Ashley maintains that Your Body Will Always Reveal What Your Intellect Can’t Express.

Today 84% of American adults report feeling emotions connected to chronic stress. When we don’t properly recover from stressful episodes, we continue absorbing stress unconsciously and it builds up in the body. Next time your body is filled with the sensations of stress, notice what you're noticing. And DO NOT to force yourself to relax immediately after a stressful situation. This is when your brain will run wild with stories that have you blaming, shaming and judging yourself. Do mindful movement instead— with attention and intention to move your awareness from the stressor. Think of this as a cool down exercise. 🆒 ⬇️ 📌 Here are 3 ways that you can learn more about transforming your approach to work, wellbeing, and creating an engaged workforce. 1️⃣ Check out Recess On Demand, Play Breaks for the Brain & Body: https://recess-in-the-club-with-ashley.mn.co/share/6pk7ov0gX8vVRe-M?utm_source=manual 2️⃣ The complimentary Vital Body Assessment will help you learn more about how you can break through the cycle of burnout and develop the habits of a healthy, happy leader: https://forms.gle/JZeVpcXXDH84r99x5 3️⃣ More workers now value wellbeing over professional success.
