Send us a textIn this post-election episode, we dive into the tension many of us are feeling in the U.S. today.I share my own struggle, wondering how people I encounter may have voted against basic human rights, and wrestle with what it truly means to stand for “liberty and justice for all.”We'll explore confirmation bias, how algorithms reinforce our beliefs, and how this divides our shared reality. With our country polarized, each of us often sees our beliefs as the undeniable truth, which complicates our capacity to connect—even with loved ones who hold opposing views. So, how do we move forward?In this episode, we focus on what we can control. From prioritizing joy to creating meaningful community connections, I'll discuss how we can resist through intentional focus on the world we want to see. Along with some nerdy brain science things, I explain how tuning our focus can help us align with our goals and reinforce our values, especially when our actions radiate out to impact those around us.Through community, rest, and our own quiet rebellions, we can find the strength to thrive—not just survive... a reminder that showing up as our best, fullest selves is an act of resistance and resilience. Key Points:Navigating post-election tension and personal reflections on patriotism and justiceUnderstanding confirmation bias and the impact of algorithms on our perceptionsHow the RAS (Reticular Activating System) can help us focus on positive changeResisting hopelessness by prioritizing joy and communityShowing up for our communities by being the strongest versions of ourselvesGet in there and give it a listen! Support the showResources:Manage Your Stress MentorshipDiscovery call You can find more about Brain-Body Resilience and JPB:On the BBR WebsiteOn InstagramOn FacebookSign up for the BBR newsletter
