What is actually happening in your brain when you’re in a stressed-out state of mind?Even though stress has become an inescapable part of daily life, that doesn’t mean all stress is bad. You need a certain amount of stress to reach a state of productivity and focus. But your brain registers negative information more than positive. That’s why it’s important to learn how to combat stress effectively so that it doesn’t harm your nervous system and brain.I’m excited to welcome Nicole Vignola to our show today. Nicole is a neuroscientist and organizational consultant who makes neuroscience tangible for the masses. She’s here to talk about her brand-new book, Rewire: Break the Cycle, Alter Your Thoughts, and Create Lasting Change.It might be a surprise, but you’re not hard-wired to stay in specific thought patterns. Your brain has plasticity that makes it capable of redesigning new neural pathways based on your choices. But if you always give in to an urge, you’re going to reinforce your response to that behavior. Listen in as Nicole explains why negativity bias can be so powerful and shares tools to help you regulate your stress response./ / / Are you ready to take the next step on your brain optimization journey? / / /Choose your own adventure.
