When faced with a challenging or potentially dangerous situation that activates survival instincts of fight, flight, and freeze, it is important to have training in place so you can act with purpose and direction. Training yourself to engage in these four exercises will put them into your working memory, and allow your decisions on how to react to come from a place of compassion and wisdom rather than fear.
Today’s short playlist talks about reward systems, then provides an easy tai chi exercise to easily check all of your BAGS at once. Enjoy!
