In this episode, Brock and Dr. Byers dive into the following topics:
- Why we default to old (and perhaps unwanted) behaviours when stressful situations arise.
- How we can avoiding all-or-nothing thinking and why giving ourselves some grace can actually keep us on track.
- How our brain constantly tells us stories about the stressful events – and how we can challenge those stories.
- When a circumstance is out of our control, the best approach can be to look at what can we control.
- Why asking yourself “what story I am telling myself right now?” is a great tactic to help change those stories.
- How a little stress can actually make us more effective – and productive.
- The interesting fact that our bodies react to negative and positive stress the same way.
- How the word stress got a bad reputation (should we start calling it the “twinkles” instead?)
- How being too busy (or a workaholic) makes you less productive and less effective. And how this applies to trying to change too many behaviours all at once.
