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.

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):ApproachBreatheInviteDependExperience
Level II (Self-Brain Surgery Practice):AssessBelieveIncisionDeepenExpect

Learning to Biopsy Our Thoughts is a Key to Healing
But sometimes, we biopsy those negative thoughts, and they turn out to be true. What then? Today’s dose of hope is learning what to do when your trauma, tragedy, or other massive thing has filled your head and heart with harmful thoughts, especially when the harmful thought is based on something true. 
Scripture: II Corinthians 10:5
