Love Your Brain (The 8th Commandment of Self-Brain Surgery)

Your Brain is the Most Important Organ in Your BodyToday, a look at the 8th commandment of Self-Brain Surgery: I must love my brain and live in such a way as to protect and improve it. The Ten Commandments of Self-Brain SurgeryI must relentlessly refuse to participate in my own demise. I must believe that feelings are not facts, they are chemical events in my brain. I must believe that most of my thoughts are untrue. I must believe that my brain is designed to heal (Ryker’s Regular Legs) I must love tomorrow more than I hate how I feel right now. (No Tomorrow Tax! Corollary: I must not treat bad feelings with bad operations.) I must stop making an operation out of everything. I must not perpetuate generational thought or behavioral issues in my family or start any new ones. I must love my brain and live in such a way as to protect and improve it. I must believe that what I’m doing I’m getting better at. I must understand that thoughts become things. Leave a voicemail with your question or comment!
