We all have tricky brains! Sometimes this means that we get into unhelpful loops in the brain, going over and over scenarios (past or future) in a way that isn’t helpful and causes us to suffer. It’s not your fault that this happens, it’s just the way the human brain has evolved. In this course, you can learn about how and why this happens, and start to learn how to manage this.
· Understand our motivations and reactions to situations
· Learn to take a balcony view of our emotions and actions so that we can start to change these when it would be helpful.
· Find more helpful ways to deal with the pressures and stress of contemporary living
Sometimes,
we can feel so anxious about something that we feel incapable of doing anything
about it. This is really typical of
human beings, and also in keeping with the way our brain functions. On this course you can learn about a model
that helps us understand what is happening here, and then learn different ways
of responding so that you can work towards your goals in a fulfilling rather
than stressed out way.
Research has shown that most people find it easy to show compassion towards other people. However, we can find it a lot harder to receive compassion, or to show it to ourselves. Find out about your own reaction to giving and receiving compassion, and then you can learn how to cultivate compassion in your life so that you optimise your feel-good brain functions and relationships.
