Why Your Mind Reacts Before You Can Think — and How We Rewire That
You have two minds that shape every moment: the one that thinks and the one that reacts. When something triggers old fear or shame, your reactive mind jumps in first — just like how you’d flinch at a spider before realizing it’s harmless. The ShiftGrit approach helps you retrain that automatic system so your reactions finally line up with what you know to be true — calm, confident, and in control.
