We need that smart part of the brain to make sense of it, because it's not just a threat like there, isn't just like a bear jumping out and being like: ah, you know, it's the thought about like, oh my god, if I don't deliver that work to that report, to my boss, then I'm gonna get right like that's.
Ever feel like the world is spinning out of control? You're not alone. In this episode of 'The Shift Show', psychologists Andrea and Zac tackle the overwhelming stressors that bombard us daily—from geopolitical conflicts to skyrocketing inflation. They dig into how these external pressures can hijack our mental health and what we can do to reclaim our peace of mind.
The episode introduces the concept of the 'walnut brain', explaining how it processes stress and can sometimes make us feel powerless. But don’t worry, Andrea and Zac have got your back with practical tips to regain control. They emphasize the importance of self-awareness and planning for those inevitable tough days. You'll also hear about the benefits of mindfulness and acts of generosity, which can be game-changers in managing anxiety and enhancing your overall well-being.
If you're ready to break free from negative thought patterns and take charge of your mental health, this episode is a must-listen.
