TEDx "Settle Down, Pay Attention, Say Thank you: Stress, Anxiety & Mindfullness"

Today, I listened to a Tedx by Dr Kirsten Race, a brain scientist and expert on stress reduction.  Dr Race also teaches individuals to lead less stressful lives through mindfulness. 

Settle Down, Pay Attention, Say Thank you was the title of the talk, which can be viewed by clicking on the Tedx provided.  It got me thinking about how anxious we can all become, from a child to adult.  How stress affects each and every one of us and how mindfulness could help.  In turn, this also got me thinking about school, college and university based staff who teach. These, too, become stressed and anxious, who, often do not seek guidance on making their lives less stressful and exploring how they may cope better in times of difficulty on a daily basis.

It is never too late to learn, simple, practical user friendly strategies that everyone can use, whether at home, the classroom,  the lecture hall or even the car.

Dr Race, discusses many great points and valuable tools that can be learnt, whilst identifying the importance of taking care of the self, before being able to cope with a child’s anxiety.  This is also true of college student and university students.  They need to be mindful, to have the ability to think and act positively with kindness.  This is essential to be able to live, a semi stress less life.  Dr Races’ tips are very effective, each of us has this ability, we just need to recognise it.

Being more mindful, encourages those around us to absorb the peace and impacts upon behaviour.  So I urge you to Settle Down, Pay Attention, Say Thank you.
