Ep. 39 - Stress Statistics & The Benefits of Reducing Stress

Feeling stressed or burnt out? In this episode of Shut Up and Sit, Yedda welcomes Eric Brown to shut up and sit down with her to dive into chapter 7 which talks about stress and the relationship between mindfulness and stress reduction. Eric shares insight into the stress he was experiencing in his professional life, as an entrepreneur, and how he began to integrate mindfulness practices into his life to get to the root cause of his stress and ultimately decrease stress.

Listen in to hear how Eric’s business has changed as a result of implementing more mindfulness into his life and in his business. You’ll learn how mindfulness is a critical component of being a great leader and entrepreneur, especially when you encounter the inevitable financial struggles that come with owning your own business.

“The biggest thing was just not reacting to it, just taking a moment to stop and think the thought and how to think about the thought. Once I started to change the thoughts, I didn’t react the way I naturally had reacted so much before.” - Eric

Stress is often caused by the mind focusing on negative or fearful thoughts. When you sit still in silence, you’re able to shift your focus onto the positive and empowering thoughts, enabling you to show up in the world as your best self. 

“Your business outwardly is a manifestation of who you are inwardly.” - Yedda
