INSIGHT

Mind Is Not The Brain

  • The mind is distinct from the brain and is the primary driver of our experience and health.
  • Changing thought patterns at the mind level influences brain and body responses, improving wellbeing.
ADVICE

Watch The Four Signals

  • Monitor four signals: bodily sensations, subconscious priority, emotions, and behaviors/perspective.
  • Treat these signals as data to catch triggers early and prevent spirals into negative behavior.
ADVICE

Step Back And Self-Regulate

  • Practice self-regulation by stepping back and observing your body, tone, and behavior in the moment.
  • Use simple techniques like slow 'sip' breathing and then reframe comments from "you" to "I felt" to de-escalate conflict.
