    Great presentation with practical info for managing emotions during fight or flight activation…. love the metaphor of the waterfall cascade and the pin ball machine to describe a flood of emotion and the need to pause during intense situations to neutralises the molecules of emotions and interrupt the cascade. Brilliant!

    Finally there's an explanation that makes sense for me why I feel so out of control sometimes and overwhelmed when Im angry. I've tried counting to 10 so many times and it doenst work. But maybe I wasn't using ALL of MY BRAIN. i'll try the pause and see how it works.

    I feel like the being able to pause for 6 seconds has to first be recognized in order to pause. Sometimes I am blind sided by the emotion and then after a minute of release of frustration….., I realize I just overreacted and darn, I hate to have to apologize but often necessary. It just makes me so disappointed in myself.

    this is marvelous! So if I instantly shift my focus from the thought that first generates the undesired chemical to another thought or to something I happen to be doing for 6 seconds (and don't engage with that thought again), I'm gonna be able to move that undesired thought to trash?

    “Emotions are embodied.” Eckhart Tolle in his book “The Power of NOW” declares that “our emotions are our bodies’ reactions to our thoughts.” I would like to add that many people confuse emotions and feelings. Unlike feelings, emotions can be faked. I think this is because feelings cannot be filtered through the mind, unlike emotions.

    Uau! Parabens! Fantastico! Eu sou professora de dança e fitness, considero os segundos iniciais de cada aula preciosos para envolver minhas alunas num clima positivo em que possam ser liberadas de todas as tensoes e entrem no flow da aula como experiencia optimizada. Acredito que a escolha das musicas e dos movimentos expressios da dança, sempre orientados aos estados emocionais positivos como a alegria, podem contribuir nestes 6 segundos iniciais para mudar toda a experiencia da aula, mantendo as alunas engajadas e imersas no flow da alta performance e experiencia optimal. Gostaria de saber mais sobre como o cerebro funciona, nestes momentos em que a dança, o movimento expressivo e a musica sao introduzidos nos momentos da pausa de 6 segundos , ja que certamente alteram a quimica corporal pela açao direta que impacta o corpo e pode facilitar o desenvolimento da inteligencia emocional e tambem o estado de flow. Obrigada.

    I feel like I'm only half-understanding this. I understand I need to think more before I react, it's what everything in my research has said, but usually when I react, it happens so fast. I find it difficult to fully comprehend how fast the "slow down" process between action and reaction should be. I keep feeling like I'm going to stare off in space and come across "slow" as I try to process a reaction. I liked the part in this about using the brain to do a quick math problem, but I think that part also confuses me, cause I suck at math and it would likely take me 6 mins to solve something simple. I don't know...

    Not sure if you'll reply to this comment cause this video is 2 years old now but I'm gonna try anyways... Do you've any tips & videos on how to stop speaking unnecessarily? As in how to only speak when you know you're adding value whether it's in form of educating or entertaining? Also how to realize that even though what you're saying has value to it but that it would be of no use to say as the person you're saying it to just won't get it because they won't value it & it's better not say (sounds very rude but basically how to realize that the other person is just a fool and it's of no use to try to prove your point to them like how to choose when an argument would be of benefit & when it would be just a waste of time so it's better not to try to prove my point)

    Hey. I have autism and i have big trouble considering others and their wants when saying something or performing an action. This has given me relationship troubles. People that have spent a lot of time with me often start getting annoyes at even my smaller mistakes because they know its because i failed to consider them. Such as putting a plate with the dishes while it has to still be used. Anything you recommend aside from this that may help me?

    Empathy can be challenging even for people without neuro-challenges. It is a LEARNABLE response. Keep practicing and "exercising" empathy-- ask yourself (before you act) what are the possible outcomes to my action? Consider if you want to take that action or take a different action. Also you can ASK other people if your action is something they want or like. Getting more information can be a great way to show empathy because I demonstrates that you are curious about others. hope this is helpful!!
