Change your brain

One of the audios that I am listening to is called "Change your brain, change your life" by Dr. Daniel Amen. Dr. Amen talks about all the different parts of the brain and their different functions and responsibilities. He explains how our personality traits and habits are linked to an over or under activity in various parts of the brain. This can be caused by a head injury, other traumatic experiences, genetics, etc. Now, if I had listened to this when I was 20, I'm sure I would have said "see that's why....I told you it's not my fault" and had a great excuse to be a victim to my brain, after all the Dr. said so. The fact is that in many causes it's not "our fault" that we behave the way we do. It is however, our responsibility to change it. Dr. Amen also talks about methods to "heal" that part of the brain that is not working properly. Nutrition, exercise, natural nutritional supplementation and various written and verbal exercises are mentioned. The more we understand how the human body works, including the mind, the better equipped we are to make the changes necessary to have the life we want.
