Get Calm with a Vagus Nerve Vacation

Mini Vaca #7

Hope you’re having a great Summer so far! Whether you’ve been able to go on a vacation, are looking forward to one soon or not going to be able to get away this season, I wanted to give you a quick Vagus Vacation!  Not to be confused with Vegas Vacation, that’s a whole different kind of party!

You may already know the vagus nerve is the longest cranial nerve that connects to the lungs, heart and gut.  The coolest thing about this nerve is it’s part of the parasympathetic nervous system (yay for rest and digest/rest and restore!) and there are ways we can get calm in parasympathetic mode vs. being in fight or flight or sympathetic mode.  While sympathetic mode can be useful when facing real danger, unfortunately, we go into fight or flight mode much more than we need to and get that extra unnecessary extra jolt of cortisol.

Here are 7 simple ways you can take a mini vacation to feed your mind, body and spirit…AKA your TRIESSENCE.

  • Exhale longer than your inhale
  • Hum, sing or gargle
  • Take a cold shower
  • Exercise
  • Laugh
  • Massage behind the middle of your ears and the spots under sides of chin where you feel your heartbeat
  • Massage your ears from top to bottom and gently pull on your earlobes

Let me know how you liked your little mini vaca.  Or, any of your other getaways.  Smiles and sunset photos welcome 🙂 This is me doing mini vaca #7 in my hotel room in North Carolina as I prepare to get to speak to a group of CEO’s.

If I can help you or your team grow your TRIESSENCE, please let us know. Whether it’s bringing me to speak in person worldwide, virtually or coming to see us at our new RETREAT CENTER in Texas, we’d love it! You can use our CONTACT PAGE to get in touch.

Take extra good care of you,
– Tessa Todd Morgan

Virtual Stress Relief Training

What a year, good ole 2020! You know what though? We couldn’t be more grateful for a busy end of the year and getting to work with more great companies bringing in some virtual stress relief for their teams.

The really fun part about some of our Q4 events is they immediately started conversations with Tessa Todd Morgan around what we can pick back up in 2021 for more training. These are the teams we love working with because they truly care about their teams livelihood and making sure they achieve more work/life balance in a time where stress relief and mindfulness is needed more than ever.

I’d love to say at midnight tonight things are all going to change and it will be the best year ever. But, we all know we are going to wake up tomorrow and there’s still Covid, we will still be working from home and there will still be deadlines and stress.

It’s up to us to take care of ourselves physically, mentally and spiritually to make sure we are our best selves for the things and people we care about the most.

Special shout out to Bravo! Group Services, SG Companies and Buckingham for trusting us with your wonderful teams.

We wish all of our wonderful clients we’ve had the honor of serving and those of you that we haven’t yet a Happy and Healthy New Year and pray that you make a commitment in 2021 to take good care of you.

Much love,

TRIESSENCE

Virtual Mindfulness Training

TRIESSENCE and virtual speaker Tessa Todd Morgan were thrilled to wrap up a great week with the opportunity to speak to over 7,500 people on various virtual platforms.

We love seeing that top level executives are really starting to care for the human beings that they have working for them and are wanting to provide some virtual mindfulness training and let them learn what mindfulness in the workplace is all about. Being able to provide stress relief training is crucial during this time.

When we see great companies like Sally Beauty, CosmoProf, Ensono and GCM Grosvenor take advantage of virtual training, it makes us super happy and honored to be a part of such wonderful events.

We are looking forward to being with United Valley Insurance Services next week and then Allstate and Tobii Dynavox the following. We love getting to work with teams a 2nd time and Tessa is looking very forward to being with Tobii once more! It is an honor to get to work with Think Neu Events again too because they take such great care of their clients and Tobii Dynavox is a great example of their amazing work and partnerships!

As a personal development speaker and mindfulness speaker, Tessa is always excited any chance she gets to have every individual look within to see the important new changes they can make in their lives. During these times, we need all the help we can get to stay positive and optimistic and we would love to help your team anytime. Give mindfulness speaker Tessa Morgan a call!

Tessa Todd Morgan Virtual Presentation

Tessa Todd Morgan had a great time getting to virtually be with the team at Mississippi Power for a 90 minute workshop (pictured above!) and is thrilled to be a part of the HR C-Suite virtual Summit this week! HR and business leaders…won’t you join us for this wonderful event!? She will be sharing tips and tools by doing some virtual stress relief, mindfulness and discussing ways to take better care of yourself physically, mentally and spiritually.

As if Human Resources didn’t already have one of the most important and challenging roles, we are thrilled to be able to help discuss ways to lower stress and make self care a top priority. Not only will you benefit greatly, but, so will your team when you take good care of you. Despite your circumstances, you can still find ways to live life to the fullest so that you can be the best version of yourself and get your ROAR on! If we don’t take care of ourselves, we certainly can’t be the best for others.

Despite what 2020 has thrown at us, we can still be strong and courageous and make decisions for how we wanna show up the rest of the year. If you’d like to join us, we’d love to have you at the ROAR Virtual Summit 2020!

Corporate Mindfulness Training with Tessa Todd Morgan

Taiho Oncology

Taiho Oncology got to participate in Corporate Mindfulness Training by Tessa Todd Morgan on February 6, 2020. The event took place on Amelia Island at the Omni in Florida.

Tessa Morgan was the keynote speaker for the sales team and staff around taking better care of themselves physically, mentally and spiritually. Following the keynote, we were able to dive deeper with the home office staff by helping them grow their TRIESSENCE. Tessa conducted a 5 hour workshop with them “Find Your TRIESSENCE” where attendees got to look further into their personal and professional lives. They were able to make some new decisions around how they would like to move forward in order to live their lives to their fullest potential!

Tessa is extremely passionate about teaching people in the corporate world about self care. We aren’t talking about rocket science here, but it’s something that needs to be top priority! Unfortunately, we often put it at the bottom our to do lists and our health and wellness ends up suffering as a result!

TRIESSENCE offers Corporate Mindfulness Training for groups all over. But, when we get a chance to work with a group like this it is a true honor. We love working with teams that are out making such a big difference in the lives of others.

Taiho Oncology’s mission is to improve the lives of cancer patients, their families, and their caregivers.

Whether it’s their patients or employees, people come first at Taiho. The compassion they practice for their patients extends to their team. They empower and motivate them to do their best work for those who need it most.

TRIESSENCE loves FEEDBACK!

It was a joy to get the following feedback after the event from one of their VP’s:

“The feedback I received from my team regarding your presentation has been so positive I can’t thank you enough for your time.  My group really appreciated that we took time to think of their well being and how to help them both personally and professionally. Simply put, You were amazing!!”

Tessa Todd Morgan speaking at Greystar Management Services Leadership Conference

Motivational Speaker Tessa Morgan is thrilled to be speaking tomorrow at the Greystar Management Services Leadership Conference in Orlando.

To be able to teach these leaders who take care of so many self care techniques, stress management, personal development and mindfulness in the workplace is a true honor for tessa.

Here’s a description of what she will cover with them:

FIND YOUR TRIESSENCE: A three-part personal growth plan


Personal growth, empowerment and the ability to live up to our full potential are all things we desire for ourselves. Often, however, the barriers to fulfilling those desires are self-created, either actively, or through channels of which we are completely unaware.

This program is designed to re-ignite passion, and identify action steps for achieving the goals in life that you want to accomplish by using simple mindfulness techniques.

TRIESSENCE:  /trī/esəns/ (noun)

The perfect balance between the three elements of your true essence—physical, mental and spiritual. Aligning these three states results in happiness, fulfilling relationships, health, success, love and joy. 

After many years of training and working with business leaders, yogis, entrepreneurs, celebrities, management experts, and countless people searching for what is missing in their lives, Tessa has learned the importance of true balance—and how to achieve it.  

In this program, Tessa shares the tools and techniques she has learned along her journey in finding true joy and fulfillment in her life pursuing personal and professional growth. Through personal anecdotes and professional research, Tessa covers all three areas of critical attention with light-hearted grace.

Through the use of specific, mindful tactics, you will learn how to:
– Take better care of yourself physically, mentally and spiritually so you can be the best version of you 
– Use a simple three step process to become less stressed and more productive
– Make a new decision in order to live out your greatness you were born to be!

You are capable of amazing things, but are also capable of subconsciously limiting your own successes. Tessa helps you realize where your life has potential for nurturing, and then gives you the tools to find results quickly.  

If you are not familiar with Greystar and their amazing properties, be sure and check them out!

She is honored to have a chance to work with a company with such incredible values:

Integrity
We will stay true to the highest ethical standards and principles, and be honest, trustworthy and humble in all of our words and actions.

Respect
We will accept and value our individual differences, and show genuine consideration for the thoughts, needs, and ideas of others.

Professionalism 
We will proudly present a positive, dignified, and businesslike image at all times through our appearances, behavior, and interactions with others.

Accountability
We will take responsibility and accept ownership for our works, actions, tasks, and results, and respectfully hold others to the same standard.

Service
We will make service our top priority by giving our time, knowledge, and experience to serve the needs of our customers, community, and team members.

Teamwork 
We will work together to accomplish goals, solve problems, and enrich our work environment.

Tessa Todd Morgan speaking at 2020 Senior Student Affairs Officers Conference in DC

2020 ACCU Annual Meeting
“The Agile SSAO: Adaptively Serving Our Students in Challenging Times”

The ACCU Senior Student Affairs Officers Conference offers a networking space for professionals at Catholic colleges and universities, where colleagues share ideas, resources, and best practices related to the urgent challenges SSAOs are facing. The 2020 conference will also offer an opportunity to refresh and recharge to be able to focus on the mission in our daily work. Join us for discussions on mindfulness for leaders, a mission-centered lens of leadership and leading in challenging times, and the work of student affairs professionals in the future.

Mindfulness for Adaptive Leaders

Because we are servant leaders pulled in many directions, it’s easy for our own self-care to fall to the bottom of our “to do” lists. But our students and staff watch us and often emulate our behaviors. This session is meant to provide SSAOs with the quiet and safe space to reflect on our self-care behaviors and recommit to our own well-being. Leaders know it can be lonely at the top, but we can’t serve others if we don’t take care of ourselves.

Tessa Todd Morgan, founder and CEO of TRIESSENCE, mindfulness expert, personal growth coach, and accredited trainer in Emotional Intelligence is honored to be a part of such a wonderful event to help bring self-care to those who need it most.
