Veterinary Wellbeing Wisdom Tiny Bites - Learning to Control Your Reactions

Did you know that you can choose not to react to things that normally upset you?

The primitive part of your brain has a 1 to 3 second head start, and it reacts quickly and strongly to things that have upset you in the past, as well as to things that seem life-threatening, like a car backfiring.

Take a breath – take control of the primitive part of your brain and tell it to relax while the frontal lobe lets you focus logic and reason on whatever just upset you. You can choose to just feel startled and shake it off, once you understand that the backfiring car was just a backfiring car, not a gang war breaking out.

Choose a new way to look at irritations and watch your stress melt away.
