FIRING & WIRING

Written By Duane Nelson

2 IDEAS FROM ME

  1. Our neurons fire with what ever thoughts we dwell on. When our neurons repeatedly fire together they wire together and become part of our normal thought patterns. Mindfulness creates the necessary space between our thoughts and awareness to intentionally wire our brains with constructive versus destructive thinking.

  2. Brain neuroplasticity enables a lifetime of learning for those with hollow-bones curiosity.

2 QUOTES FROM SAGES

  1. “How intention glows determines where attention goes, neural firing flow, and neural and interpersonal connection grow.” – Daniel J. Siegel (Aware)

  2. “Ineffective people live day after day with unused potential. They experience synergy only in small, peripheral ways in their lives. But creative experiences can be produced regularly, consistently, and almost daily in people’s lives. It requires enormous personal security and openness, and a spirit of adventure.” – Stephen Covey (7 Habits of Highly Effective People)

1 QUESTION FOR YOU TO EXPLORE

  1. Are you wiring your brain with constructive or destructive thoughts?

Namaste,

Duane Nelson
