80% of our New Year’s resolutions fail by mid February! The hidden cause for our failure is the prevalence of stress in our lives, and a lack of a daily, monthly and seasonal plan to overcome these stressors. Combining her research on neuroscience, mindfulness and behavior change, Dr. Race created the Master Your Life Planner. And in this 2 hour awe-inspiring interactive workshop she provides a framework to create goals, habits and mindsets that will propel us to crush our goals and resolutions, one season, one quarter at a time.  

2 Hour workshops. All attendees must purchase a planner. 

As we move through our days and our lives our nervous system is constantly picking up on internal and external factors that influence how we feel, how we think, how we perform, and how we impact the people around us. Often, these subtle triggers create a brain state that can derail our mood, impact our productivity, and influence our ability to effectively engage with those closest to us. This loss of control is a terrible feeling that not only derails our best intentions, but exhausts us as well. 

In this 90- minute interactive workshop, Dr. Kristen Race explores the neurology of stress and delivers simple solutions to strengthen the internal capacities that help us navigate not only our own life’s challenges, but support those closest to us as well. 

Participants will:

• Develop a greater understanding of what triggers our nervous system
• Explore techniques to calm your brain on demand
• Create simple, easy to use, personalized solutions to optimize your reaction during times of chaos
• Learn vital insight into what best supports your partner's brain states
• Implement brain-based tools to maintain control during challenging parenting moments!
