I thought the Attitude & Energy Module, although basic in content and concept, is overwhelmingly important for all working professionals as it can and SHOULD be applied to every person's life. The concept of Te Whare Tapa Wha is essential to maintaining balance, happiness and stability in one's own life. I particularly like this concept because it's useful knowledge for everyone, not just individuals that work in higher education. Simply put, having a firm and unwavering balance between your physical, psychological, family and spiritual health allows you to be the best version of yourself, which in turn should allow you to function well within your professional line of work and all other aspects of life for that matter. If these 4 areas are not well maintained, then you can't be expected to perform at your best level at work, which can shortchange your interactions, assistance and support with students.
As both a professional and individual, I try to maintain my well-being by keeping all 4 areas of my personal energy in check. Sometimes, I need to remind myself it's time to take a break, whether it be for lunch or to simply take a quick stroll to get a break from sitting in front of a computer all day, which can easily be draining. Throughout my time in higher education, I've learned it's important to devise a system that works best for me individually and aids in keeping me energized and focused each day. I am a big communicator, so when I feel like I have low energy, I usual make sure I'm moving to regain my energy level throughout any given work day. I may go and say hello to a colleague or two, take my lunch, go for a walk, etc... Sometimes I may rearrange the order in which I complete tasks to help maintain a working balance of personal energy throughout the work day. In other words, if I have a large task that's very energy/time consuming, I may break it up/spread it out by revisiting it a different points within a given day, or I will commit a good amount of time to it and do something far less taxing once the task is complete for my next assignment as to not completely drain myself before the work day is up. This simple technique helps me to "refuel" my energy level as I proceed to tackle all other tasks required of me, whether it's focusing on one particular day, a whole week, a month, etc... In addition, I may swap some simpler tasks with harder ones on any given day, depending on the priority level of each task which can allow for me to complete a lot of work and still have a great amount of energy to use to commit or focus on a more challenging or pressing task that needs to be completed within a certain period of time.
Techniques used will vary from person to person when it comes to maintaining your personal energy and drive to perform your job duties. Whichever the technique(s), it's important to learn how to maintain your personal energy to effectively function and perform your professional duties. Without this balance, you aren't likely to assist students to the best of your ability which will hinder your role and the enrollment process for them.
