Enjoy learning about different aspects of your brain...

Amygdala - "animal brain" - fight, flight, or freeze
PreFrontal Cortex - "thinking Brain" - critical thinking, problem solving
Hippocampus - Knowledge storage - "schema"

Keep in mind:
Is there a lion about to pounce?
Do I need to fight to protect my life?
Does it need to be done RIGHT NOW no options?

IF NOT: Tell your amygdala to RELAX by:
BREATHING
SHAKE IT OFF
LAUGH

    I really like it!
    So your amygdala ( ANIMAL BRAIN )tells you to be angry or scared.

    your Prefrontal Cortex solves your problems and makes you think before you act.

    your hippocampus ( wise old owl ) stores your knowledge and your schema
