Brain Fact Friday on ”Using Neuroscience to Self-Regulate Automatic Negative Thoughts, Emotions and Behaviors”

<p>"Self-regulation will always be a challenge, but if somebody's going to be in charge, it might as well be me." Daniel Akst</p> <p></p> <p>On today’s Episode #273 we will cover</p> <p>✔ A review of Brain Fact Friday #112, where we introduced Self-Regulation, and why it's important for our overall mental health and wellbeing. </p> <p>✔ One strategy from the work of Dr. Daniel Amen for Self-Regulating Automatic Negative Thoughts.</p> <p>✔ Two strategies from the work of Dr. Andrew Huberman--One on using self-regulation to calm ourselves down in less than a minute, and the other to strengthen the NO-GO Circuits in our brain to help with impulse control.</p> <p></p> <p> </p> <p>Welcome back to <em>The Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast</em> where we bridge the gap between theory and practice, with strategies, tools and ideas we can all use immediately, applied to the most current brain research to heighten productivity in our schools, sports environments and modern workplaces.

Why are we going back to the basics? When we are building something worthwhile, something that we want to last, going back to the foundations will help us to strengthen our understanding of our brain, and our mind, to our results, providing us with the extra strength we will need to overcome the obstacles and challenges that will come our way. My hopes are that this step backwards will help us to become better prepared to move forward, towards our goals, or whatever it is that we are w
