8 things to tell your brain every day (backed by neuroscience and scripture) Your brain will treat whatever you feed it as true. So put yourself back in charge. Here’s what I say: 1. I’m safe right now. 2. I can change my brain. 3. I’m enough. 4. Mistakes are how I grow. 5. Not everything I think is true. 6. My presence matters. 7. Every day is a new opportunity. 8. Stop saying “why.” Start saying “what’s next.” This isn’t positive thinking. It’s taking thoughts captive and giving your brain a different command. (Romans 12:2 has been saying this longer than neuroscience has.) Save this so you can review the list later. Share it with someone who needs to hear it.

Stop waiting to live your own life! The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is right now. And hear this: the most ready you will ever be is this moment. Every day you wait, you hand your brain another reason to stay still. But every day you begin, you start building a different life. That's Self-Brain Surgery. Your mind decides. Your brain follows. "Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing." Isaiah 43:18-19 Leave a comment if you're ready to lock in.
