Ep 43: Six Weeks to a Stronger Mindset - Session 2

In this second session of 'Unleashed Six Weeks to a Stronger Mindset', Cheryl discusses the concept of mindset and how the brain works. She explains the three parts of the brain: brain stem (survival state), limbic system (emotional state), and prefrontal cortex (executive state), including how these components interact and influence our behavior. Did you know that 95% of our life is spent on autopilot? You’ll leave this episode with a better understanding of the habit loop, and practical applications for changing thought patterns and behaviors.
