Judicial Wellness Program (NMJWP)
Update/Manage Your Calendar
This may seem a bit simplistic, but the power in really having command of your calendar helps us feel more in control and relaxed about the upcoming day or week because we know what to expect. Also, finding out where the spaces exist for you to have time for your own wellness (i.e., exercise, leisure, family or friend time) can help you make the time for things other than work. By doing that, we may find that we are more relaxed and supported to fully engage in our work. Our productivity can be increased with just this small shift of finding balance.
Try it and let us know how it worked! Reach out with any comments to Sandra.engel@sbnm.org.
