As we round out the first quarter of the year, there is an opportunity for HR professionals to check in with their employees on their financials and to help keep them on track for the next nine months (and hopefully, beyond!). Some of the most common New Year’s resolutions’ deal with getting in physical or financial shape; while these healthy habits come easily with the renewed ambition that only a fresh start can bring, they become less of a priority as the warm weather creeps up and offers more exciting ways to spend time – and money.

A new field of neuroscience has emerged in the last ten years that has mapped the mental zone that can literally change the brain to quiet an overly active stress response system and simultaneously pave the way for higher brain networks to perform at optimum. The more we function from this mental zone, the less we stress, and the more our brain delivers the intelligence to succeed. When these higher networks wire and fire together, humming away happily at the brain speed of a hundred million computer instructions per second, we not only succeed, we excel at every level of life: from career to family, from physical and emotional well-being to fully actualizing our talent. It’s a brain generating the analytic and creative intelligence to achieve our goals, along with the emotional and social intelligence to instill joy in our work, peace in our life, and harmony in our relationships. It generates the homeostasis that promotes health and longevity.
