I love this way of thinking! I heard that being nervous or anxious about something is the same chemical response as being excited but it's just the way our brain perceives it that makes it a good or bad feeling and since then I've always tried to choose excitement over anxiety!
I've never heard of the amygdala being referred to as a built in alarm system but it's such a good way of putting it! Or like a smoke alarm that's constantly going off when most of the time it's just burnt toast!
The stuff about the amygdala was super interesting, especially that it can't tell the difference... there's heaps of stuff in our brain like that and I think it just stresses how important it is to be in total control of our mindset

You're right - so many primitive reflexes in our brain to keep us safe!
I couldn’t even imagine having the courage to fly a small plane across the pacific solo. Not even once, let alone 3 times!
Yep, kinda crazy but it was a great adventure, every.single.time 😬
"Dopamine is like natures way of giving us a high five." Lmao that's so awesome
Threat or adventure is the same physiological response? Wow that's a perspective shifter.
OMG what a hectic story!! Why did you have to do it two more times though??
