Dr. Karen, Reactions occur first in our bodies. We first have to attend to our physical state which has a major impact on our body tension. Here are the basics to get in shape to stay non-reactive: · Get enough rest; most of us are typically sleep deprived especially when: o When there are deadlines or month-end recurring get enough sleep o Keep alcohol consumption down · Eat protein at every meal and snack where possible o Sugary snacks are no-no’s; you get a high and then a let down o Nuts, yogurt, cheese and high-protein bars don’t give you spikes in blood sugar · Drink 6-8 glasses of water a day; tea and coffee don’t count · Control the caffeine in coffee and tea; o Use green tea or herbal teas o Eat some protein and fat with caffeine to lessen the sugar “hit” on your system · Cut out carbonated colas and soda pop; o The high caffeine content, sugar, or fake sugar, are not healthy for you. o The Phosphoric Acid in sodas can deplete your bone mass causing osteoporosis o The over carbonation can make you “over carbonated” at work. · Keep your muscles relaxed o Work out or stretch regularly o Lean back in your chair during meetings
o
If you find yourself
reacting strongly get up and walk around for ten minutes; that’s enough
time to calm down
