Building Resilience

Your driving style might reveal more about you than just your skills behind the wheel. It’s just a theory— but I’m convinced that how you handle the road can be a peek into your state of mind.On this episode of Building Resilience, I’ll share my (not necessarily scientific) connection between driving styles and our nervous system states. Whether you're an aggressive driver or a cautious one, your behavior on the road may reflect deeper patterns of stress and resilience—and your coping mechanisms. This episode might just change the way you think about your daily commute.Links:Ep. 168: 10 Mistakes That People Make When They Try to Heal Their Nervous System Ep. 182: Slow It DownResources:The "Memory Matters" course---cherish and protect your memories, they're invaluable.The Advanced Nervous System Resilience training---join the waitlist!

Uncertainty is an inevitable part of life. Whether it's the uncertainty of a new job, a relationship, or even the weather, our brains are wired to crave stability and predictability. But why is that?

We’ll discuss why our brains see unpredictability as a potential threat and how this triggers a stress response.

Life has a funny way of making us rush around, doesn't it? Many of us find ourselves constantly moving, always trying to get to the next thing. But what if we just slowed it down a bit? What if we took a moment to breathe and really savor the moment we're in?On this episode of Building Resilience, we’re talking about the power and importance of slowing down. I'll be sharing insights from my own experiences and the lessons I've learned from my coaching certification program, I’ll explain why rushing can be detrimental to our health, relationships, and quality of life, and I’ll give some practical tips on how to prioritize, manage time effectively, and cultivate mindfulness to bring a sense of calm and balance to your everyday life.Links:Ep. 110: The Zone of ResilienceResources:The "Memory Matters" course---cherish and protect your memories, they're invaluable.The Advanced Nervous System Resilience training!

We all know that pain is real, even pain that can't be narrowed down to a specific cause. But that begs the question---do your thoughts and feelings about pain actually make your pain worse?In this episode, I'm going to share a useful tool that explores these thoughts, the Pain Catastrophizing Scale. It's a tool designed to measure your tendency to catastrophize pain. By separating the elements of how catastrophizing tends to manifest (rumination, magnification, and helplessness) it can help health care professionals guide treatment strategies and track progress, and can even increase your awareness of your own thoughts around pain to get it under control.Resources:The "Memory Matters" course---cherish and protect your memories, they're invaluable.The Advanced Nervous System Resilience training!

Life has a funny way of pulling us into a spiral of negative thinking sometimes. We start with a small concern, and before we know it, we're deep in a cycle of catastrophic thoughts. Our brain has a negativity bias, but luckily we can train it to see the positives too.On this episode of Building Resilience, I delve into the concept of catastrophizing---a common cognitive distortion that traps us in a loop of negative thinking. We'll explore what catastrophizing is, why our minds tend to fall into this pattern, and the impact it can have on our mental and physical health. From understanding the underlying causes to practical strategies for breaking free from these thought traps, this episode is packed with insights to help you cultivate a more resilient mindset.Links:Ep. 121 - The Three Stories We TellResources:The "Memory Matters" course---cherish and protect your memories, they're invaluable.The Advanced Nervous System Resilience training---join the waitlist!

Whether it's a personal disagreement, professional misunderstanding, or a deep emotional wound, understanding the dynamic of rupture and repair can transform how we heal and grow from these experiences. We explore how ignoring the need for genuine repair can leave us stuck, and why simply being told to get over it doesn't help.Connections:A new membership I am offering---This is a safe place where you can explore your nervous system, build up your home, expand your capacity, increase your flexibility, amplify your growth, and make life long connections.Find out more at http://leahdavidsonlifecoaching.com/connectionsResources:The "Memory Matters" course: Cherish and protect your memories, they're invaluable.The Advanced Nervous System Resilience training: Dive deep into understanding the nervous system and its role in our lives.My video series, The 30 Second Burnout Solution: A lifeline for those grappling with stress and burnout, especially compassion fatigue and secondary traumatic stress.Connect:Could you do me a favor?
