In this week\\u2019s episode, Chief Victory Officer, Eric Guy, is joined once again by former hospice nurse, Marissa Host. They discuss why it\\u2019s important to understand what your survival mechanisms are and why connection to others is crucial to living a happy life.

Takeaways:
- We are not designed to be violent, but rather we\\u2019re designed to love and cooperate.
- We have the ability to control the perceptions of our mind and therefore control ourselves and how we react.
- We need to access and change our conscious mind.
- Our perception can reverse a \\u201csurvival of the fittest\\u201d mentality into a \\u201csurvival of the most loving\\u201d mentality.
- Until the age of 6, children are downloading the way their parents are reacting and this will affect how they react to situations in their own life.
- Having an openness in our relationships creates oxytocin (\\u201cthe cuddle chemical\\u201d). This hormone creates empathy between people.
- Connecting with nature draws out all of the feel-good hormones.
- We need to live connected with people, or we\\u2019re cutting out something that our bodies are designed to do.
