Listen "#9: Upgrading Your Brain: Embracing Change and Pushing Past Comfort Zones"
Episode Synopsis
In this podcast episode, Aaron and Marissa talk about "upgrading your brain". They talk about the importance of pushing yourself out of your comfort zone and recognizing your own potential for growth. They focus on how upgrading your brain can help you become more successful in life and in business. They use their own experiences and anecdotes to illustrate their points and encourage listeners to embrace change and try new things.
Aaron discusses how cold showers can reset the body's "fight or flight" response and help us manage stress better. He explains that as we get too comfortable in our daily lives, our fight or flight response gets reprogrammed and can be triggered by small things. Cold showers, on the other hand, force our bodies to remember what it's like to be uncomfortable and face a potential survival situation. He also gives tips on how to get out of our comfort zones, including stopping counting reps at the gym and going to social settings for introverts.
