S2:E9 // The Neuroscience of Purpose with Michael Thompson

Self-Aware Millennial

Ever wondered why changing your thought patterns makes a difference? Or why people are so obsessed with "positive" thinking? Maybe you've even dared to imagine you have the power to rewire your brain, just by believing you do.
Turns out, you can!
In this episode, I talk to the Neuro Handyman (and my uncle), Michael Thompson all about self-awareness and our brains. In his thesis, the Neuroscience of Purpose, Michael explores how the voices in your head reveal the neural pathways you've created, and what you can do to change them.
Through sharing his story and research, you can begin to understand why it's important to remember you are not your thoughts. Your brain is a magnificent tool you use to experience and navigate the world. And, like all tools, when it's being used improperly, it causes a lot of damage.
The goods news? All this self-awareness bullshit is working! It's literally helping you create change, experience yourself and the world differently, and getting you closer to that elusive authentic self you're seeking.
Listen to this episode to learn how your thoughts truly do create your reality and that the power to change is all yours.
