Peter Theisen introduced Rebecca Murray - CEO of Skagit Media Marketing
Her topic this fine day was Retraining the Brain
Do you have stressful relationships and you sometimes you don’t like your reactions to people? You engage in your behavioral defaults? It’s not your fault. It’s your Limbic System not integrated well with your reasoning brain that’s causing these problems. There are two things you can do to retrain your brain-
1) Breathe. Tibetan monks have been using this technique to focus on being mindful – I guess is the new term.
2) Utilize the BRAIN acronym -
Breathe – Take slow deep breaths to relax your limbic system so you won’t fight or flight.
Recognize – your default reaction to stimulus
Allow – yourself to separate from your feelings
Investigate – what the stimulus is and why you react in such a way.
Nurture – retrain the response to stimuli.
