- Neural Plasticity and Brain Health with Dr. Mark Williams Maria T. Finch 32:56
Ever wonder if it’s possible to truly change your limiting beliefs? It is! Join me for a fascinating and informative conversation with cognitive neuroscientist, Dr. Mark Williams. We talk about working memory and long-term memory and how they work together to give us positive associations as well as the mindcluck that can make us miserable. Our brain’s neural pathways that give us positive or negative associations come from past experience. The good news is that our brains are changing and can change all the time—this is neural plasticity. We all have the ability to carve new neural pathways—to change limiting beliefs that hold us back and make us feel bad. Doing so benefits us and everyone around us. Do not miss this episode!
What you’ll learn:
- You can identify limiting beliefs and choose to change them.
- The more you think of a new, positive belief, the stronger that belief (neural pathway) will become, and the limiting belief (neural pathway) will atrophy because it is no longer being activated. Cells that fire together, wire together.
- The best way to exercise the brain is to meet with someone in person and have a conversation. More of the brain is activated when we chat with someone.
- Our brains evolved to sense danger and to automatically start processes that alert us to danger (sweating, racing heart, etc.). But in today’s world, this fight/flight/freeze system gets activated automatically in situations that are not actually dangerous.
- By slowing down, taking a pause to actually notice what’s really going on around us in the present moment, we can recognize that we are not actually in danger and we can turn off the fight/flight/freeze response, which will relieve anxiety and increase our abilities to be productive.
- And so much more!
