Reaction – Response & Amygdala Hijack

From the very first day, I was quite nervous because it was a new place and I didn’t know anyone from the centre. But Bhumika Ma’am and Arshi Ma’am made the class so light and comfortable that I quickly felt at ease.

One of my biggest learnings was “Amygdala Hijack.” I understood how triggers can make us react emotionally, and I started applying this learning in my own life. Whenever something triggers me, I now try to take a deep breath and count backwards before responding.

On Day 2, I was a little sleepy but also excited for the Teachers’ Day special meal celebration 😂😍. We started with a fun “This and That” game and then discussed Reaction and Response. I learned the importance of pausing, understanding the situation, and choosing how to respond instead of reacting instantly.

The tower-building game was another fun part of the session. It taught us teamwork, patience, and communication while having lots of fun.

Overall, it was a wonderful mix of learning, fun, reflection, and growth. ❤️
