Everybody\u2019s brain right now is so focused on looking for threats. It\u2019s like, \u201cwhere\u2019s the next bad thing going to come from?\u201d Because we\u2019re so used to that over what we went through in 2020. I mean, murder hornets for crying out loud, you can\u2019t make that up, right? So our brains are used to scanning for threats like, \u201cwhere\u2019s the next hit coming from?\u201d<\/p>\n

We are not paying attention to the
“good stuff.”<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.9.3″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”Source Sans Pro||||||||” custom_margin=”0px||0px||false|false” custom_padding=”0px||0px|10px|false|false” border_width_left=”2px” border_color_left=”#2d94e3″]<\/p>\n

We’re not paying attention to when someone says \u201cthank you,\u201d or \u201chey that went well.\u201d And so one of the tips that I recommend to students and to clients and anyone is just to make one or two notes about what went well today \u2014 a success that I had. Because our brains are not tuned into that stuff. So paying attention to the good stuff is one way to help not only just avoid burnout at work, but also to kind of stabilize yourself a little bit.<\/p>\n

There is a difference between a threat and a challenge
<\/strong>Another recommendation that I have that I think is going to carry people through to the next couple of months here as we transition slowly out of what’s called the disillusionment phase and into reconstruction and recovery, is focusing on shifting our thinking from a threat<\/em> to a challenge<\/em>. The disaster has been a threat. And there’s only three things you can do when you’re confronted with the threat, you can run, hide or fight.<\/p>\n

When you are confronted with a challenge,\u00a0you can pick it apart and overcome it.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.9.3″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”Source Sans Pro||||||||” min_height=”65px” custom_margin=”0px||0px||false|false” custom_padding=”0px||0px|10px|false|false” border_width_left=”2px” border_color_left=”#2d94e3″]<\/p>\n

So we owe it to ourselves and to our kids to try and get our bodies and our brains to respond to all of these changes as challenges to be overcome rather than threats to respond to. And if we can do that, we’re going to feel a lot better.<\/p>\n
