The Riot Starter Chat

Dr. Lowe chats with us about our lizard brain! It controls the need for acceptance—and the fear that we won't be accepted—that part of the brain that believes we must ensure we are included in our tribe, no matter the cost. That’ the lizard brain! The lizard brain cares what everyone else thinks, because status in the tribe is essential to its survival. It drives people pleasing and codependancy.

The 2010 Deloitte Shift Index reported that 80% of those surveyed said they hated their jobs. They didn’t dislike their jobs. They weren’t irritated with their jobs. They hated their jobs. That’s pretty strong language.You spend the vast majority of your waking hours at your job. Theoretically Monday through Friday is divided into thirds. There are 120 hours in a 5-day work week. If you sleep 8 hours a night and work 8 hours a day, than that leaves 8 hours you can call your own. Again, that’s the theory. So what can you do about this hating your job stuff?

You may be in the down shift and you need to shift up. Perhaps feeling like there needs to be a major shift and understanding that “I am the only one capable of manifesting and implementing that shift.”  If you are, perfect, because I want you to know that miracles happen when shifts occur.

While many believe that knowledge is power, knowledge is only powerful when it is consistently applied. Consistency may be the most important component of success. A small step forward each day adds up to a lot of mileage over time.  I know this to be true because I’ve been consistent with a fitness regiment for several months now, working with a trainer and feeling myself getting stronger each month. Slowly seeing the needle move on the scale but uber excited about my dedication and consistency to my progress. You see, I’m not looking for a quick fix like many of you, I’m in for the long haul. What about you?

We lie to ourselves on a daily basis. These lies cover up our perceived shortcomings and prevent us from taking risks.

You may not even be aware of the lies you tell yourself. I want to chat with you about the 7 lies you tell and how to avoid them so you can start a riot!
