Like the hardware of a computer, the brain must function at an optimal level in order for Rosetta Stone Language Learning
us to run the software programs of life (learning how to function in child rearing, education, going through adolescence, training for a career, marriage, navigating mid-life crises, for instance). When the brain is hurt or damaged (such as when a computer does not have enough RAM, speed, or storage space), we cannot run these software programs efficiently and end up with a troubled life. As with computers, you need more than hardware. The hardware of a computer is powerless without an efficient operating system, or proper software. So, too, in our lives, we need effective programming (good parenting, optimal nutrition, spiritual practice, clear goals, positive relationships, opportunity, freedom from chronic stress, positive thoughts, and an attitude of gratefulness) in order for the brain to work right. A dynamic feedback loop exists between the brain and the events of our lives. The brain impacts our behavior and how we behave impacts actual brain function. The latest brain imaging research, which is my specialty and practice, has shown that thoughts, feelings, and social interactions all impact brain function, in potentially positive and negative ways. How we live our life matters. In addition, the condition of our soul and the spiritual connections we make has a strong impact on the physiology of the brain. It is a reciprocal relationship. I have seen how sin (doing things that you know are wrong) disrupts healthy brain function and leads to anxiety, fear, and depression, while living with integrity and having a positive relationship with God and others, actually improves brain function. A number of research studies have demonstrated Learn French Online
that people of faith suffer less from anxiety disorders and depression and recover 70 percent faster from these illnesses than those without a strong religious faith. The suicide rate, and even mortality rate, is lower for religious people than the nonreligious. The brain needs a healthy soul, and the soul needs a brain that works right. IN THIS ARTICLE, I WILL SHOW how the brain is involved in everything we do and how it must be considered in our day-to-day lives. The brain needs to be thought about when we try to explain the concepts of: ￠ good (it is likely that Mother Theresa had optimal brain function), ￠ evil (it is also likely that Hitler and other brutal dictators had faulty brain wiring, despite being able to rise to power), ￠ sin (in the New Testament the Greek word for sin is hermatia, or quite simply, missing the mark, which is quite easy to do with poor brain function), ￠ love (couples who thrive likely have more optimal brain patterns than those who struggle), it may not be his choice or his personality; it may not even be his upbringing or environment (directly), but a matter of his brain not working properly. Why its not working properly is a question not easily answered by saying he or she has a personality disorder, but the big triumph comes when Rosetta Stone French
we at least consider not whats the matter with you? but Whats the matter with your brain?
