You've bought a present for me in this box and I feel nervous and excited. So, this is a human brain with a spinal
00:00:08
cord. Such a masterpiece. But what people don't know is that we have four different structured parts of our brain
00:00:14
that automatically shape how we think, feel, and behave. But what if it's not unconscious? What if we could pick and
00:00:20
choose who and how we want to be in any moment on purpose? Like we can manifest our own mental health.
00:00:26
And by the end of this conversation today, you're going to teach me how to do that. Absolutely. You're going to so
00:00:30
get it. But we have a problem. We are skewed as a society to the two parts of the left brain which focuses on me, the
00:00:38
individual. How do I fit myself into a society? And trauma is living in there as is cravings and addiction. And we
00:00:44
need this. It protects us. We get in trouble when this is the only portion of our brain that we value because look at
00:00:50
the world we currently live in. So is there a strategy for making sure that you don't act upon it? Well, so
00:00:55
many people are trying to get rid of their emotional reactivity. But the way to heal it is not to get rid of it. I
00:01:02
mean, we're wired for this. Why do I want to just put myself in a little box and say, "I don't want to have pain. I
00:01:07
don't want to be mad. I want to be a robot. I don't want to be a robot. I want to be a whole human with a whole
00:01:12
brain." Like, this is life. And it lasts this long and then it's gone. And it took me losing the left side of my brain
00:01:19
for 8 years to realize just how how precious this thing is. So, how do I control and protect my brain at all
00:01:25
costs? Well, there's a lot. So, you ready?
