgent issue - the next major epidemic. Research shows that fully one in four youths in the industrialized world suffer from some form of mental health issues while growing up. Youth suicides and attempted suicides have gone up steadily over the years. Another shocking statistic: 22% of children in Singapore think about suicide. What we're seeing is only the tip of the iceberg, as the pressure, the expectation, and the stress of living in modern society continue to grow. For many, life increasingly feels like a treadmill that they can’t get off, while others experience a growing sense of loneliness, isolation, and disconnect despite living in an age of digital super-connectivity - with Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, Tiktok, gaming, e-sport, etc - with everything going digital and all the attendant mental health challenges that come with it.

The current reality is clearly unsustainable; the need for a new approach is clear and urgent. We need a new way of thinking, a new mindset, new skills, to make new choices. Life is about making choices. The thoughts we think, the words we speak, and the actions we take – choices that we make individually – and collectively – create the reality of our world.

As parents, what roles do we need to play - what new seeds do we need to plant - what new choices do we need to make - what new skills do we need to teach - for ourselves and for our children - to help point the way to a new kind of reality for a better tomorrow - the reality of a kinder, gentler, more just, more inclusive and more sustainable world.

As working from home has become compulsory for everyone during the Circuit Breaker to curb the COVID-19 pandemic, we all have had to adjust to this new situation. This has impacted not only ourselves but our family and peers.

This may continue and become a new normal for many, even after the easing of the Circuit Breaker restrictions, many may not have the right environment, family situation, company support and mental stage to deal with it on a continuous basis.

The webinar addresses the different phases one goes through and how to deal with the challenges that surface at each stage:

● Managing conflicting priorities of work and home
● Balancing productivity and flexibility
● Building relationships through technology

When setting or establishing a new goal, consider using SMART goals. By using the acronym S.M.A.R.T. you provide structure to help ensure that a goal is specific, measurable, achievable, relevant and time bound. The SMART method is a well-known approach that helps to increase your chances of success. FREE Online Course https://www.udemy.com/goal-setting/

Feedback about the AIM/EnactUS event on Mentoring in the Social Sphere

“It takes a village to raise a child” is an African proverb that is very applicable to mentoring.

Our “village” has never been more necessary than it is today. We live in a fast-paced, instant information, and pressure-packed world.
Mentees also go through different stages in life, play multiple roles, that require different types of mentors, and at times more than one mentor for different parts of their life. Different mentors, with their own unique set of skills and mentoring expertise, can work with mentees to give them a well-rounded and multi-faceted mentoring environment.

This discussion is about collaboration and partnerships you need to build as a mentor with your peers to support your mentee in the best way possible.
