171. Harness the Power of your Brain to Beat Stress: Part 1

Building an empire is a worthy goal, but that doesn’t mean it’s without its stressors. It can even be hard to notice in the moment. Imagine being so disconnected from your own body that you only recognize its distress when you're completely worn down. That's a state no leader wants to find themselves in, and certainly not one we want for our team members. Recognizing the signs your body sends you can be a powerful tool in avoiding this level of burnout.

So, for the next two weeks, we're going to delve into the mechanics of our brains, understand how our bodies react, and discover ways to leverage that brainpower to alter our responses and cultivate healthier relationships and outcomes.

This week, we'll unravel the basic structures of the brain and its development, a critical step towards understanding what goes on in your mind and body when faced with a threat. So, prepare yourself for a journey of self-discovery, all in the pursuit of healthier, more effective leadership.
