This presentation is a perfect segway from the "Power of Don't" (POD) presentation. POD applies the foundation of understanding about the conscious and subconscious mind and how the two areas of human consciousness work with each other. The Storytelling Brain (STB) focuses on another thought process called 'rumination' which causes us to experience long term stress effects when not managed properly. The participants will be educated on this part of our human psyche, why we as a species have it and how to manage and control the rumination mind. The tools provided will ease the stress levels of the participants as they learn to recognize real stress from false stress, manage the aspects of false stress and then take that knowledge back to share with others. By developing tools to control the rumination process, one is better able to focus on the factors which can be controlled vs ones that are out of our control. Participants can then take those skills and apply them to their home and workplace to ensure our energy is focused on the here and now rather on the false, and often negative, narrative of what could be.
