Body Awareness: Your First Step toward Emotional Resilience

Influential Introvert: Communication Coaching for Professionals with Performance Anxiety

Where do emotions come from? What are emotions?
Most of us don’t give this much thought. We live as if we’re at the mercy of our emotions. We live in fear of them.
Anxiety and anger and stress. We try to deny them or indulge in them in unhelpful ways.
And this often means staying quiet. We’re not willing to be with an emotion long enough to feel its power diminish. Did you know this usually happens in about 90 seconds?
Think about a time when you had to speak in public, whether in a meeting, on stage, at a networking event. At first, it felt scary, but as you pushed through, you started to feel better.
I work with my clients to help them manage their minds and bodies so they feel less anxious and more confident speaking up and being decisive.
Body awareness is the first step toward emotional freedom and resilience and what I want to talk to you about today.
I’ll be weaving in some Stoic philosophy, which is an ancient philosophy rooted in love and positive emotion.
More than 2,000 years ago, the Stoics practiced therapeia, the foundation of today’s leading evidence-based treatment for anxiety: cognitive behavioral therapy.
When people hear the word ‘stoic,’ they often think of someone who swallows their emotions.
Stoic philosophy, however, involves cultivating healthy emotions and managing unhealthy ones.
Stoics leaders get curious about emotions like anxiety, instead of reacting against them or stuffing them down. This self-awareness sets them free.
Are you ready to learn how? Let’s go.
