Description

Today we talk about avoiding a state of constant yellow alert.

Signs you may be in a constant state of alert:

1. Audit your texts, emails, etc for constant "urgent" language. How often are you on alert?
2. Check your diet, relationships, etc - is your work putting these things in a stressed state?
3. If you feel like you must always be connected to some kind of messaging system (email, Slack, texts, etc), this may point to a problem
