Do you work in a high-stress job?
Is your day packed with back-to-back meetings—some with people who aren’t exactly the easiest to deal with?
Or maybe you spend hours in front of a screen with little human interaction (which can be stressful in its own way)?
If any of this sounds familiar, you’re not alone. Stress might feel like an unavoidable part of your daily routine. I get it—I’ve been there too (and still am to some degree).
FREE Self-Test: How Spiritual Are You?
Early in my career, I hopped between jobs, and every single one came with its own kind of stress. At one point, my anxiety got so bad that I had trouble sleeping. I even had to take medication just to quiet my mind at night because the thought of facing another workday felt unbearable.
Sometimes, we find ourselves in situations we can’t change right away—like being stuck in a job that drains us or dealing with people who test our patience daily.
If quitting isn’t an option (yet), we need tools to help us manage stress in the moment. That’s why I want to share a simple method that has helped me stay centered, no matter what’s happening around me.
It’s called the C.A.L.M. Technique, and it’s an easy way to shift into a meditative state and bring instant relief to your nervous system.
