Take The Novelty Challenge: Three ways you can boost your brain health AND bond with your tribe!

The Find Your Freedom Podcast

In today's episode, we're kicking off the school year with some engaging ways to NOT ONLY boost your brain health, but improve and nurture your relationships with friends, family, your partner...there is no limit.
Did you know the body has two ways to respond to life??
We can call on our sympathetic nervous system that sends stress signals throughout the body in the fight, flight, freeze fashion...or we can use our parasympathetic nervous system to send signals of safety, support and centering. One floods brain fuel to the limbic brain and the other sends it to the pre-frontal cortex. Your limbic brain's main goal is to keep you safe....but your pre-frontal cortex can help you problem solve, think critically, show patience, compassion and creativity. And with this high level thinking, you can respond to life with confidence...even when it's stressful!
In this episode, you will learn why NOVELTY is the best way to flood your Pre-Frontal Cortex with fuel and HOW to do that!
