Productivity advice works-and we need it now more than ever-but it's just as important that we also develop our capacity for calm. By finding calm and overcoming anxiety, we don't just feel more comfortable in our own skin, we invest in the missing piece that leads our efforts to become sustainable over time. We build a deeper, more expansive reservoir of energy to draw from throughout the day, and have greater mental resources at our disposal to not only do good work, but to also live a good life. Among the topics How to Calm Your Mind covers are how analog and digital worlds affect calm and anxiety in different ways; how our desire for dopamine, a neurotransmitter in our brain that leads us to feel overstimulated, breeds anxiety, dissatisfaction, and needless stress, but can be countered by other neurochemicals; how hidden sources of stress can be tamed by a "stimulation fast"; and how "busyness" is as much a state of mind as it is an actual state of life. The pursuit of calm ultimately leads us to become more engaged, focused, and deliberate-while making us more productive and satisfied with our lives overall. In an anxious world, achieving calm is the best life hack around"-- $c Provided by publisher. 941 $a 8 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20231010032006.0 952 $l DMPC403 $d 20230427010051.0 952 $l UJPE911 $d 20230420010640.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20230302012503.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20230207011141.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20230203010305.0 952 $l CDPF771 $d 20230111010145.0 952 $l TDPH826 $d 20230104010725.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=766B5C1C8BFD11ED81B8056D56ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
