In this second episode of our Aloha Mini-Series, we draw inspiration from an article that we discovered in the Southwest Magazine on our flight to Maui. In “Work with an Aloha Attitude”, Rosa Say teaches us how to apply the Hawaiian value of Aloha to our life’s work, inspiring us to live authentically from the inside out and to make management more human. By practicing self-love and love for other people, we can cultivate a positive workplace that nourishes us rather than stresses us out. We also chat about engaging in purposeful work - work that sparks true joy, and is uniquely aligned with what each of us can offer the world.
Take inspired action:
- Welcome heaven on earth and practice being a friend to yourself (Tool: Every morning, list 3 things that you appreciate or are grateful for).
- Give yourself permission to let go (Tool: Set an intention, meditate, or journal).
- Bring the attributes of ‘Aloha’ to the workplace, even in times of conflict (Tool: Approach experiences with a clear mindset and with patience).
- Take a moment to pause and reflect. (Tool: Ask yourself, what brings me joy? What can I offer to the world? And how might these worlds intersect?).
Today’s key takeaways:
(08:17) - A brief recap of the letterings of ‘Aloha’, and the beautiful values associated with the Spirit of Aloha.
(11:26) - The Hawaiian value of Aloha = your ‘Alo’, or the face you put forth to the world + ‘Ha’, the breath of life
(15:19) - How to reconnect with your essence in the workplace by nurturing your relationships with your coworkers.
(18:05) - If we don’t know who we are, we wouldn’t know how to express ourselves outwardly in a way that’s authentic.
(24:59) - Be a friend to yourself and practice self-love.
(34:58) - How to practice the breath of life and be aware of your physical and mental state in the present moment.
(46:04) - The philosophy of managing human energy with Aloha.
(1:01:28) - The value of "ho'ohana", or purposeful work, and doing the things that spark joy inside of you.
