Such powerful survival mechanisms! They literally can save your life. But do you ever jump to those default reactions even when the situation is NOT life threatening? The problem is those automatic reflexes aren\u2019t always appropriate in daily life - they bypass the rational, strategic part of your brain. What if you could FACE the stressful moments instead - CALM, centered, strong, able to find fresh approaches. Let\u2019s expand your options for more thriving, not just surviving! SOLO EPISODE: Just Amy K! THE SCOOP: It happens to most of us - going into fight, flight, freeze or fawn for not so serious circumstances. A rush of adrenaline around a contentious political issue. Ducking out of the room when you see that person who owes you money. Freezing up when the boss blames you for the missed deadline. Trying to appease everyone when an argument breaks out at the dinner table. Here is a quick reminder of what each of these looks and feels like: Fight: your back goes up, you lean into aggressive, primed to push back Flight: you are ready to run, move away from the event or the person, avoid  Freeze: you get quiet, still, even go a bit numb Fawn: this one is less well known, but basically you move into please & appease mode \u201cFace\u201d is a new option. Think of it as a posture you select, literally & figuratively.  CHOOSING to lean in and orient towards what\u2019s triggering you, rather than being hijacked by reflex. Strong, grounded, relaxed and open. Breathing deeply and easily. Face is about looking forward! ALIVE, fully present and able to tap into your true superpower - your creativity, ability to consider a variety of ideas and experiment.  Listen in to dial up YOUR ability to FACE your challenges.
