3 Rules of our Brain


1. Brains don't have clocks... Brains are only able to process information in the present.


People sometimes say to me that they're over a circumstance from their past, however they remain somewhat hostage to the situation and the resultant emotions. They are dealing with the emotion in the present, not in the past.


If you want something in the future, you don't really want it in the future, you want it now!


2. Our brains focus on the object of a statement, not on a negative or positive. Try to not think about something... like pink elephants!


3. Our brains can't distinguish between reality and non-reality. Have you ever thought you'd done something or told somebody something? What we process in our brains is reality.

Albert Einstein (my favourite philosopher) said, "reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one.
Until later...
