In this video I talk about how the brain is 95% hardwired by the time we are in our adult years, including our pain! But don't give up hope! Through neuroplasticity we can change how it's wired. If we don't choose to interrupt our own thoughts, emotions, behaviors and perceptions, we end up living a pre-programmed life that is based on our past experiences. In order to rewire our brain, we have to teach ourselves a new way of thinking by thinking beyond how we feel. We do not have to be controlled by our past emotions. Joe Dispenza talks about how our personality traits are built off of an event that led to a thought, that lead to an emotion, that led to a mood, to a temperament, and finally to a personality trait. When those personality traits were learned from a fearful moment, our brains become programmed to fear and nervous system dysregulation. Taking the truth that Christ gives us we can challenge our thoughts, think deeper than we feel and diligently and with perseverance we can teach our brain to wire differently. The bible is full of examples of him asking us to think in ways that are contrary to our flesh and what comes naturally to us. Neuroplasticity is all over in the bible. By allowing God to heal our hurt from the past, and then embracing and noticing the blessings in the "today," we can rewire our brains with truth, freedom and love from God.
