Using the Body to Manage Emotions
Managing emotions by trying to talk ourselves out of them often doesn't work well because it ignores the signals our emotions are sending and the limited communication between the rational brain and the limbic system. The book 'Gerea' emphasizes using the body to regulate emotions since the limbic system is closely linked to our physiology. Exercise is an effective way to release endorphins and reduce stress, despite initially increasing cortisol. Nutrition also plays a vital role in mental health, with processed foods negatively impacting the nervous system. Practices like heart coherence, breathing exercises, tapping (EFT), and eye movements can all help calm the nervous system and process emotions.
