How is your emotional wardrobe this school year?

New nicely pressed school uniforms, your new professional wardrobe and smiles as the year begins.

How is your wardrobe now? Maybe, like me, you are slowly getting back into your favourite outfits now the summer excess of eating well is over! But you take two outfits into your professional world. What you wear on the outside is for everyone to see. But, with the stigma of mental health you may never know what everyone is wearing on the inside.

Your emotional wardrobe, what you wear on the inside, is more powerful that you would ever think. Your thoughts drive your emotions. Your emotions drive your behaviour and wellbeing. Let me ask you this, what has changed in your personal and professional life since day one?

What is the effect of the emotions that you are wearing this academic year having on you?
