Your brain is not your boss

Here's something true from modern brain science: You're not stuck the way you are. Your brain constantly changes in response to your thoughts, so you're either getting better at staying the same/getting worse, or you're getting better at getting better.

Self-brain surgeons get better at getting better. The ninth Commandment of self-brain surgery is this: I must believe that I'm getting better at what I'm doing.

II Timothy 1:7 says God did not give you a spirit of fear, but of power, of love, and of a sound mind. II Peter 1:3 sad that his divine power has given you everything you need for your life.

So what's going to have the final say for you? Your automatic thoughts that research suggests are almost always wrong? Or scripture, which never changes and reflects the timeless truth of God's plan for you and is being validated every day by 21st-century neuroscience findings.

Let's get better at getting better together.

Save this for later when you need to remind your brain, who's boss, and share it with a friend who needs to believe that they really can get better.

Feelings are strong, they're loud, and they make you think that you have to react to them. The problem is, neuroscience is clear: most of the things you feel don't actually point anything that's really happening.

Happy people learn to check whether they're feeling against reality before they react to it.

The second commandment of self-brain surgery is that I must believe that feelings are not facts, they are chemical events in my brain.

Psalm 139:23 shows that asking God to help us discern between feelings and reality is the path to peace: "...test me and know my anxious thoughts."

If you learn to take a five second pause between something you feel and how you react to it that will give your frontal lobes time to catch up to your amygdala, critically think about what's going on, and decide on an appropriate response.

This simple move will make a huge difference in your quality of life.

Save this for the next time feelings feel overwhelming, and share it with a friend who needs to know that not everything they feel turns out to be true.

And follow me for daily connections between neuroscience and faith to help you achieve healing, hope, and higher performance.

Note: I am not a therapist, I'm a brain surgeon. But I'm also a trauma survivor, a war veteran, and the father of a lost son. I've spent 25 years studying how neuroscience and faith connect to help us flourish to find my own way back to hope again, and these things will help you. But they are not substitutes for the advice of your own mental health professional.

Your brain doesn’t know what time it is. Every time you replay that conversation from last year, that mistake from last month, that moment you wish you could take back from yesterday, your brain treats it like it’s happening right now. Same stress chemicals. Same alarm bells. You’re not remembering it. You’re reliving it, on a loop you built yourself.

That's because of two things: your brain doesn't know the difference between what's really happening and what you're just imagining, and neuroplasticity means that your brain automates things that you think about and turns them into programs that it runs without you having to think about them next time.

So, the more you rehearse something from the past or something you're just imagining, the more your brain builds out a reality as if that thing is still here right now.

The ninth Commandment of self brain surgery is, "I must believe that what I'm doing I'm getting better at." That means if you're doing things with your mind that are making your brain better at living in the past or worrying about imaginary outcomes, you're getting better at feeling worse. So knock it off.

Here’s the shift: you can’t edit the past, but you can stop rehearsing it. Every replay is a rehearsal, and your brain gets better at whatever you rehearse. Let's make neuroplasticity work for us and not against us.

We call that self-brain surgery. It's not easy at first, it's hard and holy work. But remember, you get better at whatever you repeatedly do

Philippians 3:13 says it like this: forget what lies behind and strain towards what lies ahead. Not denying it happened, but refusing to keep performing it. There's better stuff in the future, but not if you keep building a brain that lives in the past.

Follow me to connect neuroscience and scripture every day. Save this for the next time your mind hits replay. Share it with someone stuck on a loop.

Cuando duela el cuello y los hombros, no toques el cuello, levanta el pulgar y haz que la otra mano lo doble. Como los nervios están conectados, al relajar la tensión en el antebrazo, el nudo en el trapecio se resuelve de inmediato.
