Stress Kills Brain Cells

Feel Out of Control?  

Brain scientist Dr. John Medina tells us that when we can't control constant negative stress or its frequency, our experience of being out of control and trapped destroys our brain cells.

Thinking and feeling that 'there is no way out' damages our cognition - our ability to process information, problem solve, and know. The more we experience  negative stress as an endless loop, the less productive we are. No wonder we find ourselves unavailable for what we say matters most to us.

Are you suffering from any of these 'on-the-verge' signs?

  • You feel scattered and unable to concentrate?
  • You forget things easily?
  • You never seems to be able to get anywhere on time?
  • You no longer have the energy to do the things you love to do because they just feel lke more items on your to-do list?
  • You use your vacations, holidays and weekends "to catch up."
  • Your breathing is shallow.
  • You no longer think there's a better way to deal with the constant overload that keeps you in overdrive.
