164 – 3 Neuroscience-Based Approaches to Respond Instead of React When You’re Triggered

The Calm Mom - Burnout, Anxiety, Nervous System, Mindset, Self-Care, Parenting, Work-Life Balance

Your brain is plastic (not elastic) which means you have the ability to mold it into new patterns of being. 

How we react when we’re triggered is typically an automatic response that we’ve practiced for decades, but it can be changed!

So being reactive isn’t “just how you are.”  It’s simply a learned, conditioned behavior that has been repeatedly enforced.  

You just need to be taught how to rewire your brain when you’re triggered, and then consistently put what you’ve learned into practice as you form new neural pathways for responding when you feel triggered.  

In today’s episode, you’ll learn 3 neuroscience-backed approaches to help you stop reacting when you’re triggered so you can capitalize on that pause between stimulus and response and consciously choose how you want to show up.
