This video produced recently highlights an interesting perspective proposed by Celina regarding "todo"lists. This week, Melanie interviews Celina, who is the Intake and Communications Coordinator at Calgary Alternative Employment Services (CAES). Celina and Melanie talk about the pressure in society for people to perform, achieve, and perfect. Celina points out how following a to-do list can limit our sense of satisfaction and self-worth. Through her research and personal pra...ctice, Celina has found that balancing her daily to-do list with a to-be and a to-feel list helps nurture her connection with others, fulfill her sense of purpose, and embrace her uniqueness. Melanie and Celina talk about how this approach can be especially meaningful as we transition from a very difficult year and enter a new one.
