Description
Do you have lizard brain behind the wheel? Scared? Fearful? Angry? Defensive? This podcast addresses our survival instinct we may have while driving and how we can evolve beyond a scared reptile into a calm, kind and compassionate traveler. Know the warning signs of lizard brain driving:
Feeling a lack of control
Anger
Rage
Feeling trapped or powerless
Feeling suppressed
Outbursts of anger like shouting, cursing
Using your car like a shell or shield for protection
Using your car as a weapon or threat
Identify with your car as an extension of you
You are not your car; this is not your hermit shell that needs protection. Do you want to defend your car and your opinion or do you want to feel peaceful and calm in this moment? Remember you are not your story, your feelings, emotions, thoughts or possessions. You are something much bigger than that. Your co-pilot is calm.
