Episode notes
Anxiety as Main Source of Suffering
- Nolita Tsengiwe's main suffering at work is anxiety driven by a need to do more.
- This "never enough" feeling is amplified by a workplace culture of efficiency and perfectionism.
Conflict and Nervous System Regulation
- Workplace conflict stems from difficulty regulating our nervous systems.
- Mindfulness, even a simple pause, helps regulate and creates space for meaningful conversation.
Practicing Mindfulness: Pausing
- To practice mindfulness, simply pause and observe your thinking process.
- This disentangles you from thoughts and creates ease and clarity.
