Stress Boost: What four Minutes Can Change

This week, we're joined by Charla Mckenzie, an MBA student, single mom to a fifteen month old, and a self-described overthinker who says she's currently swimming with her head just above water as she heads into midterm season. In class, we ran students through twenty minutes of chaos, then a four-minute centering practice, and had them list their emotions after each. Charla's two lists barely looked like the same person, proving that we can change our stress state quickly, and easily. She also talks about what she lets slide (aka strategically neglects) when there isn't time for everything, and what parenting has taught her about what’s truly important.
