Remix of a favourite episode to improve sound quality and align with the 2024 Self Care Challenge.

In this episode Liz and Jesse are joined by physiotherapist and stress and tactical performance researcher, Professor Rob Orr from Bond University.

Rob's Five Things:

  1. Not all stress is bad.
  2. Your body and personality are naturally affected by stress, learn your personal “tells” on how you manifest stressors.
  3. The relationship between stress and performance is task specific.
  4. Long term stress has health and psychological consequences, coping mechanisms can only get you so far.
  5. There are basic things we can do to manage acute stress – physiologically such as controlled breathing techniques and psychologically such as message framing.
