-Ok that one might be true. But here are some that we definitely need to correct.
Your brain is so much more complex and beautiful than a device that can be turned on and off again. I think what we mean by that phrase is we’re finding it hard to access the brainwaves that promote rest and rejuvenation. That’s fair enough. The brain is a muscle as we know, and if you train it to be scattered, distractible, agitated and then resent it for your careful training when you can’t sleep at night… -you see where I’m going with this right? Train it to be all of those things for sure, but also train it to be a sanctuary, your happy place, a companion into sleep.
I should hope so too! Have you ever met a child or any other baby creature? They use so much of their brain power to understand the world around them, they need a lot more sleep than a mature animal. The brain demands a lot of energy, so it’s not that we only use about 10% of the potential, it’s that our brain becomes more efficient as we age. (Here’s a fun experiment; move all of your apps around on your phone, change a few of your closest friends to different names, and after a week, email me to tell me how tiring using your phone is).
I’m fairly confident we’ve got the processing and admin side of brain function sorted, so how about this month I teach you ways to rewire a few bits using your imagination? Instead of fighting with your mind; make friends and celebrate its incredible capacity!
I honestly can’t think of a better use of your time. After one month, the techniques are all yours for the rest of this lifetime (your brain will remember them of course, it's clever like that).
