Yes. It is true. You can actually flex your brain. In fact, the brain is so powerful that you can use it to do the following:
- Pain free. Studies have shown that by focusing on mental tasks such as reading and writing you can block out pain signals.
- Brain music. Listen to "brain music" to sooth and literally relax your brain. Give your neurons a break to rejuvenate. Check out the melody 'Neuroplastix Default Mode Network.'
- Brain Conversations. Talk to your brain. Studies have shown that by talking to your brain you allow your conscious brain to take over. Focus. Flex it.
- Harness the Power of Negative Thinking. Do this when you need to get out of bed and/or for some extra motivation. Recall something that was said to you negatively and learn to use it as daily motivation.
Why is this important? Because you can use this to battle painful situations involving the immune system and digestive system. Mind over matter. Also, believe in what you do everyday, Similar to those placebo studies that have been conducted by many psychologists you too can also assist your body in utilizing the most out of your workouts, supplements and food by simply focusing. Concentrate and take your time. Simply walk away with this last piece of advice. Don't forget that you as a Homo sapien possess one of the most powerful organs to ever exist on this earth. Embrace it.
