#44 Understanding How To Use Anger To Make Wise Decisions ft Loretta Breuning

 

In this episode, Loretta talks about how she used anger from a bad job evaluation to make the best decision for her life.

Understanding how your brain works when threatened is important to understand why it's hard to make changes within yourself.

She's the author of "Habits of The Happy Brain" and her most recent book on "Tame Your Anxiety". Loretta has done extensive brain research on how good feelings helps your brain to want to continue doing what is comfortable. But, if you have a bard experience such as pain, your brain considers this as a threat and wants you to stay away.

This is why getting rejected from job interviews causes you to want to not continue the job seeking process because your brain considers this a threat to survival. But, you have to learn how to remind your brain that you are okay and this is a process you have to go through to get to the opportunity you'd like to have.
