PILATES FOR THE BRAIN
“I know so well how easy it is to fall into the trap of using food, addictions, or other forms of avoidance as protection from my fears of being uncomfortable. Reading Dr. Schoen’s book, “Your Survival Instinct Is Killing You” was challenging. It felt so close to home—almost too close and personal in fact. Yet as I came to understand the message of this book, it became so much more obvious to me. This book is about the unavoidable - being uncomfortable. Dr. Schoen’s Pilates For The Brain Online Learning Center offers a gift: How to successfully manage your discomfort and fears, and equally as important, how to use the discomfort in your life as a vehicle for empowerment."

• Do you constantly check your e-mail even when there is no indication you received one?
• When you have an unexpected hour of free time, do you race to fill it, reach for your phone, or go online?
• Do you find it difficult to turn your mind off at bedtime?
• Do you drive or walk fast even when you are not in a rush?
• If you send a text or email, do you become uneasy if you do not receive an immediate reply?
We are an always 'on' culture.
Our survival instinct which was designed to be triggered in life-threatening situations has become hypersensitive, reacting to a myriad of perceived stresses–from deadlines to traffic jams to slow cashiers who make us late, to the fact that an unexpected email or text hasn’t arrived. The biochemical effect of this hair trigger instinct causes causes Poor Performance under Pressure, cravings, stress symptoms, irritability, fear and many other damaging physical symptoms.
We are a culture often struggling with our primitive instincts that at one time offered survival advantages. Yet in today’s times, they are often at the heart of our inability to function well under pressure and deal effectively with the stressors in our lives.
