On this week’s episode I speak to Dr. Juna Bobby whose mission it is to help you stress less and be more all through the power of neuroscience. Dr. Bobby’s podcast RX Chill Pill, Meditate Your Brain shares powerful science backed antidotes to stress that actually work, speaking to ‘the right dose of experts’, inspiring stories of resilience and positive mind shifts that you can apply to you life. And I have her right here doing the same for you.
Some of the topics we explore this week:
How awareness is the basis for everything, followed by attention and motivation. Juna talks about neuroplasticity – that you can change your brain and knowing this immediately brings up your levels of attention of what you can change about yourself. That motivation has a neurochemical component to it which increases your ability to change the neuronal connections in your brain. And that knowing all of this gives people hope Juna says “when you know that something is possible you open your brain up to all these new ways of working and that’s really what learning is about – learning changes your brain.”
