Mandy is originally from the UK. She travelled in her late 20’s including to Australia later moving here. She represented Aust in sport, and has been on the SSC for eight years.
Feeling stressed, overwhelmed, anxious?
(well it’s still early in the talk)
Well welcome to humanity.
When you’re stressed you can’t function.
Mandy has travelled the world - people in Africa with nothing are happy, business high flyers are stressed. She has competed in the Hawaii iron man triathlon where she met her match in 38º heat on a lava field, and in the mountains near Nice where 30% didn’t finish (doesn’t sound so nice)
But her body “fell apart” and she couldn’t walk - the top phisios were no help. This was 16-17 years ago. She had relationship problems
She turned her life around, came to the Coast, & met a new man
Mandy said she would give us two simple techniques to help based on neuro-plasticity
When you wake up, think “what are we doing today?” How do you want to be? eg. fun, focussed. Think about your deepest value. Make a quick statement eg. breathe in calm, breathe out stress. Stopping once an hour for one minute to meditate equals a 20 minute.session. Harvard research shows that after 120 days people felt better
Write down three of your successes at the end of each day. We are hard wired to look for negatives eg. what we missed. The brain rewards with dopamine. It takes 30 days to break patterns. A NASA experiment stressed people by making them wear goggles which reversed their vision (up to down) - after 30 days, all had adjusted.
Directors
Helen asked those who joined from another Club to put their original joining date on the RI data management system. RC Caloundra will be 60 in October.
Sergeant Gerry sorted us out with a lot of lies and only a little bit of truth.
