What's one HR task you dread the most?

This week is the D for Diet. You are probably thinking, "Oh no, she didn't - not on Thanksgiving week." Well, we all get a pass for Thanksgiving Day. When I say DIET, I don’t mean go on one. I mean eat foods that nourish your body – protein, fruits, veggies. Limit sugar and processed foods. You know what to do! 👉 SHARE: What’s one thing you’ll do to focus on improving your diet this week? 🎁Each time you share, you're entered into a prize drawing.

It’s Week 2 of the Challenge, and we’re focusing on exercise and movement. I know… cue the collective groan. Most of us have room to improve here! The CDC recommends about 30 minutes of activity most days, but the real key is this: do something you actually enjoy. If you hate running, don’t force yourself to train for a 5K. If you like to dance, try Zumba or a dance class. For those of us with desk jobs, remember sitting is the new smoking. Try to get up and stretch, walk, or move every couple of hours. 👉 SHARE: What’s one small thing you’ll do this week to move more? Don’t forget — sharing each week enters you into the prize drawing!

It’s a stressful time of year, so I thought we could do a stress-busting challenge in the community, to the acronym MEDS. Mindfulness / Exercise & Movement / Diet / Sleep This week is the ‘M” Mindfulness is being fully present and aware of what’s happening right now — your thoughts, feelings, body, and surroundings — without judgment or distraction. It is one of the best ways to deal with stress. You can practice it by: ✅Deep breathing – my favorite is conscious breathing. Breathe in through your nose for 4, hold for 4, breathe out through your mouth for 4, hold for 4. Do it at least 3 times. ✅Set reminders on your phone to pause and be mindful. ✅Yoga or tai chi. ✅Walking in nature and focusing on the here and now.

I started the Badass Business Hub because I have been that department of one. And know that it can be overwhelming and isolating. But when we share ideas and support each other, HR gets a lot less scary. We are 65 members strong and have now closed out membership until January. Let’s kick things off — 👉 Introduce yourself in the comments! Tell us: ➡️What’s your current HR (or people-related role)? If it’s just one of your hats, let us know that. ➡️Share your organization and industry. ➡️How do you keep your sanity in your HR/people-related role? Next week on 11/13 at 10 a.m. EST, we will be online for a Hot Mess HR Roundtable to get to know each other and Q&A. Head over to the Calendar to add it to yours! Stay tuned tomorrow for a free resource! All of this (and more) is waiting in the Badass HR Hub — join the discussion 👇
