Brain Bites

Mental Health from the Inside Out

As humans, we can be overcome by negative brain messages that do not support our physical, mental and emotional health.

How we think becomes a habit based on how our sensory system interprets our life experiences. This is unique to each of us individually. Over time, 'our way' of thinking and perceiving becomes neurologically ingrained through regular use and repetition, whether it is positive or negative.

Unfortunately, if the wiring is negative (stress based), it can make us a slave to a not always beneficial master — our own brain! When our brain takes over our thoughts, attacks our self-worth, questions our abilities, overpowers us with cravings, or attempts to dictate our actions through fear, it is confusing and painful.

The interesting thing is, our brain does not have the ability to distinguish whether an action is beneficial or destructive; nor can it distinguish between what is real and not real. It just responds to how we behave and then generates impulses, thoughts, desires, cravings, and urges that will compel us to perpetuate the habit, whatever it may be. This is powerful news, and if we use our awareness, it can be used to our advantage. More...

All of the information she delivered I can use personally and I can transfer into my professional life. As well, I can use it with the kids!
