Key Wellness and Self-Care Strategies

Self-Knowledge and Reflection:
- Use tools like the "life questionnaire" to reflect deeply on personal history, challenges, motivations, and growth.
- Embrace vulnerability by sharing your authentic story; this fosters self-awareness and emotional resilience.
- View career development as a continuous journey of self-discovery, not a one-time event.
Purpose and Meaning:
- Connect your work with a larger purpose that motivates you daily.
- Align personal values and aspirations with the company’s mission to feel fulfilled and energized.
- Recognize the impact of your work on others’ lives, especially entrepreneurs who drive the economy.
Growth Mindset and Learning:
- Approach career as an entrepreneurial venture where you are the CEO of your own path.
- Take responsibility for your career development (#IamResponsible).
- Maintain curiosity and a willingness to learn continuously ("we are all students until we die").
- Use setbacks as learning opportunities and practice resilience by questioning if a path is worth pursuing.
Community and Support:
- Engage with supportive communities (e.g., Seja Recruta Telegram group) for shared learning and motivation.
- Seek feedback actively and view it as a tool for growth, even when it is critical.
