Embrace Your Brain

Toddlers, rocket scientists and tribal elders all do it.  But most of us don’t give this great tool a chance. Why is that?  And what’s it good for?   

There’s no right answer to the wrong question.  But sometimes a simple flip can lead to breakthroughs.  Next week we begin exploring systems thinking!

Are you stuck with a problem you don’t like? Check out how scientists discover new solutions. One of their strategies might work for you too.

Are you in love with being right? And is it getting harder to come up with creative new ideas? Google might be spoiling your brain!!

Have you ever seen a grown up deep in conversation with a 3 or 4 year old? Wish you could do that too? Here are some of their secrets.

Holographic ways of thinking bring peace and healing. So why don’t we do it more often? The problem may be our attachment to fixed intelligence.

Some folks live a highly repetitive life, tied to nature.  Why aren’t they bored? The secret? They receive gifts from those deeply familiar lives.

A holographic heart is an open heart. It’s easy to take in all the highs. But to keep our hearts open, we must learn to feel the pain and sorrow too.

Imagine a conversation without winners and losers. Can we understand more deeply by shifting how we listen? Perhaps holographic listening holds the key.

Have you ever searched for something, only to have it jump out at you? If so, you were practicing holographic seeing.  It’s a great skill to cultivate.

What creates holographic moments and how can we recognize them? A few are triggered by fear, but most are cherished moments that make great memories.

Nature loves them and so should we.  Some of our body parts carry holographic maps of our whole body! Even our brains can send holographic messages.

Once holograms were discovered, we realized nature loved them. Our brains depend on them! However, we haven’t learned to apply them to our lives yet.

When did it get so hard to believe the news? Now we don’t even trust the pictures! We need a new approach to speaking, listening and creating images!

Ever been gridlocked by chaos?  Search for a tiny entry point into the mess. Often it just takes a tiny adjustment to flip chaos into workability.

Oral traditions used stories, rituals and teachings to keep their cultures alive. Their brilliant memories made it happen. Why can’t we do that?

How are your prediction skills? Does your brain spot trends before they happen? As we watch social media items go viral, are we training our brains?

Can we move beyond argument and persuasion? We can if our brains shift to holographic thinking! It can start with lens based learning in the schools.

Stealing lenses is at the core of the master-apprentice relationship. Discover this art of learning by lens building. You may already be good at it!

Does thinking have a voice?  It does if you can hear yourself think. That miracle comes with the brain changes at age 7.  But it needs protection.

What if we could help every child grow up with a compassionate heart? Would we do it? Can we also make them strong enough to live an openhearted life?

Our brain builds lenses to study our world. Most lenses go for details but not our safety lenses!  They just go for speed and that can be a problem.

We may be seeing different realities!! Our brains only polish certain lenses for us. Discover how this happens and what lenses you rely on most.

Are you so laid back it seems impossible to reach a peak performance? Use your slow speed to incubate. Then when the Aha! kicks in, you can soar!

Does high energy distract you from doing your best? There are great ways to harness that energy. Learn how to settle into your best performance level.
