FINISH STRONG FRIDAY: Learning to "surf the waves" of life's challenges is essential to finishing strong.
When we embrace threats instead of avoiding them, our brain's basal ganglia and anterior cingulate cortex work together to reward us with dopamine and create powerful resilience habits.
KEY SUITE SPOTS
• The brain is designed to reward threat-facing behavior with dopamine, making courage feel good
• Ancient wisdom from multiple traditions reinforces the neurological benefits of persistence
• Determination (the internal fire) and perseverance (the daily grind) work together for success
• Sometimes finishing strong means redefining your finish line and finding peace with your journey
• Progress comes from putting one foot in front of the other, no matter how small the step
