Rewiring Your Brain for Growth Pt # 1
We explore how understanding brain function can unlock a growth mindset and enhance spiritual resilience, beginning with five brain basics that affect our thinking patterns.
• Our brains are naturally negative with a "negativity bias" that makes us Velcro for bad experiences and Teflon for good ones
• The brain constantly scans for danger, which helps survival but can create unnecessary anxiety
• Worry becomes habitual when we allow our brains to amplify stress and focus on what could go wrong
• Our minds dislike uncertainty and fill in knowledge gaps with assumptions based on past experiences
• We crave predictability and need strategies to handle unexpected situations effectively
• Romans 12:2 offers a biblical framework for transforming our thinking patterns
• Philippians 4:6-9 provides practical guidance for managing anxiety and directing our thoughts positively
