Cory Richards and CJ speak candidly with mindfulness expert and Wisdom Labs CEO, Cory Smith. In today’s episode, they discuss tools and practices that listeners can utilize to deal with the cognitive load that many currently feel burdened with. They cover topics such as fight or flight response, parasympathetic nervous system, deep-breathing, how to ground yourself, negativity bias, and the 3 W’s.
Wisdom Labs provides science-based learning and offers solutions for developing mental, emotional, and social wellbeing in the workplace.
