In our latest Coffee Connect episode, we dove into the world of mental fitness. The session was fast-paced and interactive, condensing what would typically be a two-hour workshop into a power-packed hour. Here's a quick recap of what we learned.
Setting the Stage
There typically isn't any homework to be completed on Coffee Connect but this week it was asked that participants complete two assessments to aide in their understanding and ability to conquer their own Saboteurs.
The Focus on Mental Fitness
Before diving into the techniques, we were guided through a simple but effective breathing exercise designed to help us return to a calm and focused state, even when faced with stress or triggers. All without those around you even noticing. We moved on to practical techniques aimed at building mental fitness. Concentrating on how mental fitness helps us stay grounded and clear-headed, no matter what challenges come our way. We learned that by practicing these techniques, we can quickly shift from a reactive state to a more centered and focused one.
Tasked with taking a few minutes to journal about the top challenge or concern in our lives today. This exercise helped us understand our feelings and thoughts about the situation. It also made us aware of how these challenges affect our state of mind and our interactions with others. Wrapping up with a promise of practical takeaways. We left with new techniques to handle stress and challenges more effectively. These tools are designed to help us stay in our "sage brain," a term used to describe a clear, focused, and grounded state of mind.

4 个月Wow, what a great summary! For all who want to know more, there are some free resources available on positiveintelligence.com. Contact me about getting a free 1:1 Saboteur Debrief. We are living in challenging times, and we sometimes need some help to jump up to our next level of competency AND well-being. I partner with visionary leaders to co-create high functioning, conscious teams and cultures who are committed to transformative impact - simultaneously from the inside out, and outside in. I use several transformative change methods, including Positive Intelligence, the Integrative Enneagram, Bigger Game, the Inner Development Goals, and more. If you are concerned in particular about climate change, and you are aware that we are in planetary overshoot, with concurrent geopolitical, and socio-economic challenges - let's connect. I can also provide support for those of us who are "collapse-concerned" - and anticipate a much more volatile and uncertain future.
