“The nearer a man comes to a calm mind, the closer he is to strength.” -Marcus Aurelius

 A

So then why are you feeling overwhelmed by stress? Well, it may

be for one of the following reasons:

• You have an overactive amygdala.

• There’s a problem in communication between your prefrontal

cortex and your amygdala.

• Your prefrontal cortex isn’t functioning properly.

• Your prefrontal cortex doesn’t have the right information

from past experience to calm things down.

• You grew up in chaotic circumstances or faced problems that

you were helpless to change, such as an addicted, neglectful,

or depressed parent; family violence; or poverty.

• As the result of a string of disappointments and failures, you

have automatic negative expectations, a feeling that the world

isn’t safe or supportive, lack of trust in other people to help

you, or lack of self-confidence.
