Dr. Lori Desautels, article Calming End-of-Year Stress
“Calming the brain’s stress response is critical to positive emotion, clarity of thought, and emotional regulation. When we use breathing or focused attention exercises to quiet the emotional center of our brains where fight, flight, and fear reside, we are activating neural circuits in the brain that strengthen the flow of oxygen and glucose through the prefrontal cortex.”
A focused attention exercise can be any number of things. I like to involve the five senses where I’m hyper focused on either my sense of touch, hearing, smell or sight.
