In this solo episode I discuss the importance of cognitive flexibility and how having hard conversations with people who disagree with us, is extremely valuable for our mental and emotional growth. It can be really tempting to surround ourselves with people who are aligned with our values and beliefs, but what if you leaving that comfortable bubble allowed you to grow into a better version of yourself?
In this episode I discuss:
*What cognitive flexibility is and how to apply it to daily life
*Toxic tribalism and how it impedes mental growth
*The emotional (toddler) brain and the rational brain & How our brains respond when our ideologies are 'attacked'
*Tips for having hard conversations with people who think differently than you
*How breathwork can help us improve our cognitive flexibility
