How can I increase the skills levels of my staff when my budget has been cut?
Given the question, my question would be: What can be done to create a state of wellbeing in every employee?
This is because people make better decisions when then they are stress free. Issues and problems always seem worse if a person is unhappy. People do not waste time fixating about problems, and how to address them, if they are happy. They just get on with it.
Things are always easier when our environment is comfortable. The problem with believing that our wellbeing is dependent on external factors, is that we will always worry that we will feel bad again if the situation changes. When we were born we only had two fears: falling and load noises. Every other fear we have learnt. We have a natural state of wellbeing but we lose it by insecure thinking.
A Helen Keller quote: “Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure, on nothing”.
Our experience of reality comes from within us. We do not live in a world of circumstance but in a world of experience created through our thinking.
My wellbeing comes from clarity of mind. If I find myself getting anxious, and there is no physical threat nearby, then I take it as my body telling me that my thinking is not helpful.
