Calm is the new luxury in our lives, the holy grail. Because our existences are filled with technology that keeps us wired and connected, people who reach us around the clock, and a not-so-ideal work-life blend. So often we are in stress response mode. When was the last time you gave yourself the gift of calm?
We are learning more and more about the vagus nerve, which is responsible for calming our bodies and minds down when we are being triggered. Without appropriate methods, we will be at the mercy of external circumstances that are only getting more complex and challenging to handle. So we need to bring calm about mindfully and intentionally – otherwise our enjoyment of life will lessen.
In this episode, you’ll hear 12 effective and practical tips to stay calm during the storms of life, including:
- How to limit our exposure to stressors, such as the news, certain people or environments that trigger us
- Natural techniques such as breathing, cold exposure, clearing your space
- Why accepting uncertainty is the antidote to stress
- Some time management hacks to bring more space within your days & minds
After this episode and putting into practice its tools for a while, you will start noticing an increased general sense of calm, and less reactivity to what is happening around you.
Please share this episode with your friends, family and colleagues who most likely also find themselves on the treadmill of stress and would love some more calm.
