Stimuli + Response = Outcome (podcast style).
The following 2 audio-files are podcast inspired 'lessons' on mindset and nervous system regulation. You have now come so far in this course, and equipped yourself with all the body-based tools and strategies, it's time to bring in the mind. Although stress lives in the body - our thoughts and our mindset plays a big role in regulation.
In this 'lesson' you'll learn how to find the pause between stimulus and response, so that you can reach better outcomes in any given situation.
I recommend listening via headphones, out on a walk or in the car.
Enjoy!
Reflective Questions:
What recent “event” did I blame for my emotional state?
What story did I attach to that event - and how did it shape my reaction?
If I had responded from a regulated state, what might the outcome have been instead?
What simple pause or regulation tool can I use to create space between stimulus and response?
