MyBrainSolutions: Resilience & Brain Training - Dr. Evian Gordon 3:32
Like most life skills, you can train to be more resilient
and bounce back faster from life's inevitable adverse events; becoming stronger as a result.
Stressors are a natural part of our day, but you can Train to develop skills
to help you deal with stress IN THE MOMENT, when it comes your way. Stress management involves having realistic perceptions of
your stressor, being able to 'circuit break' the stress response you have in real-time and taking adequate time to recover from
stressful periods. You can build a reservoir of skills to effectively and automatically master stress.
We are naturally tuned to have a preference to negativity,
to keep us SAFE. If this tendency is activated incorrectly or for too long, it can be hugely detrimental to your well-being.
It is possible to Train your brain to be realistically tuned to the positives.
Your ability to stay focused and complete important tasks is important
to every goal you have. Staying focused on one thing at a time depends on your ability to avoid distractions and keep consistent focus
for an extended period of time.
Your ability to remember important information is critical in all your
decision making. Memory is both the ability to hold information 'online' and also recall important stored information from your memory
when you need it. Memory and Focus and Calmness are highly interconnected. Train any one process and benefit them all.
Having quality relationships is a critical factor to maintaining brain
health in your life. Your brain secretes healthy "bonding" chemicals when you have quality social connections and engaging interactions.
Effective personal and work relationships depend on your brain's ability to attune to others' emotions, feelings and brain styles.
And they are further boosted by validating other people's strengths and "what works" solutions rather than focus on their deficits
and problems.
