Mind Directs Brain Change
- Your mind is not at the mercy of your brain; your brain changes in response to your mind.
- Self-brain surgery is directed neuroplasticity guided by metacognition, attention, and intention.
Practice Metacognition Daily
- Practice metacognition by thinking about your thoughts instead of being swept by them.
- Choose what you pay attention to and set clear intentions to shape outcomes.
Mind Training Reshapes Key Brain Areas
- Mindfulness and metacognition increase gray matter in prefrontal cortex, anterior cingulate, and hippocampus.
- Those changes boost decision-making, willpower, drive, and emotional resilience.
