How to Calm Your Mind and Be More Productive with Chris Bailey

January 10, 2023 Leave a Comment

In this Episode with Chris Bailey, you’ll learn:

  • How we often feed the wrong wolf without even realizing it
  • What some of the hidden sources of stress in modern day society
  • How many stressors have become so familiar, we don’t even recognize the stress they cause
  • How we can learn to bring more calm into our lives by practicing being present
  • Why calming our minds leads to more productivity and less anxiety

“We need to find a way to invest in overcoming this level of anxiety in our lives, the more calm we can find. We can go past the point of no anxiety, towards the point of calm, and feel even better and have more of a capacity to absorb stress that comes our way.” – Chris Bailey
