Rewiring the Brain: Mind vs. Habitual Thought

This episode is brought to you by Vuori, Bon Charge, Cozy Earth, and Ollie.

When it comes to fitness, we don’t often think about training our brains. But today’s guest shows us that mental fitness is just as necessary. By rewiring our brains through repeated lessons, we can unlock our full potential and push past limitations. 

Today on The Dhru Purohit Show, Dhru sits down with Maya Raichoora to explore the power of the mind, our untapped capabilities, and how to rewire the brain to change the way we think, perform, and believe in what’s possible. Maya explains why what we repeat is often more influential than what is actually real. She also shares how to reframe doubt, practical techniques for visualizing the life we want, and why suppressing emotions can be harmful. Finally, she highlights how we can train our brains to focus on mental fitness and create lasting change.

Maya Raichoora is a leading expert in mental fitness and visualization. She is the founder and CEO of Remap Mental Fitness and an award-winning entrepreneur. Maya has over a decade of experience and has made history as Nike’s first-ever mental fitness trainer. She has mastered the practice of visualization and is on a mission to make it accessible to all.
