We are born positive. We come into the world with an innate desire to learn and grow and connect with those around us. Reconnecting with this super power is the solution to many of life’s problems and stresses. Negative bias will drain your fun and squash your joy faster than anything else. Most of us …

This subconscious control is put into place by your brain delegating tasks to, what I call, your “middle management filter”. This filter has been developed over time and was completely …
The human brain is amazing. Your nervous system control center can respond to information so quickly that we have to measure its processing speed in 1/1000ths of a second and it can generate a pulse of information at 300+mph, that’s faster than Tesla Model S Plaid in the HOV lane.
