In the last couple of decades, a new field of neuroscience has mapped the mental zone that can literally change the brain to quiet an overly active stress response system and simultaneously pave the way for higher brain networks to perform at optimum. The more you function from this ‘higher’ mental zone, the less you stress, and the more your brain lights up with the mix of intelligence that predicts a successful life.

When these higher networks wire and fire together, humming away at the brain speed of a hundred million computer instructions per second, you not only succeed, you excel at every level of life: from career to family, from physical and emotional wellbeing to fully actualizing your talent and ability. It’s a brain generating the fluid and creative intelligence to achieve goals, along with the emotional and social intelligence to instill joy in your work, peace in your life, and harmony in your relationships. It’s also a brain generating the homeostasis that promotes health and longevity. The key to all of these positive outcomes is building the mindset that transcends stress.

The good news is neuroscience has identified a solution to stress that goes far beyond conventional stress management. This approach not only repairs the damage caused by overproduction of the stress hormones, but also generates the neurological conditions that stimulate the growth of new connections within the higher brain that expand brain capacity, making people smarter, more innovative, and emotionally intelligent. The solution lies in the power of your mental state to rewire your brain. Change your mindset in specific ways and you can literally change brain structure to extinguish stress reactions and amplify higher brain function.

Every one of us have been given the power to change our mental state. It’s just a matter of knowing how you’re wired, then finding the techniques and exercises that work for you to bring you into the mindset that will literally change your brain structure to extinguish the stress reactions and amplify higher brain function. Learning the skill of Positive Presence will do that for you. And it will teach you to create that mindset in real time, right on the job.
