140. Five Barriers to Joy: Your Primitive Brain
Manage episode 313972150 series 2338187
I am passionate about teaching people about their brains. So in this episode I want to explain how your primitive brain reacts to joy.
If we don't understand that our primitive brain is designed to keep us safe, out of harms way, AND to seek pleasure. We think there is something wrong with us. We think we are broken.
What to do:
Look for bright spots. Not some toxic positivity here, but train your brain to see. Train your brain to watch for moments to capture. Stressful times will come and go. And name your primitive brain here.
