Why Staying Calm Stresses Us the F^ Out
We all aspire to live a life filled with calm tranquility. A life where we let things roll off our backs and are able to flood our bodies and our minds with a sense of peace whenever anything begins to upset us. Could you imagine stress becoming a thing of the past or not having anxiety? These are our hopes, especially as Generation X women who have been over-compensating, over-working, and over-committing in every place in our lives.
Trying to stay calm is another thing on our mental checklist, another thing to bring into awareness to try to change. Breathing techniques and yoga are supposed to reverse the effects our everyday demands have on our well-being.
In this week’s episode, we are getting real around Staying Calm, how it puts so much more pressure on us and makes us feel awful when we lose it.
Your professional biological clock is ticking, your time is now.
If you’re finally saying to yourself:
My business can no longer bring a trickle of money and I need to bring it to six-figures
I have what it takes to be an outstanding VP and it’s my time
Staying in my same corporate job isn’t fulfilling and I am ready for more
If this is you, reach out to Jackie to schedule a time to talk about how we can help you reach your professional goals.
Things we cover in this episode:
Staying in the State of Calm Isn’t Easy nor is it sustainable for most of us.
Our brain really doesn’t know how to stay calm, it’s always scouring surroundings to stay calm
We are not wired to be calm and tend to be stimulus junkies
You can stay calm by:
Becoming aware to not jump to conclusions
Distinguishing between a bump in the road and the end of the road
Looking at situations differently
Asking yourself if your reaction helps your outcome
Finding a calm mentor, who do you want to emulate during times of stress?
