@upspiral.life: Angry all the time? Here is a psychology trick that stops anger fast and puts ease back in your life. Follow me then comment UPSPIRAL and I'll send you more information about my programs. You can also click the link in my bio. Anger feels sharp in the moment, but it dulls your thinking. It pulls blood and glucose out of your prefrontal cortex and sends it to your survival circuitry. Chronic anger also lowers your sensitivity to dopamine, so everyday life feels flat until something intense happens. Here is how to interrupt the loop. Step one: name the state. Skip the story about what they did. Say "A part of me is activated, an angry part trying to protect me." That brings your prefrontal cortex back online. Step two: widen the frame. Feel the soles of your feet. Feel the air on your palm. Notice three sounds. Sweep your eyes side to side. Your brain reads that as safety. Step three: redirect the energy. Move, write, or take decisive action within 20 minutes so the intensity has somewhere to go. The goal is a brain that doesn't get hijacked by anger. You will still get angry. You get to stay in the driver's seat. #UpSpiralLife #AngerManagement #Psychology #NervousSystem #Neuroscience
