The Survival Brain

The amygdala plays a pivotal role in amplifying negative emotions like sadness, fear, and stress in response to adverse thoughts and external stimuli. This heightened state of reactivity, governed by the amygdala, can plunge you into survival mode marked by severe self-criticism and an exaggerated response to minor errors. Such a mindset not only undermines your well-being, performance, and relationships but also traps you in a cycle of reactivity, where you're disproportionately influenced by the opinions and actions of others.

Recognizing and addressing the dominance of the amygdala is crucial to regaining emotional equilibrium and control over your reactions.

The Executive Brain

The prefrontal cortex acts as the brain's command center. You are in control when you work from this region of the brain. As the brain's executive command center, the prefrontal cortex is instrumental in orchestrating a symphony of cognitive abilities that define your highest human capacities. It governs decision-making, problem-solving, impulse control, emotional regulation, and forward-looking planning. By enabling you to pause and ponder before acting, assess the ramifications of your choices, and navigate the complexities of social dynamics, the prefrontal cortex empowers you with mastery over your actions and emotions.

Activating this region means harnessing the reins of self-control and thoughtful deliberation, placing you firmly in the driver's seat of your life.
