Ep. 80 Why Your Brain Feels Like a Snow Globe (and How to Reset)
A Called & Curious conversation where faith, story, and brain science intertwine to help you live from the overflow.
Ever feel like your brain’s been shaken like a snow globe? Thoughts swirling, emotions flying, peace nowhere in sight?
When life feels shaken… Move, breathe, and let God clear your snow globe.
In this signature Called & Curious episode, Ashriel unpacks the Snow Globe Reset — a faith-meets-neuroscience way to calm your body, refocus your mind, and let Christ fill your globe with peace again.
You’ll learn why your body can’t just “think its way calm,” how movement sets the stage for stillness, and what’s actually happening in your attention system when you’re overwhelmed.
It’s the perfect mix of story, science, and soul — with relatable examples (yes, even spilled milk) and a biblical framework that helps you live from overflow instead of exhaustion.
🧠 In This Episode You’ll Discover
Why stress feels like living inside a shaken snow globe
The three attention systems in your brain — and how to restore them
How gentle movement tells your body “you’re safe”
What attention, memory, and prayer have in common
How “thought weeds” (a.k.a. cognitive distortions) cloud your clarity
How to shift from the Common/Fear Brain to the Love Brain through faith and practice
