Let's talk about why these work...As human beings, we are wired to respond emotionally to triggers. Our amygdala serves as the primary center for emotional reactivity and our prefrontal cortex serves as the primary center for top-level executive functioning. Through activities such as mindfulness and breathwork, we can actually rewire our brains so that our emotional responses are more regulated than they were before.
By engaging in these activities on a regular basis, we can develop healthier brain pathways that allow us to be more aware of our emotions and how to manage them better. Additionally, by practicing meditation, we can become more mindful of how our thoughts affect our emotional states and how we can cultivate a better sense of mental wellbeing by deliberately choosing to focus on the positive instead of dwelling on the negative.
