4 Ways to Quickly Reduce the Stress of Working in Public Health (Even on Busy Days)

Описание: If you work in public health, you’re not just “busy” — you’re often operating in a constant state of urgency. And when that urgency hits, it can feel like your brain speeds up, your body tenses, and your ability to think clearly goes out the window.

In this video, I’m going to share 4 simple nervous system regulation tools to quickly reduce stress on busy public health days — even if you only have 60 seconds.

We’ll talk about what stress actually is (not just an emotion, but a physiological threat response), and then I’ll walk you through quick somatic tools that help your brain dial down fight, flight, or freeze so you can focus, think more critically, and make better decisions.

You’ll learn what stress really is (and why it shows up as sweating, racing heart, procrastination, or irritability)

And we’ll dive into tips to help you regulate your response, including:
A cold water tool you can do at your desk
A quick breathing exercise to slow the stress response
A bilateral stimulation technique to calm your body fast
A grounding exercise you can use anywhere

This Video is Perfect For You If:

You feel “stressed” at work and your brain speeds up or shuts down
You notice physical symptoms like tension, racing heart, sweating, or irritability
You procrastinate or avoid tasks when you’re overwhelmed
