#16 Managing Your Overreactions, Assumptions and Comparisons at Work and in Life

Being mindful is a challenge when your mind is taxed with emotion, chaos and judgment. Try to execute mindfully composed leadership in a crisis moment and it can feel impossible. The crisis need not be of catastrophic proportion to raise your anxiety barometer to out of control. It could be as simple as one more expectation added onto your already busy day. Notice the triggers. When the fear response is activated it takes 15 to 20 minutes to reset biologically. If this happens often enough and for long enough, your adrenals become fatigued and your immune system tanks. Long term fear can affect your metabolism, memory, inflammation, blood pressure and blood sugar levels. It can also contribute to psychological disturbances such as depression, anxiety, loss of satisfaction and burnout. These are symptoms of your mind, body and spirit calling for relief. In this episode we define actionable practices to bring that relief.
