Is your nervous system dysregulated on the regular? Are you living in a state of consistent low (or even high) level of stress, anxiety or overwhelm?

Because our nervous systems are constantly scanning our environments for safety, safety is the underpinning of a light and joyful experience, free of stress and overwhelm, most especially in the office. However, many of us are operating in a window of tolerance that includes persistent levels of stress and anxiety. It's almost as if we've accepted that this is the way it has to be (when actually, it doesn't have to be this way).

This episode talks about how to check-in with your nervous system, to become aware when you are not feeling safe and to course correct. Overall it outlines:

This episode also covers examples for navigating safety in the workplace.

Themes: Psychological and Emotional Safety | Nervous System Regulation | Leadership Development | Layoffs | Personal Development | Career Development | Office Environments | 9-5 Stressors
