Today, I’m going to give you ten years of therapy in two minutes.

I'm a brain surgeon, and I'm gonna show you how to make rapid progress in healing the wounds you’ve been carrying; the ones from childhood, from broken relationships, from things said that can’t be unsaid, and from things done that can’t be undone. Let's scrub in and get it done.

Here's a Fact: Your Wound Lives in Your Brain, But Your Healing Lives in Your Mind

When something hurts you, your brain stores it. The sights, the sounds, the sting of the words, the shape of the moment. That storage is real and physical.

But here’s where the hope of healing lies: your brain doesn’t get the final vote on what that memory means to you. Your mind does. And your mind is not the same thing as your brain.

Neuroscience nugget: Emotional memories get encoded in circuits involving the amygdala and hippocampus, but each time you recall a memory, it becomes temporarily unstable and gets rewritten via a process called reconsolidation. That means every time you revisit a wound, you have a fresh chance to change how it’s stored.

Self-Brain Surgery Procedure: The next time an old wound surfaces, don’t just relive it. Instead, reframe it while it’s “open.” Ask: What is the truest, most redemptive way to understand this moment now? Speak that new understanding out loud before you let the memory close back up.

Scripture: “He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.” Psalm 147:3, NIV

This is self-brain surgery. Hard and holy work.

Follow me to connect neuroscience and scripture every day. Save this to help when you need to heal. Share it with a friend who's hurting.

Steve Jobs...

He died a billionaire at the age of 56. And his last words make us think about the meaning of
life...
- After all, wealth is just a life experience I've had the opportunity to know. At this moment, as I lay sick in bed reminiscing my entire life, I realize that all the recognition and wealth I achieved are insignificant and lack higher meaning in the face of impending death...
So,
take my advice and be courteous and considerate of others. As we get older, we become smarter and we gradually realize that a $30 watch and a $300 watch show the same time...
Whether we wear $30 or $300 purses, the same amount of money can fit in both..
Whether we drive a $150,000 car or a $30,000 car, the journey and the distance are the same, we always reach the same destination …. #HIMSS23

The person you will be in 5 years depends on:

• the food you eat
• amount of exercise you do
• how much sleep per day
• books or articles you read
• how much you write
• money you save and invest
• who you work with
• friends you spend time with
• new skills you develop
• connections you make and keep
• promises you make and keep
• where and how far you travel
• doors you open for others
• knowing when to leave
• new habits you develop
• quitting the stuff that holds you back

“ For in grief nothing "stays put." One keeps on emerging from a phase, but it always recurs…how often will the vast emptiness astonish me like a complete novelty and make me say, "I never realized my loss till this moment"?”- CS Lewis

Never forget that one of the main purposes of playing sports is to have fun. If you’re not having fun anymore, take a step back and think about how you can change your attitude, behavior, and environment to regain your love for sports.

"And the waves wash over me. Waves of doubt, failure, pain, joy, failure, over me, under me. I embrace this moment. Letting go of the past and the future, I embrace the present. I relent. I subside. I breathe." -@jonforeman
