And yeah, so can you talk to me about those two things, the diagnosis and the boss who thinks there's only one way?

Let's just start with the second question because I love it.

Leaders would never think that it's important to invest in happiness.

And once we show them that productivity and effectiveness can actually increase, that sales will increase, then they're like, okay, show me.

Let's see.

Let's see.

That's the only way we would convince a big leader to actually adopt time, invest time, because the data is super clear.

Can you tell me all about it?

So are you willing to share some of those here today?

All of them, if we would have the time.

But the beautiful thing about this, Melissa, is that we just need to be receptive.

You've talked about breathwork so much, and it's one of the most amazing keys.

When we ask our participants to be conscious of how they breathe and how they could breathe, that already can make so much difference.

When we are stressed, we usually tend to breathe fast.

or breathe through the mouth.

So I would love for you to share about that too.

Uh, what is actually happening in the brain when someone moves from a normal workplace stress into a chronic stress and eventually burnout?

Oh, that is a magnificent question.

Like I said, once again, the machine of the body, uh, of the brain is perfect.

It's actually created for stress.

It is created for anxiety, for depression in short amounts because that tells the brain, "Hey, something is not working.

Fix it." The same way that you get a burn and you're, "Oh, oh, oh, I, I need to take my hand out of this stove so it's not burnt anymore," and then the body starts healing.

Now, just imagine if you hand is always under the stove.

What are the three things I can do tomorrow morning to change things?

And it's sort of, you know, I think the happiness and compassion are sort of really closely entwined there.

Isn't it a beautiful word? It's such a beautiful word.

And it's something that we miss.

And it can be easily confused with self-love, with self-happiness.

I think those words are so intertwined.

Stan, love, happiness, compassion, gratitude, forgiveness.

They all have a little bit in common.

the sting in the tail isn't it you know if we can bring self-compassion instead you've given a few actually well you've given several very practical things that people might do but I thought I'd ask you at the end now if someone's listening and maybe they're a leader or manager or maybe they're part of the team but they wanted to make their workplace a little happier maybe a little bit more compassionate where would you suggest they start
