Visualising the version of yourself that you are working on becoming allows your brain to focus on those attributes that are important to you - and therefore develop those in your life. Also, giving your brain comfort that where you are now is the right path allows the brain to feel safer - improving overall wellbeing. ❤️ _ I have a background in neuroscience and biochemistry from Queen Mary Unive...

There’s so much especially on social media - encouraging us to move forward and faster in life - chase that dream life. Generally striving for a better life is a good thing. But often, it can leave many feeling inadequate and restless - being stuck in the constant pursuit of success. The brain needs to find peace. And peace happens not in the future or past - but in the present moment. ❤️ _ I have...

Visualisation Episode 18 - You’ve got this Sometimes it can feel like there’s too much on our plate, and that we don’t know how we’ll manage. The brain can go into a downhill vicious spiral - and as a result we feel more and more helpless. The goal is to train to brain to understand that it’s capable - just the someway you’d encourage a child. You’ve got this. ❤️ _ I have a background in neuroscie...

Visualisation Episode 17 - Searching for Purpose There are so many people selling the idea of having a purpose. As a result many get lost in this search. And this search usually leads no where except emptiness. Thats because purpose is often a coping response to having been burdened with too much responsibility too early on in life. The purpose of life is to live. Free yourself from these old beli...

Visualisation Episode 16 - Overcoming procrastination The human brain is not built for success, it’s built to keep you alive. And by keeping you alive the brain prevents the loss of time, loss of energy and also from the suffering from physical or mental pain. By doing so, it procrastinates to avoid danger. It’s not because you’re lazy. There’s nothing wrong with you. Learn these steps in this vis...

Visualisation Episode 15 - Afraid of failure Babies are born with 2 fears. Loud noises and falling. Every other fear is learnt behaviour including the fear of failure. It’s possible to train the brain to be more courageous by deactivating the sympathetic nervous response. ❤️ _ I have a background in neuroscience and biochemistry from Queen Mary University, London.

Sometimes life can be hard. And if we become independent very early on in life - our brain can struggle to ask for help when we need it the most. It’s time for a new path. A path where you no longer carry all the weight on your shoulders. ❤️ _ I have a background in neuroscience and biochemistry from Queen Mary University, London. I have spent over 20 years specialising in focus and memory, and tr...

Our brain often holds on to events that we perceive to be negative in a self-blaming and regretful way. It creates a firm cage around this in a bid that this constant emotional pain will prevent us from repeating this in the future and also to punish ourselves. This isn’t living. This isn’t life. It’s time to let go. It's time to forgive yourself.

Sometimes challenges can seem like they are breaking us. And the more we go through, the more bruised and damaged we can feel. I want your brain to reframe this and understand challenges as a moulding process. And to focus on the fact that just like a diamond - the more it endures - the more beautiful it becomes. You are a diamond 💎 ❤️ _ I have a background in neuroscience and biochemistry from Q...

I want you to know that if your brain compares itself to others - and feels different, like there’s something wrong - that’s normal - your brain is designed to do that. But now as an adult it just comes in the way. So let’s rewrite this script. There’s nothing wrong with you. _ For any special visualisation requests please drop a comment below. - I have a background in neuroscience and biochemistr...

Missing someone who has passed is a deeply human experience, intricately tied to the cognitive and emotional frameworks within our brains. Neuroscience tells us that the bonds we form are etched into our neural pathways, with memories and emotions activating specific regions, such as the amygdala and hippocampus. This is why the absence of a loved one can evoke a profound sense of loss, manifestin...

In of our daily lives, we often seek solutions in the external world, forgetting that the most profound answers lie within the quiet sanctuary of our own brains. By closing our eyes and turning inwards, we embark on a journey to the core of our being, a place where the noise of the world fades into a hushed whisper. This introspective voyage is more accessible than it appears; it begins with a gen...

In the intricate dance of social interactions, many of us inadvertently shrink ourselves, masking our triumphs in a shroud of modesty. This isn’t merely a social faux pas; it’s a neurological conditioning that etches a deep-seated belief in our psyche: that celebrating our successes is somehow wrong, even dangerous. This phenomenon isn’t just about humility; it’s rooted in a primal fear of abandon...

The inclination to avoid speaking one’s truth can be traced back to the brain’s fundamental survival mechanisms, where the fear of negative social repercussions, such as judgment or abandonment, activates a protective response. This behavioral pattern is rooted in the brain’s evolutionary function to avoid risks that could threaten social bonds, crucial for survival in early human societies. Addre...

There are moments in life when the weight of the world feels heavy on our shoulders, and the thought of getting up and facing another day seems daunting. But within the depths of our brains lies a remarkable reservoir of resilience and strength waiting to be tapped into. When you engage your emotional brain and internally declare "It's time to get up," you're activating a cascade...

Your brain is wired to respond to stress and anxiety with lightning-fast reflexes. However, prolonged exposure to these states can take a toll on your mental and physical health, leading to burnout and exhaustion. Studies have shown that practices like stilling your mind while connected to your conscious breathing can activate the parasympathetic nervous system, eliciting the body's natural re...

From the moment you were born, your brain began crafting a unique narrative about your appearance, shaped by experiences and beliefs ingrained during childhood. Your brain developed mechanisms to prioritise survival, including the formation of beliefs that kept us safe and protected. These beliefs influence how we perceive ourselves and others, shaping our sense of beauty and worth. Your brain&#39...

Anxiety, while a natural response to stress, can wreak havoc on our mental and physical well-being. By understanding the inner workings of your brain, you can reclaim control over your anxious thoughts and feelings. When anxiety strikes, your brain’s stress response system goes into overdrive, flooding your body with cortisol – the infamous “stress hormone.” However, by employing evidence-based te...

Every small victory you celebrate has a profound impact on your brain and body. When you take a moment to acknowledge and celebrate your achievements, your brain releases a surge of feel-good chemicals like dopamine, serotonin, and endorphins. These neurotransmitters not only make you feel happy and satisfied but also fuel your motivation to tackle even bigger challenges! This is a powerful tool r...

Your brain is a marvel of evolution, finely tuned to assess threats and opportunities in the environment to ensure your survival and success. When you emotionally connect and internally declare “I am ready,” you’re tapping into a complex interplay of neurotransmitters and neural pathways that signal readiness for action. At the forefront of this neurochemical symphony is dopamine, often referred t...
