The Growth Zone




      When we find something difficult or challenging, our brain can think this is

      a threat. Stress chemicals are then released into our body.




      If we feel capable again and again, feel good chemicals build-up in our

      system – enough to balance out the stress chemicals. They go green! We


      have entered the Growth Zone!




      It is not easy, but we can learn to tolerate the unpleasant feeling

      of growth.
