Deep dives
The Science of Surrender
Surrender is a practical approach that involves letting go of control, fear, and worry, allowing for clarity and new thoughts to emerge. The brain's amygdala, which processes emotions, becomes highly active under stress, thereby blocking helpful problem-solving thoughts. This is linked to the posterior cingulate cortex (PCC), which is activated by ruminative and problematic thoughts, leading to a cycle of insecurity and stress that inhibits solutions. By practicing surrender, one can calm the PCC, making space for more constructive thoughts that help in addressing goals and challenges.
