How to Mentally Reset After a Tough Shift
This transcript has been edited for clarity. How to mentally reset after a tough shift? It's essential for maintaining your well-being and your performance. Start by taking a few moments to debrief. Reflect on what went well, what challenged you, and what you can improve. Writing down your thoughts or discussing the shift with a trusted colleague can provide valuable perspective. Next, try to engage in grounding exercises such as deep breathing, relaxation, mindfulness, or meditation to calm down your nervous system. Physical movement like stretching, yoga, or a short walk can also help release built-up tension. Last, disconnect from work.
