If you’ve found yourself lashing out, anxious or fearful, you may be on the verge of letting the chemical cortisol rob hoped for results in the new year. Why so? It’s based on the mental misunderstanding that once stirred up, this brain chemical is there to stay.
Myth 8: “Little things bother me more than they bother others and I can’t help the fact that I worry more than most people.”
Reality: We are never stuck in a place of worry, without help. In fact what few people know is that our brains are miraculously flexible. Serotonin is the hormone that increases calm, contentment and well-being, while the hormone cortisol can lead us to panic and anxiety.
We can influence both states as we practice ways to decrease or stimulate our hormone levels, including thoughts of a memory we enjoy or music we enjoy, or lunch with a good friend, in order to enrich mental performances so that we thrive rather than fail.
