7-Day brainWORK to Rise Above the Panic
FOR THE WORKSHOP: DOWNLOAD THE STRESS TEST
During Dr. Romie’s live workshop, you will be asked to download and take this stress test. Dr. Romie will walk you through the process, questions, and how to score your results.
* Do not worry, you will not be sharing your personal results with anyone, this exercise is created for you to assess how stress may be affecting your physical, cognitive, and emotional well-being.
YOUR 7-DAY SELF-REFLECTION PROGRAM
We train our brains to face F.E.A.R.- false evidence appearing real. In the next 7 days our suggestion is that you find time to step away from digital devices and pause for self-reflection. The writing prompts in the handout are helpful in processing your thoughts, day, and emotions.
- Schedule time (ideally in the evening) to step away from your digital devices for 20-30 minutes.
- Print out and follow the daily writing prompts. You can write directly on the sheet or in a journal.
- Download and listen to the following guided meditations.
MEDITATION IS MEDICINE FOR THE MIND
Meditation has been scientifically proven to reduce inflammation in the brain (thus reducing the negative impact of daily stress on our brains and physical well-being). During times of panic, the Loving-Kindness meditation (Meta Bhavana) helps us to foster compassion. We have included an additional and optional meditation to help with preparing for sleep.
WHAT DO YOU DO ON DAY 7?
Thank you for the commitment to help your team members process their stress as we work from home and risk feeling disconnected from one another. We recommend setting up an accountability system to remind your team members to give the 7-day challenge a try.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR LEADERS:
- Encourage everyone to commit to digital detox every night for the next 7 days (this includes avoiding all smart TVs, smart tablets, computers and smart phones.
- In your daily or weekly meetings ask people to answer one of the mindful leadership prompts in the handout. These conversations are meant to help every team member on a virtual call give a 1-2 minute answer, and foster a positive mental attitude.
- What is one thing that inspired you today?
- Who are you grateful for, and did you express the gratitude today
- What made you happy today?
- At day 7 encourage everyone to download and repeat the stress test to see if their number has changed.
