Day 83 ~ Inspiration

I recently found an inspirational speaker, a doctor that brings medicine closer to empower us. He would like us to understand that our emotions can get in the way of achieving our goals. That simple idea that has been suspected for more than two millennia can now be proved by technology. Nothing is really magical. A negative mental state releases hormones that impair the proper functioning of our prefrontal cortex, responsible for our highest-level cognitive abilities. Stress is designed to save us from perils but not to help us find creative solutions to the problems that life throws at us. When we tell ourselves: "I can't do it, I'm not good at that," we are bombarding our cells with cortisol and that emotional barrier suppresses our creativity. As we go through the trials and tribulations of life, we all carry two voices within ourselves, "the chatterbox" who kidnaps our emotions and "the inner master" who pushes us to seek new horizons. Which one do we want to follow?
