Passage Two
In today’s frenetic workplace, where distractions are constant and competition is often fierce, stress has never been higher. From panic attacks and anxiety to poor sleep, acid reflux, high blood pressure and strokes, stress is causing our bodies to mentally and physically shut down, according to Dr. Tara Swart, neuroscientist and co-author of “Neuroscience for Leadership”.
Instead of telling us what we shouldn’t be doing, Swart has noted a few telltale signs we need to watch out for, signs that we’re letting stress get to us. Some of the physical signs include fatigue, muscular aches and pains, and flu and colds that are lingering longer—a sign that stress is starting to erode your immune system, she said. 71) Other physical symptoms include problems related to the gut and limbic system of the brain—things like heartburn, reflux and irritable bowel syndrome can be signs of stress as well. Sometimes, stress can send us spiraling into survival mode, as Swart calls it. 72) Being irritable and moody are also signs that stress is getting to us. 73) Aerobic exercise helps, says Swart, as it releases endorphins (内啡肽)and reduces our cortisol (皮质醇)levels. But other, less physically demanding steps need to be also taken： talking to a friend or psychologist, getting adequate sleep, staying well-hydrated and practicing some type of mindfulness will all help reduce our stress, she said.
74) From Oprah Winfrey to Rupert Murdoch and Arianna Huffington to Russell Simmons, it seems these high-achieving individuals know a thing or two about how to cope with stress. Michael Chaskalson, founder and CEO of Mindfulness Works and author of uMindfulness in 8 Weeks'1, coaches senior people in mindfulness skills to better manage pressures of work. In doing so, he claims his clients become more emotionally alert, more empathic and they have higher levels of concentration and creativity. 75) With the right approach, walking, even running (in a mindful way) , staring out the window, just taking a break, will help leaders not only perform better, but there’s evidence that it
will improve an organization’s overall health and effectiveness.
A. A lot of mental and emotional issues actually manifest with physical symptoms, she said.
B. We crave high-sugar foods and caffeine, thinking it will make us feel better but actually “it makes us more anxious”.
C. It doesn’t have to be yoga or meditation, Chaskalson says.
D. Many well-known leaders and CEOs have praised meditation and mindfulness as part of their ongoing success.
E. How to combat all this?
F. Stress makes muscles ache, warns Swart, so watch out for “that feeling when you’ve been running” where the lactic acid builds up.
