Deep dives
Creating a Grateful Morning Ritual for Brain Health
Starting with a gratitude practice upon waking, Dr. Tara expresses thanks for her comfortable sleep environment, practices deep breathing, and indulges in a mindful cup of tea, setting a positive and grateful tone for the day ahead.
Harnessing Vision Boards for Manifestation
Instead of simply creating a vision board, Dr. Tara emphasizes using it as an 'action board' to remind oneself of goals and induce the brain to filter information to prioritize those aspirations, helping to visualize and embody desired outcomes for manifestation.
The Power of Gratitude and Visualization in Rewiring the Brain
Gratitude and visualization alter brain chemistry, increasing the release of oxytocin, the bonding hormone, and reducing cortisol, the stress hormone. By immersing oneself in the positive emotions associated with visualized outcomes and expressing gratitude, individuals shift their brain's focus from stress and fear to love, trust, and abundance.
The Impact of Emotions on Brain Functionality
Dr. Tara explains the seesaw effect of emotions on brain function, highlighting how emotions like gratitude and love counteract fear and stress, leading to improved brain chemistry. By cultivating positive emotions through visualization and gratitude, individuals can steer their brain towards a state of openness and receptiveness to manifesting desired outcomes.
Creating Vision Boards Effectively
When making a vision board, it is advised to leave space for unexpected manifestations as a mistake people often make is not allowing room for flexibility. By questioning the resonance of each image chosen and being open to new additions, individuals can align their intentions with their true desires. Delaying the finalization of the board can reveal internal beliefs about self-deserving, reflected in the hesitation to glue down images that represent goals not fully believed in, showing a deeper emotional connection to the process.
Impact of Stress on Health and Well-being
Stress triggers the release of cortisol, impacting both physical and mental health. High cortisol levels due to chronic stress can lead to increased belly fat deposition, compromising immunity and cognitive functions. Stress contagion from social interactions can affect health and decision-making processes, emphasizing the need for mindful activities to reduce stress and protect oneself from emotional influence. Understanding the brain's response to stress and fostering resilience through positive habits and mindset shifts can lead to overall well-being and personal growth.
