1. Chronic stress changes your body's response patterns
-
Actual scene
Your shoulders are stiff every time you have a meeting with your boss. It's not because your posture is wrong. It may be that a bad workplace experience in the past has taught your body that "facing authority = danger." Once you become aware of this, you can begin to change.
2. The regulation of the body is more effective than the analysis of the mind
-
Actual scene
Telling yourself "Don't be anxious" when you are anxious is completely useless. But by taking five minutes to breathe deeply (in for 4 seconds, hold for 7 seconds, out for 8 seconds), your parasympathetic nervous system will be activated and your anxiety will really drop. The body's approach is more effective than the head's approach.
3. A sense of security is the prerequisite for healing
-
Actual scene
You want the team to start doing retrospectives, but no one dares to say anything. Because they don't feel "safe". First establish a sense of trust that "what is said here will not be held accountable", and then people will start to express themselves truly.
Key Takeaways
- 1 Chronic stress changes your body's response patterns
