Is the glass half-empty or half-full? Is life like a box of chocolates, you never know what you’re gonna get?
The lens through which we view life has a strong impact since our perceptions become our reality.
If you view life as an adventure, your body responds in a positive way–anticipating the greatness around the next corner. On the flipside, if you have a dreadful view of life and are waiting for things to fall apart…well, your body responds to that too. Literally, you change the communication in your nervous system depending on how perceive the realities of your life.
In this episode, we are discussing the question: how does your nervous system give you insight into the health of your beliefs and perceptions? Rachel and Derek share personal insights and will also give the science of how a thought can become a belief, and how you have a chance to decide if you want that to happen.
Learn. Be empowered.
