Highest Potential: How to Stop Overreacting

Ever overreact? If you're like me, you've had your fair share of regrets. We all have times when we overreact, and most of the time, it's not in our best interest. So how do we slow down and get more control over our own reactions?  In this episode, my awesome friend Fiona Murden joins me to discuss the reactionary brain and what steps we can take to decrease overreacting. We're going to talk about evidence-based exercises that we can do to train ourselves to gain control over our habitual reactions to situations and people.  Fiona Murden is a great friend, awesome mom, award-winning author, and host of Dot to Dot Behind the Person Podcast. We discuss the science and real-life applications of topics that help us perform under pressure and achieve our highest potential without burning out. Fi and I hit it off immediately! We are both passionate about teaching the science of resilience, and as parents, we both have a special interest in teaching kids how they can positively influence their brains. We are on a mission to widely share practical cognitive and motivational research tools with curious people who want to fulfill their potential and ultimately lead happier lives.
