Today, we’re unpacking the science behind emotional energy—and how you can use it to work smarter, not harder.

The Science Behind Emotional Energy 🧠

Emotions don’t just happen; they’re deeply rooted in how your brain functions.
Here’s how they influence your every move:

• The amygdala processes emotional responses. When triggered, it heightens stress and decision fatigue.

• Labeling emotions (“I feel anxious”) has been shown to reduce stress by 50% (UCLA study).

• Gratitude practices activate dopamine pathways, rewiring your brain to focus on the positive.
