𝐋𝐨𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐂𝐨𝐨𝐥 𝐀𝐢𝐧’𝐭 𝐂𝐨𝐨𝐥

𝐃𝐨𝐧’𝐭 𝐅𝐥𝐢𝐩 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐋𝐢𝐝

If we can explain the anatomy of the brain 🧠 #BrainWellness and emotional regulation to #children under 5, then surely it can be taught to adults as well.

'𝐅𝐥𝐢𝐩𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐥𝐢𝐝' is when the ‘thinking’ 𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐛𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐧 is suspended and the 𝐀𝐦𝐲𝐠𝐝𝐚𝐥𝐚 — the threat response system is constatntly activated, think of:

fight/flight/freeze/fawn. 🤺💨👐🏼

It might be difficult for children at times as they don’t have the language or vocabulary to explain what is going on..

But, we’ve managed to bring this knowledge forward to children, where they’re 𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐝, 𝐭𝐚𝐮𝐠𝐡𝐭 and 𝐞𝐦𝐩𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐝 through #Mindfulness of emotions and brain #wellness knowledge.

Funny how we don't always think the same when it comes to adults.. Think of overbearing boss or impatient customer.. we often let it pass, and often times think it is excusable.

Think of the person yelling at their team 💌 or blasting a team member and putting them on the spot. If this person is unable to self-regulate, they start being completely irrational, irritable and they are in fight mode

See, repeated behavior rewires our brain to make this #behavior more likely in the future. When lashing out becomes habitual, over time, we discover that it is more natural to us than taking a step back, reflecting and responding #mindfully.

The benefits of 𝐆𝐞𝐭 𝐌𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐟𝐮𝐥 𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐫 help in cultivating positive leadership and work environment, increases productivity, and improves decision-making abilities due to reduced stress.

Stay #well and try not to flip your lid 🧠
