Conscious Why
- This is for you if you’ve ever found yourself at the mercy of your emotions
- Would you like to have more freedom and flexibility when handling
challenging situations?
- Do you ever find yourself in a situation where you know better but don’t do
what you know, all because of the emotional state you’re in? (Lose your mind,
forget something simple)
- What if you could understand what’s going on in your brain when you’re
stressed and get that process working for you?
Personal Story
- Think of an area in your life where
- Positive/Negative States in any given week
- Why this is important to me – Used to hate public speaking, now I love it! I’d
stand up to speak, and my mind would sit right down
- 1st did this with My mom
Bad day at work
Did you really have a bad day - or were there some good things too?
What really happened? One bad moment that coloured the day
Called me later and had walked herself through it - and I was like YES!
Are you allowing a bad moment, bad day or bad experience to colour your day,
or worse your life?
Preframe
-Put prior learning aside for the time being
-May have heard some of this before – repetition is the mother of learning
(hear it in new way). Knowing more vs doing what you know
-Some ideas may be very simple but they’re not simplistic
Unconscious Why
Icebreaker
- Force card first
- Card
- Circle
Meaning – all different (values, backgrounds, beliefs) but we’re also the same
(minds and bodies work). Stress affects us in similar ways and we can learn to
manage it and use it to our advantage.
Stress
Stress – One or more of our essential needs are not being met. Accumulation
of pressures – physical/psychological – too much to comfortably cope with.
Will vary from person to person.
What happens when we’re under stress? Physical (tension, poor sleep),
Emotional (worrying), Mental (Poor concentration)
Emotional challenges like depression, anxiety & panic attacks are caused and
made worse by stress – which in turn causes more stress.
When someone is drowning in depression, fear, anxiety and panic is not the
time to teach them how to swim - remember that their emotional brain is
running the show so they can't think clearly, they're not focusing on the
doughnut, they're focusing on the hole and making it bigger than it is - when
someone is drowning what do they need? A life vest.
Relaxation doesn’t just get rid of the symptoms of stress, it has therapeutic
benefits because it reduces the emotional alertness in the brain, allowing you
to think clearly.
