Neural Plasticity 

Remarkable Points

✔ In order to change or update yourself:

First Act (Behavior First), then thoughts, feelings, and perceptions follow.

or as a moto "Mood follows Action"

✔ Use small rewards - punishments to move on

✔ In the phase of a physical threat, there are 3 options: freeze, retreat, or move forward. The moving forward response actually triggers activation of a connection in the brain to the dopamine circuitry of the brain and makes it more likely that you are going to be able to move forward in the future. Also important is that the highest level of agitation and stress help us to move forward. Stopping and relaxing is not helpful at all.

✔ Stress is designed to move us forward!!
