Key Points
- Mushrooms, particularly Reishi, can help mitigate the stimulating effects of caffeine by reducing cortisol levels, promoting a balanced state of alertness and relaxation.
- Effective self-care and mindfulness practices, such as deliberate breathing and integrating micro-mindfulness moments throughout the day, are essential for recharging one's mental and physical batteries, especially in high-stress environments.
- Building resilient teams requires fostering a supportive culture where self-care is normalized and expected, rather than relying on checkbox training or superficial measures.
