Do you struggle with turning your mind off in order to sleep?In this video, I review how to deal with a chattering mind. I teach you how to stop yourself from getting hooked by, fused with, or caught up in your thoughts, worries, ruminations, and feelings when trying to sleep.With practice, you will strengthen a function of your mind known as Meta-Cognition (aka the Observing Self). Over time, you’ll find that you’ll be less and less of a victim to your mind’s whims when you try to sleep.This is the first video in my last series of videos on the 3rd major cause of suboptimal sleep, Cognitive Over-Activation.​​Note, this is also one of the best strategies to help you deal with unhelpful thoughts (e.g., worry and rumination) and feelings (e.g., irritability, anxiety, low mood) during the day that pull you away from the present moment or what you should be focusing on.PERFORM AT YOUR GREATEST POTENTIAL by Optimizing Your Psychology, Physiology, & NeurologyBy blending neuroscience, physiology, and peak performance strategies we help #leaders​, talent, #athletes​, and organizations overcome these barriers and achieve results they’ve never seen before.Visit us at https://DrChrisFriesen.com​Author, Speaker, Sport & Performance Neuropsychologist, Executive Coach, Clinical Psychologist, and Clinical Neuropsychologist.Author of #ACHIEVE​: Find Out Who You Are, What You Really Want, and How To Make It Happen.To read the first 2 chapters of ACHIEVE, click here: http://ow.ly/UCwT30rqVL9​To download 5 Things You Should Be Doing Every Day to Boost Performance, click here: https://bit.ly/3bsI0uy​For keynotes, talks, webinars, corporate training, etc., please visit https://DrChrisFriesen.com​All other pictures, B-roll, and music courtesy of https://www.storyblocks.com/Disclaimer:Dr. Friesen is a registered clinical psychologist, neuropsychologist, and forensic psychologist in the province of Ontario, Canada and this video is for informational purposes only.

How do you develop resilience and change your mindset with executive coach Michael O’Brien [Video]

When life throws you curveballs and doesn’t go as planned, what are your reactions and response? Do you give up? Do you spend some time wading through defeat and disappointment before picking yourself back up?For this week’s episode of the Weekend Wellness Hour show, we discussed resilience and mindset with executive coach Michael O’Brien. Michael was a healthcare executive suite leader whose life changed when he was hit head on by a speeding SUV during a bike ride.Michael shared the physical trauma of his accident and the corresponding mental and emotional despair that followed, especially when his physicians gave him a grim future and told him he wouldn’t walk normally again. After a good talk with a friend, he learned that he had to change his mindset. He had to focus on what he could change. He developed resilience. Michael explained his process of Pause Breathe Reflect that helped him regain strength and mobility. He shared his comeback and his return to work and his life. We touched on how to fight the resistance inside us that keeps us in our fears. Michael shared his mental process of small changes at a time to shift habits. Michael is currently the Chief Shift Officer at Peloton Executive Coaching. He has shared his personal transformational Last Bad Day story and leadership advice on the TEDx stage, with Fortune 500 companies, Entrepreneur, Fast Company, Real Simple, ABC, and NBC.Please join us to learn about resilience and how to change your mindset to have your last bad day!
