What about the declining aging brain? The brain ages, but, like fine wine, it does not have to decline. The brain develops throughout all of life. Supposed short term memory loss is a myth. It isn’t a loss. It is the reorganization and emerging “second half of life brain” which is developmentally changing from smaller thinking to getting the bigger picture. The brain has the developmental task in the second half of life to transfer the psychic energy of short-term memory into wisdom and “getting the larger picture”. Positive emotion is the anti-oxidant of the brain- it cleans up narrow and negative thinking that causes negative aging. This negative and rigid thinking is also related, we are finding, to Alzheimer’s.
Neuroplasticity proves to us that the brain can always change.
We are increasingly finding the greater and greater degree to which it can change.
How do you want to change your brain?
What thoughts and patterns of feelings do you recognize that take you down the road to negativity and personal rigidity?
You are learning to create a State of Mind (SOM) called Certitude. Tell us how you are doing it and what it’s like!

A mental equivalent is a state in which your feelings match what you want. That is to say that you can “feel” now how what you want feels. If you think that getting such and such a thing would make you feel such and such a way, the stretch of growth here is to feel how you would feel if you got what you think would make you feel that way.
It is really what faith is. Faith is knowing that you already got what you want, at some point, in some way. The feelings which that produces are the mental equivalent of what you’re asking for. If you have the faith that you’re going to get a thing or that something will come true for you, your feelings match how you will feel when it comes to you.
In a state of “flow”, you are so involved in living that you are feeling the feelings of immersion in what you are doing. Being immersed in life is feeling the feelings of living in the moment, feeling how you feel when you know that what you want is coming to you in one way or another and at some time or another. It is knowing, rock bottom in your gut, that when one door closes another better door opens. Know it, focus on what you want, feel it and get into the flow of life and see if your deepest desires don’t show up for you. I know they will!
A Mental Equivalent State of Mind
Would feel:
Excited
Eager
Anticipatory
Joyful
Appreciative
A little in awe and wonder
There is no reason why you can’t feel a little of that right now!

Make a decision to start the Emotional Gym and embrace and incorporate it every day for thirty days.
Feel the emotions of gratitude, love, peace and joy 10 times a day. On a scale of 1-10, if 1 is a little and 10 is a lot, feel the emotions at a 3 or a 4. Feel each emotion for about 5-10 seconds each time. You are “pulsing” the emotion 20 times at a low level of feeling. Don’t try to make the emotion last longer and don’t try to make it more intense. Work for a series of ten pulses of gratitude for about 10 seconds over and over until you have ten. Then do the same thing with the other primary emotions of love, peace, and joy. This purpose is to learn to get to the feeling of each of these emotions instantly, on call.
These emotions can become the ambient emotional sound-track of your life. You are building emotional “muscle” and you are starting to work on mood predisposition.

You shed the skins of the past by moving forward with positive plans, positive hopes, and positive intentions. You could leave a lot of baggage behind just by getting on with your life.
We give much too much attention to what is wrong rather than what is right. We focus much too much light on problems and negative feelings and not nearly enough on getting on with it. We are made to be resilient and to “bounce back”. And the process of healing depends on the forward moving process of growth to bring strength, resilience and “bounce back”.

Feeling overwhelmed or even the intimations or hints of things that act as signals for “overwhelm” are not fun. They are scary. In overwhelm, we are on full negative alert; when there is just a signal, we go into an “alert” mode that is negative. And then, of course, what follows is that we attract more and more “overwhelm.”
You are Wired for Pleasure and Feeling Good!
You are wired for pleasure; your nervous system is wired for pleasure. The “fear/anxiety response” is largely learned over time as a warning system. You are not wired for fear and anxiety, except as a temporary, preventive state.
Your Opiate Receptor is Ready To Work “Feeling Good” in you!
Every cell in your body, particularly those in your frontal lobes –the decision making part of your brain—contains an opiate receptor. That means that every cell is your body is set up to receive the natural endorphin or “feel good” chemicals of the body, so that you can grow and evolve in a healthy way
VibeCore: Know what you want, believe you will get it, be open to how it comes and you can change your biology right down to the neurotransmitters in your brain!
Here’s the deal. Here’s the secret. Know and say what you want and feel how that would feel and live there in that feeling. Feel from that place over and over and over and over and over again and over exponentially. You CANNOT be in “overwhelm” and feel the feelings of what you want at the same time. So practice!
