The mind and brain aren't the same thing, and you control which one develops. Changing your thoughts shifts neuronal connections within seconds, triggering structural changes that reshape your brain to support new patterns.

There's women that are listening to this right now, and maybe some men, too. And so they're like, okay, what do we need to do? So give us three things that they can start doing right away.
Number one thing, that you have to believe that your mind and the brain and your brain are not the same thing. And you can change the stuff that you sit around and think about, and that will change the instructions you're giving your brain as to what to automate. And so once you really believe that in your core, that I have some agency and control over what my brain becomes, that I'm not stuck with the brain I've always had. We know from good research at what neurons do that there is literal instant change in neurons, connection to other neurons within seconds of you changing from one thought to another thought. Which means that this idea that you're stuck with this brain that's always been your brain, literally is waiting for you to give it different instructions than you've been giving it. And as soon as you do, it makes structural changes to become the brain that will support what you're asking of it. And so the first thing is believe that your mind and your brain are not the same thing, and that you have tremendous agency and control over what your brain becomes, and that it will start to become the way you need it to become as soon as you decide to think one thought or not another thought. That's tremendously empowering and hopefully.
