Mind Pilot Episode 107
When you work in a high-stress environment, adrenaline and cortisol can stay elevated long after your shift ends. In this episode of Mind Pilot, Dr. Jana Price-Sharps discusses why first responders and veterans have the right to be happy, and how to intentionally ”cool down” your nervous system. Learn how to break the cycle of rumination, swap out negative mental loops for positive inputs, and fully reclaim your downtime.
Topics and Ideas Covered
- The Right to Be Happy: Choosing happiness is an active, daily decision rather than a passive state of being.
- De-escalating Your Physiology: Constant high stress floods your system with adrenaline and cortisol, keeping your brain on a continuous, exhausting search for threats.
- Choosing Your Inputs: Intentionally shifting your mental diet to lighter, funny, or calming content helps cool down your nervous system after a difficult shift.
