Meeting Stress HEAD Y
ou’re sitting in this meeting trying not to let your face betray you. The people here are CRAZY. And worse, they do NOT understand what is actually going on in the community behind the scenes. They don’t know how hard you work, they don’t understand the community budget, and they seem to have no boundaries at all—it feels like everything they are saying is
a personal attack on the community, on the board, and on YOU. Take a deep breath! These are some tips you can use to keep your cool in the middle of massively stressful meetings. 1. Breathe more deeply. Humans NEED air to survive--and lots of it. When we are oxygen deprived, our bodies can go into
a fight, flight, or freeze state--and when we are chronically oxygen deprived, this chronic stress response can present similarly to anxiety and depression. Americans tend to breathe very shallowly, and masks are just one more barrier to breath. In a meeting when you’re losing your cool, take some time to just focus on your breath and see how your emotional state changes.
