MYB 004: What Happens to Your Brain When you Think Positive Thoughts?
Even thoughts have the power to physically change your brain. Thoughts stimulate the release of neurotransmitters, which are the chemical substances that allow your brain to communicate with itself and your body. Neurotransmitters control a range of biological functions such as the release of hormones. They also control how you feel. In this episode you'll learn: - That it's not bad to experience negative emotions - What your brain does in response to positive thoughts - How positive thoughts effect your life - How neural pathways are developed - How synapses change to send messages quicker - How one type of thought wins out over another - Plus, how mirror neurons allow you to "try out" the emotions of someone else. This is my 10 minute BlogCast. Every Monday, I'll release a 10 minute or less podcast talking about my blog for the week.
