Calm Is A Superpower: So Why Is It So Damn Hard To Find When We Need It Most?

When our daily lives are hectic, finding calm amidst chaos feels like grasping at sand slipping through our fingers. In this episode of the podcast, we cover the transformative potential of cultivating calmness, a superpower that feels elusive but is actually attainable.
Drawing from personal reflections and insights from thought leaders like Brene Brown, I delve into the art of remaining composed and becoming a calm person. Discover the key practices that calm people use, from conscious breathing to rational assessment of situations.
But does freaking out ever truly help? We look at the costs of succumbing to stress and anxiety and the rewards of embracing the calm. Through mindfulness, cognitive-behavioural techniques, and neuroscience, we uncover the pathways to rewiring our brains for resilience.
Join me in finding the calmness, where it isn't just a distant dream but a choice we can make in each moment. I will admit, this is one that I am still working on, but it is something I am committed to achieving.

Don’t Shine Too Bright!: How Lack Of Self-Recognition And Fear Of Celebrating Your Achievements Can Impact Your Mental Health

In a society that values humility and modesty, many individuals find themselves grappling with the inclination to downplay their accomplishments. The pervasive fear of being perceived as boastful or overshadowing others has significant consequences, particularly on one's mental well-being. This reluctance to acknowledge one's achievements transcends various facets of life, including the realms of work, friendships, family, and academia. The act of dimming one's light to avoid outshining others can erode authenticity and contribute to emotional distress.
This podcast delves into the repercussions of such behaviour. It offers practical strategies to help individuals break free from this self-limiting pattern, urging them to embrace their true selves unapologetically, irrespective of potential consequences. From a workplace perspective, the phenomenon often manifests as "imposter syndrome," creating a barrier to career advancement and fostering feelings of inadequacy and stress among professionals striving to maintain harmonious relationships with colleagues.
