Here are the takeaways from Episode 3 in our Seeds Series.
1. Our brain produces approximately 60,000 thoughts per day. 90% of those thoughts are repetitive throughout the day and from previous days. That breaks down to about 35-48 thoughts per minute.
2. There are 100 Billion neurons that connect 500 trillion synapsis in our brain, which travel 300 miles per hour.
3. Retrenching our thoughts throughout the day and over time reinforcing our beliefs, which we learned in episode one could be helpful or could be holding us back.
4. We have the opportunity to choose our own adventure in life when we are able to identify our own thoughts and begin adjusting the thoughts that aren’t serving us to experience the life that we want.
5. 85% of our decisions are made by our emotional self and the right side of our brain.
6. We are taught to lean into our linear, logical brain in our work life, but balancing out with right brain activities is healthy for holistic brain function.
7. For brain balance, try an ecstatic dance class, take a walk without listening to your podcast or music, bring a dog to work, go to a show, make changes in your workplace, spend time in nature, create a motivational mural, or go to a pottery class.
8. Your homework this week is to plan a play date with yourself. Plan something unique that you would not normally do that will put you in your creative, right brain. The purpose is to disrupt our brain patterns to build new neurological pathways and create your new adventure.
