## Resource

Stress hijacks your brain’s focus, turning your amygdala into an overzealous alarm system that amplifies threats and ignores the good. New research reveals how stress hormones literally rewire your brain’s info-prioritization, making negativity louder than positivity — not a weakness, but a biological reflex. This could explain why we spiral in tough times, and it’s sparking hope for smarter mental health tools like mindfulness and CBT to recalibrate your brain’s stress response.
