Best Self at Work

What does it mean to bring your best self to work?

To me, it means bringing the best of who I am to work. All of me.
That means the part of me that is passionate, creative, the part of me that is unsure and the part of me that is disappointed.
This is the whole me, and my best self is the part of me that I am growing to express. It is the vision I hold for who I can be and actively applying my attention to create that at work.

Sometimes there are parts of ourself we leave out of work. What it would be like if we could integrate those parts into our work as well?

I imagine this would help us feel more fulfilled at work and more creative (engaged too). If there is part of me that isn't showing up at work, that is less of me that I can devote to projects, relationships and moving things forward.

What do you think?

What does your best self mean to you?
