Hi Zahrsi – Good to have this sesion. Iam excited to apply this week end
Great video! Thanks, Shadé.
Thank you for challenging me to be a better person and implementing these prescious life strategies. You have the gift of encouragement. (Brad, Maine)
When you say you’re not going to feel like this forever. It’s been a week so far 🤷🏻♀️🥺
I like the steps to control emotions.
The hope that its temporary and will pass.
1. Stop and Breathe
2. Bring awareness to mind and body
3. Accept and acknowledge it
4. Realize its temporary
5. Investigate the source
6. Decide on a response
Video no 2: done. Thanks a lot for summarizing at the end of videos. I take screenshots and put it in my notes app. Summarizing makes less screenshots.
I came here just to know how to pronounce "Amygdala"… sorry not so sorry..
So beautifully done, I am a Neuroanatomist and I really appreciate the way you put the things. You have the style and narration perfectly suited to task you are doing. Lauded, Shadé
sorry, but your suggestions dont work. im seeking brain surgery to get my amygdala removed
This really helped me a lot. ❤️🙏🏻
Emotional balance:
1)Stop and breathe deeply like navy seals.
2)Observe what is happening in your mind and in your body. Just tell your brain what is happening.
3)Accept it and acknowledge it. Just label the emotion disrupts amygdala.
4)Emotions are very short lived.
5)Investigate your emotions. How am I getting in my way by being in the same state.
6)Trust yourself to choose the most appropriate action. Just ask the questions about problems you will get solutions.
Precious info… thank you for sharing
Awesome👍
Kindly speak slowly slowly.
I love your videos…and educations! Just I wish you talked a bit slowly in the first part of the video. Much love.
I love how you summarise the steps, it’s so helpful ❤️ thank you for your help
@shadezahrai What if you are triggered immediately by an action or words said by another party? And you have to respond immediately to the question or have to decide at that moment?
You are going too fast. People with anxiety would find it difficult to grasp.
Thank you❤❤🙏
