Upcoming Chamber Member Seminars:
Wednesday September 24th – Marilyn Burgos: Evolve Well Center
The Importance of Nervous System Harmonization in the Workplace
Whether we’re working remotely or in the office, everyday stressors can easily push us into “fight or flight” mode. When we get stuck in this cycle, it can lead to chronic frustration, muscle tension, digestive issues, headaches, and persistent negative thoughts.
In this mini workshop, you’ll learn practical coping strategies—using breathwork, mindful movement, and affirmations—to harmonize your nervous system and calm your amygdala (the brain’s “alarm system”). By quieting this stress response, your logical thinking can re-engage, allowing for clearer decision-making, sharper focus, and improved productivity.
You’ll walk away with tips and tricks to help keep your nervous system in harmony.
