Article by Maynard Brusman, March 31, 2020“Daring to set boundaries is about having the courage to love ourselves, even when we risk disappointing others.”– Brené Brown
Stress is a very powerful force that involves awareness, attention and energy. It can be managed and empower you. If you let stress control you the resulting distress can be harmful to your body, mind, and spirit. Learn to relax your mind and body.
Neuroscience research provides evidence that when we are stressed-out our brain produces the chemical cortisol, which activates protection behaviors. When we are more relaxed, oxytocin a feel-good hormone is released elevating our ability to communicate, collaborate and trust others. Regularly practicing mindfulness meditation can help you better cope with the volatility, uncertainty and complexity in your personal life and today’s workplace.
Learning to become more “present” in the moment will free you to be more flexible, creative and calm. Mindfulness reduces stress and promotes resilience. You can cultivate more courage, kindness, self-compassion and gratitude enjoying better health, well-being and freedom. Stay socially connected virtually and physically distant in these difficult times.
