Resilience Tactics

Resilience Tactics Stay Sharp, Steady & Well™ with real-time, tactical nervous system tools Hi, I’m Sharmila, creator of Performance & Resilience Tactics.

I help individuals and high-intensity professionals optimize performance and well-being using science-backed, real-time mind-body tools. With a background as a Physical Therapist, Yoga & Meditation Teacher, and Clinical Hypnotherapist, I I combine mind-body practices and neuroscience to help you get into your optimal bandwidth, sync your brain and body, and build long-term resilience. If you're always “on,” my tools are designed to help you downshift, regulate, and reset—so you can thrive on the job and in life.

🌿 Validation.
In a recent South Asian wellness workshop that I co-taught, I shared something deeply personal: I have never truly felt like I fit in — always straddling the many nuances of two different cultures.
Back in my childhood, there weren’t enough resources or knowledge — and validation was what I needed most, but rarely found.
I see the same thing missing now — across the board, including in wellness spaces. We’re so busy keeping up, competing, or pushing through that we forget how powerful it is to simply recognize the state we are in right now.
👉🏼Because the state we’re currently in drives how we think, feel, show up, connect, and perform.
✔️That’s why one of the first things I do in Performance & Resilience Tactics (PRT) is share my 3 Gears Model — a simple framework that gives us language to validate our current state, so we can meet ourselves (and each other) with more understanding.
✨Validation isn’t soft — it’s the first step to resilience and lasting performance.

❗️You’ve probably heard the phrase "sitting is the new smoking." Even if you exercise outside of work, it doesn’t undo sitting for hours and hours on the job.

👉🏼The same goes for being in high gear all day. Wellness outside of work is important, but it doesn’t erase hours of running on high alert.

👉🏼That’s why I teach Mini Downshifts— quick, tactical resets you can use in real time, so your system doesn’t stay stuck in overdrive.
✔️This is the foundation of Performance & Resilience Tactics, created to help professionals stay sharp, steady, and well in the long-run.

🎥Start with my free under-2-minute video: Stay Sharp — Your Peak Performance Reset. You can also get the free Peak Performance Reset Map— a downloadable guide with a simple tool to get started right away.

We value PRODUCTIVITY, PERFECTION, and PUSHING THROUGH.

For years, I did too — even with my training as a physical therapist and wellness practitioner. And still, I burned out.

✔️ The missing link? Learning to work with the nervous system in real time. That’s actually the key to lasting performance, wellness, and resilience.

👉🏼It’s what led me to create Performance & Resilience Tactics— real-time, tactical tools for professionals who can’t always step away when things get tough, but still want to stay sharp, steady, and well for the long run.

✨ Check out my newly updated website, including a 90 second homepage video on why I'm doing this work.

I don’t usually post personal pictures of my kids, but this one feels too big not to share. 🎉Today is my son’s 19th birthday — the first one he’s celebrating away from home.

Looking at this photo of us when he was little, I’m struck by so many things:
✨the process of letting go
✨the reminder that nothing stays the same
✨the fact that he’s now so much taller than me there’s no way I could lift him anymore 😄

He’s always had a quiet, selfless personality — never one to ask for much or make a big deal about celebrating. All the more reason I want to celebrate him today.

♥️Happy Birthday to my eldest — I’m so proud of the young man you’re becoming. ✔️Here’s to embracing change, even when it’s hard, and finding strength in the transitions life brings us all.

💡 What Your Shoulder & Neck Tension Is Trying to Tell You

If your shoulders are creeping up toward your ears—or you feel like you’re carrying invisible armor—it’s not just posture.

It’s your nervous system, bracing.

👉🏼𝐓𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 = 𝐟𝐞𝐞𝐝𝐛𝐚𝐜𝐤, 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐟𝐚𝐢𝐥𝐮𝐫𝐞.

If you know how to read it, you can get better at downshifting in real time—so you can Stay Sharp, Steady, & Well.

Your body is always talking. The question is: are you listening?

✨ Yesterday, I was honored to share Performance & Resilience Tactics with the dedicated staff of a women’s cancer center.

Supporting those who support others is at the heart of this work. Practicing quick, real-time micro-resets on the job is a powerful way to enhance the wellbeing, performance, and resilience of people in high-pressure roles who make such a difference! 🌿

👉🏼Micro-resets and nervous system practices like these are especially vital with burnout and compassion fatigue being very real issues due to the heavy load that is carried.

Grateful for the chance to bring these tools into healthcare spaces where resilience matters. ♥️

wasn’t able to attend my high school reunion this past weekend, but I’ve been thinking about the girl I was back then— a long, long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away… NJ. 😃

👉🏼Quiet
👉🏼Daughter of immigrants
👉🏼Trying to figure out who she was
👉🏼Not "cool"
👉🏼Never quite fitting in between two cultures

Back then, I thought belonging meant being invited in. Now I know it’s about feeling at home in yourself, wherever you are.

Today:
✨Definitely not quiet
✨Still the daughter of immigrants
✨I know myself much better, with room for growth
✨Definitely not cool according to my kids (but I don’t care 😂)
✨Not looking to fully fit in, just be myself

I just wanted to acknowledge this — for myself, and for anyone else who’s walked that same path.

👉🏼You’re crushing it at work. But underneath it all, your system is quietly stuck in survival mode.

But underneath? You might be stuck in survival mode.

✨In high-pressure roles, survival mode can feel productive—but it slowly erodes clarity, performance, communication, and long-term resilience.

✔️Swipe through this post to recognize subtle signs your nervous system is stuck in high gear—and learn how to shift out of it with simple, science-backed strategies.

Feeling off—but trying to shove it down?

😤 Snapping at small things?
😶‍🌫️ Foggy but still pushing through?
😩 Tense all the time, even when things seem "fine"?

You’re not broken—your system is speaking.

But most of us never learned to read the signs. We override instead of regulate.

👉 That’s what Performance & Resilience Tactics (PRT) is about.

✔️It starts with one essential skill: Spot it to shift it.
⚙️ Know what gear you’re in—high, low, or optimal.
⚙️ Validate what’s showing up (not shove it down).
⚙️ Then apply quick, science-backed tools to return to your optimal zone—where clarity, performance, and resilience live.

👉🏼Because what you don’t spot… you can’t shift.
👉🏼And what you don’t shift... starts to run the show.
