An amygdala hijack; The amygdala overrides control of a person's ability to rationally respond to a perceived threat.
Your brain cannot tell the difference between a physical and a verbal one. It can trigger the fight or flight response either way.
@DrDoyleSays
I don’t want more. I want less. Less rushing, less stressing, less striving so there’s more room to simply be and to enjoy the little things with the people I love.
I’d say this slowly:
Refuse to let anyone define you by single moments in your life, whether mistakes you made or victories you won. Accept that you are more than both.
Your creativity is a gift.
It’s a good thing you don’t fit in.
You feel deeply and see beneath the surface.
You ignore the unspoken, unnecessary rules and color outside the lines.
Your presence points to freedom.
