We want to grow, to be our best selves, to self-actualize... all that self-help jargon ;)

And often we get stuck in a place where our positive, intentional thoughts just don't stick.

What's a girl to do?

One reason this happens is that you've been driven from your logical, regulated pre-frontal cortex down into your survival brain. (It's very hard to think "I can handle it" when your brain is sending you signals that life is so overwhelming you're probably going to die.)

You've probably heard it before, but I think we can all use the reminder that sometimes it's just as simple as a breath. Deep breathing has been proven to regulate our nervous system and allow us access to our pre-frontal cortex. Translation: we get to feel--and act--like ourselves again.

I hope this idea can help you this week.
