One of the key ways to expand your brain and practice neuroplasticity is to have supportive relationships in your environment. We learn and change best in safe, supportive relationships. Feeling socially connected diminishes stress and can even reduce inflammation while feeling judged or “less than” others can create fight or flight responses in the brain which inhibit learning. Additionally, when we feel we are being heard and understood, it increases the connective neural fibers in our brains—fibers that are crucial for bringing together disparate areas for increased cognitive function. And if you are managing your relationships at work it’s great. And you may contact me, to explore how can I help you so you can have more impact on this matter. #Neuroplasticity #SupportiveRelationships #PersonalGrowth #ProfessionalDevelopment #StressReduction #CognitiveFunction #CoachingImpact

Creativity’s Neural Origin Revealed Researchers have uncovered how the brain's default mode network (DMN) collaborates with other regions to produce creative thought. Using advanced brain imaging, they observed that the DMN activates first during creative tasks, followed by synchronization with areas involved in problem-solving and decision-making. This discovery shows that the DMN plays a crucial role in initiating and evaluating creative ideas. These findings could lead to new interventions to enhance creativity and treat mental health disorders linked to the DMN.

The personality type that we have has a neural code. The human brain is formed of billions of neurons that communicate with each other with the help of NEURAL FIRINGS AND WIRINGS. Like our fingerprints that are unique to us, our behavior too has a pattern. As we transition from our childhood, to teenage to adulthood, our personality is shaped by the decisions we make, and in the process of adulting, we are worn out by various circumstances in life. If you start observing very closely and pay attention to the behavior, reaction, and survival strategy of your parents and siblings, you will understand that most of your behavioral patterns are similar in many different ways. Let me break this down for you - 1. Believing that if you are too happy, something bad will happen. 2. Escaping toxic environments by shutting down conversations. 3. Never allowing yourself to express how you feel. 4. Avoiding uncomfortable conversations. 5. Discussing ONLY the negative sides of people (relatives and family members) 6. Holding grudges and believing in hyper-independence. 7. Ghosting people (abandoning people without giving them any reason) 8. Difficulty in saying NO and being a people pleaser. 9. Trying to control how others feel and react. 10. Assuming why someone could react in a certain way without asking them directly. These are some of the patterns that we tend to carry unknowingly from our previous generations (a kind of generational trauma you can say) that is normalised so much that we don't tend to find any fault with this. But trust me, when you start healing, you will learn to identify - 1. Where it went wrong? 2. Why do you behave in a certain way most of the time? 3. Why do you land in the same situation again and again? And the second beautiful part about healing is that - The same toxic environment won't trigger you anymore. You will learn what is wrong and what is right. And the best part, even if you are physically present in the same toxic environment, your neural wiring and firing will have undergone NEUROPLASTICITY (the changes in the way you BEHAVE, REACT, AND ABSORB negativity in the environment.

Change is entirely possible because of neuroplasticity. In our work, we encourage our clients, patients, or students to seek out experiences that teach them new adaptive coping strategies ( while we are training their cognitive skills), and in the process deliberately create new (or strengthen existing) neural circuits. To explain it we tell them, "You need to get out of your comfort zone to rewire your brain. But don't worry, you can do it incrementally. Instead of diving off the high diving board when you don't know how to swim, try jumping off the edge of the pool into the deep water ...just out of your comfort zone." We are training our client's brain to respond in new and more effective ways to their challenges through our intensive BrainRx Cognitive training. If they wait till they're completely confident to try something new, they'll not change and grow as quickly. We NEED mild stress in order to change, Change Needs Time.

Aggression and anxiety are two complex aspects of human behavior that have long intrigued researchers in the field of neuroscience and mental health. Exploring the intricate web of social context and neurobiological links, this thought-provoking article sheds light on the interplay between these two phenomena. In the vast realm of neuroscience, understanding aggression and anxiety requires delving into the social context in which they manifest. It is within our interactions with others that these behaviors often find their roots. Whether it be in the harsh glare of a bullying environment or the tense atmosphere of a high-pressure workplace, the dynamics of social interactions can greatly influence the expression of aggression and anxiety. But what goes on beneath the surface? What neurobiological mechanisms contribute to the manifestation of these behaviors? Neuroscientists have zoomed in on several key players, such as the amygdala, prefrontal cortex, and neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine. These intricate neural networks intertwine to regulate our emotional responses, decision-making abilities, and stress levels, all of which play a significant role in shaping our aggression and anxiety. The research highlights the fascinating link between aggression and anxiety, revealing that they often coexist and influence each other. For example, individuals with high levels of anxiety may be more prone to aggression as a coping mechanism, while those with aggressive tendencies may experience heightened anxiety due to the social repercussions of their behavior. This intricate dance between aggression and anxiety further underscores the importance of considering social context and neurobiological factors in understanding these behaviors. #thedancebetweenaggressionandanxiety #breakingthecycleofviolence

One way to avoid being replaced by AI is to be innovative and creative. The key is to WEAKEN the conscious brain. What are the two best ways to weaken the conscious brain? Said another way, what are the two highest brain abilities? #dissolve #mentalhealth #flowcess #psychology

One way to avoid being replaced by AI is to be innovative. Creativity and innovation is done with the unconscious brain, NOT the conscious brain. In fact, the conscious brain needs to be weakened. Here's an example... #dissolve #mentalhealth #flowcess #psychology
