Why can one person walk away from temptation while another feels almost powerless against it?
In this short from The Chris & Mike Show, Coach Keith Dorscht breaks down the role of the prefrontal cortex, what he calls the brain’s “commander in chief.” It plays a major role in self control, decision making, emotional regulation, and our ability to delay gratification.
The conversation connects this to relationships, parenting, addiction, and recovery. Sometimes the battle isn't simply knowing what's right or wrong. It's having the ability to slow down long enough to make the better decision instead of immediately reacting to what feels good in the moment.
Chris, Mike, and Coach Keith discuss why strengthening healthy patterns, relationships, and emotional connection can matter so much when we're trying to change behavior.
Sometimes the most powerful thing your brain can tell you is: not right now.
