Interrupting The Stress Cycle
We need to intercept the communication we do with ourselves and listen with an awareness of what we tell ourselves about a crisis situation.
If we are able to address this problem with awareness and interrupt the stress-response cycle, then we are free of the reactive ‘fight or flight’ mode.
Example: If waiting in a line is bothering you, be aware of this and tell yourself that this is essential and just a matter of a few minutes.
