Remember The Science: It can take time to deactivate and unwire the stress-activated networks of the brain. This is why even on my first day off from work yesterday, I still felt like I need to do something. But as the neuroscientist Donald Hebb once said, “Cells that fire together wire together” and in taking steps towards more calmer days, we will fire up new neural networks, and distance ourselves from the old. Don’t fret is disconnecting takes time, just make sure you’re making it easier for yourself in the process.
