Train your Brain!

If you’re looking to make changes in your personal or professional circumstances, look no further than the immaculate design of your brain.

Neuroscientist Lisa Feldman Barrett teaches us that the brain is your key to success not because it is the center of any knowledge or wisdom, but because it efficiently discerns your environment and helps you adjust to changes. Our thoughts and emotions don’t just “arise;” on the contrary, we construct them. Our brain’s neural networks run nonstop simulations, making predictions and correcting them based on the environment rather than having some sort of magical, intelligent “reaction” to it. Our brain reprograms itself depending on the stimuli and circumstances you encounter. Your brain triggers your emotions and your thoughts. Once we integrate this understanding deeply, we have near infinite capacity to make changes and build the lives we want.
