No. 9 Three meters (10’) made all the difference
Today's theme: how can we set ourselves and our projects up for success by paying attention to our environment?
Environmental cues play an important role in reminding you to do the things you intend to do. If you're setting an intention to regulate your nervous system (aka entering a healthier relationship with your fear response), environmental cues can support that.
No. 5 Surge Time: Staying Steady When Life Speeds Up
“Surge time” is a busy season when we face more demands than usual, either personal or professional. Sometimes you see them coming, and other times you don’t.
I like to surf, so the analogy of a wave is apt here. How do you ride the wave of surge time, rather than be taken over?
No. 4 Loop-de-Loop: Becoming aware of burnout patterns

Thinking of your incomplete to-do list or that performance review with your boss can impact your stress response.

What happens in our nervous system when we’re under pressure?

The more we understand our internal stress responses, the more skillfully we can show up in our work.
