Somatic brain · Physical Discomfort & Depletion as Leverage
Relaxation & Sedation Traps
Cosy lounges, soft seating, low light and drinks lower vigilance; the sedated state is pleasant and the questions you would ask in a bright office do not get asked.
An everyday example
An audit meeting moved to the executive lounge with sofas and wine.
What it can cost you
Skipping scrutiny because the setting makes scrutiny feel rude or effortful.
Warning signs
- Asking a hard question feels like breaking the mood.
- I am more comfortable than alert.
One thing to do
Do the review part in a working setting; move to the lounge afterwards.
