How to Recover from an Emotional Hangover

ARCHITECTING Podcast - Career + Lifestyle Mentoring for Architects looking to move beyond overwhelm and make a difference through design

Emotional Hangovers are the residual toxicity of stressful experiences. Listen in to learn more about how to avoid them and how you can recover more quickly when you do overindulge in stress.

1. Your definition of chaos changes as you grow and expand your capacity to take things on. Be mindful of that corresponding expansion of stressors
2. Stress shifts our body into survival mode which makes it more difficult to focus on anything but having our needs met. Look beyond your own experience of a situation to meet others where they are instead of judging them based on your experience of their actions.
3. Stress is amplified by lack based thinking. Feeling that you or your accomplishments are not good enough blocks you from being able to appreciate where you are.
4. To stay anchored in the chaos storm, practice gratitude, focus on the growth in your struggles, and stay focused on taking action based on your mission.
5. Stop feeling responsible for other people's action. It is not your responsibility to drag them across the finish line. Instead, of feeling anger, guilt or shame, focus on how you could do things better.
