Hey Shoremates!

Welcome to Chapter 1 and the beginning of Chapter 2 in Activate Your Brain: How Understanding Your Brain Can Improve Your Work — and your life by Scott G. Halford

Action Items

1. Now that we understand the C and X systems, ask yourself how much time is spent in the C system over the X system.  As a reminder, the x system is reflexive and the c system is reflective.  How can you spend more time in the C system?
2. Next time you’re feeling highly emotional and ready to explode, take a few deep breaths, count to 10, and if you can excuse yourself for a moment, go take a brief walk without any electronics. Notice how differently you’ll react when you come back after having a few moments to calm down.
3. Avoid making any important decisions when you are tired.  Being in the analytical C system takes a lot of energy, and making emotional decisions is almost always a recipe for disaster. 

Always, Always Remember,

You've got this!
