• I Will Not Pass it On (The 7th Commandment of Self-Brain Surgery)
    May 4 2024

    It's Wildcard Wednesday!

    Today, a look at the 7th commandment of Self-Brain Surgery: I must not perpetuate generational thought or behavioral issues in my family or start any new ones.

    The Ten Commandments of Self-Brain Surgery
    I must relentlessly refuse to participate in my own demise.

    I must believe that feelings are not facts, they are chemical events in my brain.

    I must believe that most of my thoughts are untrue.

    I must believe that my brain is designed to heal (Ryker’s Regular Legs)

    I must love tomorrow more than I hate how I feel right now. (No Tomorrow Tax! Corollary: I must not treat bad feelings with bad operations.)

    I must stop making an operation out of everything.

    I must not perpetuate generational thought or behavioral issues in my family or start any new ones.

    I must love my brain and live in such a way as to protect and improve it.

    I must believe that what I’m doing I’m getting better at.

    I must understand that thoughts become things.

  • The Amazing Gardener in Your Brain (Wildcard Wednesday)
    May 1 2024

    Your Brain is an Amazing, Constantly Changing Architectural Wonder!

    In today's episode, we'll look at how fearfully and wonderfully made you are, learn about the scaffolding (microtubules) and gardeners (microglia) that God gave you to help form the connections between neurons to constantly reshape your brain. Did you know that you can make new connections in your brain within 30 minutes of directed thought, and that within one month of learning to calm your mind, you can increase emotional regulation capacity by over 20%?

    Join me for a deep dive into the wonder of microtubules, and learn how to actively shape your brain to become more resilient, healthier, feel better, and be happier.

  • Quantum Mind Change (Mind Change Monday)
    Apr 29 2024

    It's Mind Change Monday!

    We're continuing to learn a new way to pray and learn to use our minds to change our brains, and help us seek the abundance and peace Jesus promised us in John 10:10!

    Quantum physics gives us two principles of how constantly looking at a situation can keep it stuck in that state, and the same is true in our lives. Learning to shift our viewpoint, relax, and trust God's promises can help us change our minds and begin to move forward.

    Today, we take another look the ABIDE practice, take it one level deeper, and learn a self-brain surgery operation that will help us become healthier, feel better, and be happier in any area of our lives. Neuroscience and faith smash together hard in this one!

    Remember the ABIDE prayer/meditation practice:
    Level I (Hearing):
    Approach
    Breathe
    Invite
    Depend
    Experience

    Level II (Self-Brain Surgery Practice):
    Assess
    Believe
    Incision
    Deepen
    Expect
