Many times we go about our days with our head down, focused on our task at hand or buried in the depths of our own brokenness that we can’t even see past ourselves to others.

But what if we were able to change the world by leaving drops of joy behind us? There is a caveat, though: You can’t give what you don’t have.

Today Tricia shares how she went from being shut down in her grief and old wounds to being free to change other people’s lives just by sharing joy.

What are your “default” thoughts? What are your “default” actions? Are you pleased with either of these? Do you wish you would think more positively and act more Christlike? Would you like that to be your “default”?

Change is possible but it’s going to take practice, practice, practice. That’s because deep neural ruts and connections have been formed in our brains by our past “default.”

Today we discuss how to make those changes we so desperately need and want by working with the brain’s natural God-given design. The brain is designed to eliminate unnecessary connections and strengthen important ones. This means we have the ability to let go of negative thoughts, painful memories, and lie-based beliefs—while reinforcing faith, peace, and truth.

I’ll give you three areas to focus on to begin to make that change: pruning, feeding and fasting, and sleep.

Metacognition is what sets human brains apart from all other created beings’. It’s the ability to think about what we’re thinking about. Meta.

When was the last time you remember actively aware and thinking about what you were thinking in the moment when your emotional brain was spinning out of control?

When we’re thinking about what we’re thinking about, we’re able to make adaptive changes that make our lives enriched and feel more abundant and purposeful. Today we talk about actively engaging in this beautiful God-given gift – metacognition.

“Pura Vida” encapsulates how Costa Ricans cherish life’s simplest pleasures and find joy in the little things. “Pura Vida” – living in simplicity, in a quiet, calm pace of life – creates lower stress, lower blood pressure, lower chances of heart disease, and contributes to living longer. “Pura Vida” is a way of life that lures you in and invites you savor its unhurried pace. It is an intentional “less is more” mindset, creating white space to relax, reflect, and reconnect with God. In this episode, we discuss ways to live “Pura Vida.”

God is calling us into a place of continual, satisfying, unhurried rest in Him. To slow down. To make quiet and purposeful space. But this is counter cultural and flies in the face of everything we believe makes us valuable and worthwhile. The result is busy, frantic, unsettled lives, striving for something more. That “more” is found when we heed God’s call to “Rest, My Beloved.”

Not every day is going to be great. We’re not promised a life without struggles. In fact, before Jesus left this earth, He told us we were going to have troubles – John 16:33. What do we do about that? How do we continue on when things of this earth make us sad or heartbroken or frozen in fear?

There is an answer. In fact, there are 4 steps that can get you back to peace and moving forward.

Today, I want to take you behind the scenes of my own struggles these past few days and show you how I used the very tools I teach you to shift my thinking, regulate my emotions, and anchor myself in God’s truth.

Do you believe the God you say you believe in? Do you believe He will do for you what scripture says He will? Do you know who He is?

Today we explore what might keep you from being able to stay firmly rooted in faith when the floor is falling out from beneath you. And sometimes we have to go back to fundamentals to figure out exactly what it is we believe about God.

Have you ever looked in the mirror and not recognized yourself? You are just not “you” anymore. In an effort to get back to someone you recognize, you may even say, “I just want to be ‘me’ again.”

Unfortunately, or fortunately, you will never be able to go back to an old version of “you” again. That’s because your brain is changing each and every day with every single experience you have. Every day you are different. Join me as I give you some information backed by brain science that will help you ensure that today is the best version of “you” yet.
