Our thoughts can change our brains in positive and negative
ways. If a brain scan was done on your
brain you could see that every thought stimulates different areas of the
brain. Positive thoughts suppress
regions of the brain that create negative feelings. Negative thoughts disrupt normal brain
functioning. This causes anxiety,
stress, depression, and disease. The
neurological evidence is clear. Optimism
enhances brain health and function.
If you want to experiment, think of your fears and
worries. Notice how you feel. Now think about your success, your core
values and all the people you love. You
will notice that your feelings change in your body and mind.
Neurological changes are taking place just with the power of
your thoughts. Our thoughts give our
lives meaning and purpose.
Stay focused on thoughts and feelings that give you hope and
faith. Self-reflection and social
awareness with kindness will grow new connections in your brain. Inner peace and compassion slows the aging
process.
