Finding Reward in Effort
Life often tests us before it rewards us.
The most fulfilling moments come after consistent effort and determination.
Whether it’s completing a personal goal, advancing at work, or improving wellbeing, the climb shapes who we are.
No pun intended with regards to the 'climb' - but Max and I spent day doing Via Ferrata in the French Alps a few summers ago. I was certainly out of my comfort zone - as I'm not very good with heights....
On Reflection...
Not just when you are climbing mountains...but when we all face obstacles, it's useful to consider the value in persistence.
How does overcoming difficulties strengthen resilience, confidence, and perspective?
The process itself is as important as the outcome.
Each challenge equips you with skills and insights for the next climb whilst also strengthening the bonds we have with those that we go through the challenge with.
Linking this back to our Wellbeing
Mental and emotional wellbeing is strengthened through challenge and reflection.
Recognising progress during difficult moments builds self-esteem and resilience, which are essential for long-term wellbeing; and is unsurprising one of the categories that underpins our ongoing wellbeing.
