Wellness: From Abstract to Reality
When I first joined Breuchkelen Eclectic, I was immediately struck by the vibrant energy and commitment to wellness that permeates every corner of the workspace. My boss, Ms. Tameeka, is an advocate for physical, mental, and emotional wellness, constantly encouraging us to incorporate wellness techniques into our daily routines.
Rekindling a Passion for Art
Before this internship, wellness was more of an abstract concept to me. I had hobbies, sure, but they had lost their magic, becoming tasks on a never-ending to-do list. Drawing, once a beloved pastime, had become something I did out of personal obligation, not enjoyment.
Stepping into Breuchkelen Eclectic felt like a breath of fresh air. The emphasis on wellness and the supportive environment encouraged me to pick up my sketchbook again, this time for me. The first time I drew for my own pleasure after so long felt like breaking free from invisible chains, like taking the first breath of air after being submerged underwater. It was rejuvenating, reminding me of why I fell in love with art in the first place. It was a revelation to rediscover that joy and use it as a tool for my mental health.
Reconnecting with Nature
Beyond reigniting my passion for drawing, Breuchkelen Eclectic has also inspired me to reconnect with nature. Taking walks wasn't just a means of exercise; it was a form of meditation—a therapy, if you will. A way to ground myself and appreciate the world around me. There's something profoundly healing about feeling the sun on your face, hearing the rustle of leaves, and simply being present in the moment. These walks have become a sanctuary for my thoughts, a time to decompress and find clarity amidst the chaos of daily life.
A Holistic Approach to Wellness
What makes Breuchkelen Eclectic truly special is its holistic approach to wellness. It's not just about being productive; it's about ensuring that each of us is emotionally well and stable, which, in turn, enhances our productivity and creativity. This internship has taught me the importance of balance, of taking time for self-care and recognizing that mental health is just as crucial as physical health. I am incredibly grateful to be part of a workspace that values and fosters this kind of environment, where I can thrive both personally and professionally.
