CAREER, BUSINESS, AND THE NERVOUS SYSTEM

Our business + career directly impacts our nervous system, and vice-versa. Just as chronic stress at work can lead to a dysregulated nervous system, a dysregulated nervous system can also affect performance at work.

A dysregulated nervous system may affect your business or career in ways including but not limited to brain fog, difficulty concentrating, anxiety and overwhelm, compassion fatigue due to burnout, and other physical, mental and emotional health issues.

To get a better idea of how your career is affecting the nervous system, you can ask yourself what specifically is stressful or overwhelming about your workplace, what triggers procrastination or shutdown, and what prevents proper winding down and quality sleep at night.

If you are experiencing stress in your career or business, we recommend starting the day with a BALANCE session to help regulate your nervous system, and supporting your nervous system with a healthy diet, adequate sleep, exercise, stillness and play.

Additionally, if the source of stress in the workplace is chronic or overwhelming, and will not be resolved in the near future, it may be time to find a new place to work, or take a new direction.

Balancing the nervous system leads to a number of career benefits that include improved focus and performance, improved creativity and problem-solving, heightened social awareness and communication, and a clearer sense of purpose with your career.
