Calm AF

1: Don't let fear run the show


Listen Later

Our brains are divided into three parts...the primitive lizard brain, the more evolved limbic brain and the highly evolved neocortex. Only humans and highly-evolved mammals like monkeys and dolphins have access to the neocortex...where higher level thinking, problem solving and creative reasoning occur.

So why the hell are we spending so much time in our primitive lizard brains?

Because we haven't been taught how to override it.

In this episode you'll hear:

how my lizard brain left me paralyzed by fear on a hike

how to recognize when the lizard brain (fear) is running your show

why overriding the lizard brain thoughts is ESSENTIAL to success and happiness and calm

how to override the lizard brain and calm the frick down
