Need a quick calming mindfulness exercise? Chibs Okereke, the stress expert on the Calm app, has you covered. We were fortunate enough to experience a dose of calm ourselves through his quick exercise.
Chibs is a stress and burnout specialist, Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction facilitator, former founder, and reformed striver!
He provides practical mindfulness tools to help organisations and individuals reduce stress and burnout.
Chibs is also a voice on the app Calm. On Calm, you’ll find a number of his work-stress meditations designed to build resilience and improve well-being by promoting better sleep, reducing stress and anxiety, and developing more mindfulness.
After a severe burnout that had disastrous effects on his mental health, Chibs left corporate to reset, recover, and repair the damage to his health.
During his time off, he discovered practical, scientifically validated tools and techniques to overcome stress, overwhelm, difficult emotions, negative thinking, and overthinking. He then made it his mission to share these tools with others.
Chibs has created a unique framework. He has integrated MBSR techniques from the University of Massachusetts Medical School, positive psychology tools, and years of hands-on experience working with the Vagus Nerve and nervous system."
