Stephen RichardsTo put it simply, the lizard brain is purely concerned with survival.
About This Quote
A lizard brain is simply an older brain. It doesn’t always make the best decisions, but it is mostly concerned with survival. For example, if you are in an area that is below freezing, you will not want to be out in the snow for long. Your lizard brain will not be thinking about how proud you are of yourself if you survive.
It will be thinking about how to keep you warm and safe. If you face a situation that makes your heart pound and your palms sweat, it’s probably a good idea to take a step back and think about it a little bit.
