Before and after every group we run, we have a pre and post group.
The pre group at the start of the day, i particularly enjoy. We go round the room and everyone just discusses how they feel. It could be anything from - "tired, i didn't sleep well" to "anxious about the day because i found yesterday particularly hard..." etc
I think there's something incredibly refreshing about this group. For one thing, it helps just to relieve you of any negative feelings you might have about the day ahead. For another, it allows you to feel some empathy towards your colleagues and judge the way you behave with them accordingly - i.e if you know they're having a bad time in their personal life, or even that they didn't sleep well last night, you might be a bit more patient with them or give them a little extra support. If you know they're feeling demoralising, you can try to inspire them etc.
Anyway....just a little thing i like and think could be transferred in some way across different settings.
