Paramahansa Yogananda tells us about electrical pathways in the brain, but we ask the difficult question – why do we take the paths that we take in life? What grooves do our lives follow? How does Kriya help determine the path? The latter question is answered by Dr Andrew Newberg, confirming Yogananda was talking of neuroplasticity some 50 years before modern-day scientists. Fellow devotee Marguerite, who is great supporter of the podcast, joins us to share her insightful reflections. 0:00 Meet Marguarite; 14:55 Summary of the minute and Yogananda's advanced vocabulary; 21:20 Preparing for death; 29:13 Neuroplasticity; 59:47 Marguerite's feedback about our podcast.

Click for full show notes, exercises, and parenting scripts from this episodeFor centuries, parents have been locked in a nature vs. nurture debate, trying to uncover the forces behind our teens' development. Some parents believe nature has majority control over who teens become, and that things like personality, mental health issues and risk of addiction are passed down through the gene pool. Others think that these factors are mainly influenced by socialization, parental behavior and cultural influence–meaning the way we treat our kids shapes who they become. When teens are exhibiting behavior we're not exactly proud of, it can be tempting to blame biological factors. We let ourselves off the hook, claiming that there's nothing we could have done to stop their substance use or aggression anyway. But constantly attributing kids' behavior to nature can be inaccurate and even harmful! It stops us from critically examining the way we've influenced our teens, and even perpetuates certain sexist or racist agendas by declaring “natural” differences as the foundation for discrimination.To understand the nuances of this ongoing nature vs. nurture debate, we're talking to Jesse Prinz, author of Beyond Human Nature: How Culture and Experience can Shape the Human Mind. Jesse is a Distinguished Professor of philosophy and Director of the Committee for Interdisciplinary Science Studies at the Graduate Center of the City University of New York. He's been conducting research on the mind for over twenty years, and has authored multiple books and over a hundred articles on topics like consciousness and emotion.In our interview, Jesse and I are discussing how using nature as the default explanation for kids' development can lead to harmful discrimination. We're also discussing how affluence plays a role in who teens become, and debating whether parents or peers have a biggest influence on teen behavior.Click for full show notes, exercises, and parenting scripts from this episode

In this episode we'll take a look at why happiness matters and how we can start to make a shift toward feeling more positive in our lives. For some people, “happiness” is a triggering concept, if it feels elusive or inauthentic, irresponsible in the crazy world we live in. And I don't advocate toxic positivity, or ignoring the bad situations that come along or putting the lid on the other emotions that we do feel. What research does support, however, is that by putting attention toward consistent, simple positivity-boosting practices, it makes it easier to feel more positive more often.  You can even begin to cultivate happiness as a superpower. In this episode we discuss: Why happiness matters, and the benefits of feeling more positiveIf happiness is geneticHow neuroscience works in our favor, and how I used it myselfWays to to shift the habit of worry to feel more hopeful Why it's so important to celebrate our winsHonoring all or our emotions Ready to learn more about the Happiness Reset?

Fortunately, you can re-wire yourself to stimulate them in sustainable ways.But it's hard. It's like learning a foreign language: it takes a lot of repetition. Yet people do it every day. You can be one of them! You can design a new path to your happy chemicals and repeat it until it's strong enough to turn on easily. The Inner Mammal Institute shows you how.The Inner Mammal Institute has free resources to help you make peace with your inner mammal: videos, blogs, infographics, and podcasts. Dr. Breuning's books explain the big picture and help you plot your course step by step. No matter where you are right now, you can enjoy more happy chemicals in healthy ways.

Neuroplasticity educator and parenting expert Nathan Wallis talks with Kathryn about the advantages of children starting school at six years old. He says while it goes against the norm in New Zealand, in most countries across the world, the starting age is six, often seven. He says those children who start school when they are older than five may be doubly advantaged - by having more free play when their brains need it most, and by being older than their peers when they do start school.

Deb Shaw was at the top of her career, selling cybersecurity technical products to government customers for a silicon valley powerhouse. Things were going great. Then she had a stroke. And then she had another stroke. And then she had a third stroke, paired with a concussion. Since then, she started a nonprofit with her husband and has produced more than 10 booklets for stroke survivors to help them navigate their new lives. Recently, the American Heart Association named Deb their latest Survivor Hero. Deb shares her journey in this conversation. If you don't see the audio player below, visit http://Strokecast.com/deb to listen to the conversation.   Click here for a machine-generated transcript About Deb Shaw Deb Shaw is an inspirational three-time ischemic stroke survivor and the Founder & President of a nonprofit who remains steadfastly upbeat, despite her ongoing difficulties. Deb channeled her energy into creating “Champion the Challenges,” a nonprofit organization that helps motivate stroke survivors to pursue her three P's of a successful recovery: Patience, Positivity, and Practice. Be patient in everything, have a positive outlook, and practice your exercises every day. Deb founded and launched ChampiontheChallenges.org, a rapidly growing 501c3 focused on helping stroke survivors reimagine their stroke rehabilitation journey.  The website is filled with inspirational content, therapy ideas, and success stories all designed to encourage.  Deb has written 11 Quick Read Booklets ™ that are geared to inspire and educate the stroke community. The booklets are available on-line as flipbooks, or in print editions, all compliments of Deb. “Champion the Challenges” was started during Covid because she wanted to share the inspiration, motivation, technology, and helpful stroke ideas, all in one website. This is her way to give hope to many people needing to discover their inner strength. 3Ps Deb's approach to recovery is based on the three Ps: Patience Positivity Practice Patience with yourself is critical. While we are all trying to recover, it doesn't always happen as quickly as we would like. Sometimes we can't do things yet that we feel like we ought to be able to do. That's okay. It happens. Getting angry and frustrated with ourselves may be natural in the moment, but ultimately is not helpful. We need to be patient with our brains and our bodies to give them the space they need to heal and to relearn our lives. Positivity helps us get through the day. Negative feelings are natural and okay in the moment, and long term they can become a problem. Living in and dwelling in the negative is not going to get us where we need to be. A positive attitude and approach to our tasks and lives may not guarantee success, but I have never heard of someone succeeding while dwelling in a cloud of negativity. Practice is the other key element. A positive attitude may make recovery a possibility, but it's practice that can turn that possibility into actual success. Neuroplasticity is a powerful force in recovery, and building those new neural pathways requires thousands of repetitions of activities. It takes practice and then more practice. 2022 Stroke Hero Awards: Survivor Hero – Deb Shaw https://youtu.be/T7n4qx1JR-g Llamas and Alpacas For my Girlfriend's birthday, we went to Topstall Farm to visit play with llamas and alpacas. It's a short 1.5-2 hour drive from Seattle. The person who runs the farms limits groups to 6 people so we get a personal experience. She told us all about the critters and explained how they care for them.   Then we got up close and personal. We walked into the paddock and got to feed them by hand. One thing that amazed me was how soft the alpacas lips were as they took the pellets right from my palm. They were aggressive about getting to the food but gentle about taking it. After we fed the alpacas, we took the llamas for a walk. It was 2 people per llama. Cathy and I got to take Armando on a half mile hike around the property.  Armando wasn't terribly interested in the walk, but he went along with it. Every 20 or 30 feet or so he would stop and bend down to start snacking on some grass, as though to convince us he hadn't eaten in FOREVER. We weren't buying that however. The walk itself was a challenge because it wasn't a paved path or smooth trail. The ground was uneven and muddy in places, as you would expect. I managed pretty well with my cane (I used the cheap one), but I certainly got my PT in for the day. This is the alpaca I spent time feeding. His name is Woody. He's 14 years old and deaf since birth. His different color eyes are also a genetic quirk. Once we all wandered into the paddock with our bowls of food, Woody ignored everyone else and sauntered right up to me for his snack. Isn't it a coincidence that the disabled llama found the disabled human and decided to make a friend? Maybe, but I like to think he sensed a connection. If you want to get up close and personal with live, fluffy animals, and you happen to be in the Puget Sound region, head on over to Topstall Farm. Tell Armando, Woody, and (oh, yeah) their humans that I said, "Hi." COVID-19 It took more than two years, but COVID-19 finally got me. I was on a business trip in Hawaii. It was a successful trip, which was great. The day before I was supposed to fly home, I felt off, and not in a stroke-y way (you know what I mean). I took a rapid test. The instructions say to wait 15 minutes for a result. My test lit up brightly and boldly positive in less than 3 minutes. The next day, I visited a doctor's office for a PCR test to confirm. It confirmed. That meant cancelling my flight and isolating in the hotel for another 5 days. I probably could have gotten on the plane without telling anyone, but intentionally exposing 150 people like that seemed like the wrong choice. The CDC recommends 5 days of isolation. After that, if symptoms are mild, the CDC allows masked travel if necessary and recommends isolating as practical after that. You may think, "Awesome! Five bonus days in Honolulu!" Sounds great in theory, but, I was still not feeling well I couldn't leave the hotel room The beach and surf were tantalizingly close, but they just teased me from my city view room with a peek of the water. Housekeeping brought up a big table and put it in front of my door to signal that this was a quarantine room. They piled it high with towels, tooth brushes, and coffee packs so I would be all set to hunker down. I ordered all my food through Uber Eats. They would deliver to the front desk. The front desk would deliver to my blockading table. They would knock on the door and scurry away. I'd put on my mask, pop open the door and snatch my dinner. Then I'd go back to washing my underwear in the sink so I'd have clean clothes the next day. After 5 days, I was well enough to head back to Seattle. I'm still recovering. My voice is a little rough, as you may have heard in the opening and closing of this episode. I'm a little stuffed up. I still feel a little off, but for the most part I'm fine. I just need to get more sleep. My main concern at this point is not infecting Cathy so I'm masking up at home and sleeping on the couch. This could have been so much worse. And you know why this more of an inconvenience and not a full on health crisis? Because I got my damn vaccines! They may not have completely stopped the infection, but they gave my body the training and tools it needed to fight off this infection. I'm annoyed, but I'm not in a hospital on a ventilator. And I'm not knocked out. This is a big win during the pandemic. Hack of the Week Deb talked about 2 hacks this week. There is a lot of value in thinking about other people. I don't mean to compare ourselves to other people; that path leads to despair. Instead, think of how you can help other people, even if that's just a kind word. Brightening someone else's day can easily brighten yours as well. On the more concrete aspect of recovery, a towel can be a great tool to help with hamstring exercises. The hamstrings are the muscles on the back of your thighs. When they contract, they bend your knee and lift your heel towards your butt.  That bending is important for walking, stair climbing, balance, and more. Using a towel wrapped around your ankle can help you exercise your hamstrings to help them come back online consistently. Deb describes this in our conversation. I would add that this is a great process to discuss with your PT to make sure you know how to do this safely. The last thing you want is to fall and acquire another injury while rebuilding your life after stroke. Links Where do we go from here?

Bob Doyle is best known as a featured expert in the film and book The Secret. He now focuses his coaching and training on Neuroplasticity and your ability to rewire your brain so that you literally become the person who creates the results you want in life without having to adopt any unusual belief system.

“One day I was doing awake brain surgery on patients with tumors in eloquent parts of their brain and the next week I literally was working in a truck stop, bequeathed to my mother, heavily mortgaged in Wheeling, West Virginia in the dead of winter. I was filling up 18-wheelers, flipping hamburgers, and wondering, how in the world did this happen to me?”  -Dr. Joseph Maroon, Clinical Professor and Vice Chairman of the Department of Neurosurgery at the University of Pittsburgh   In this week's episode, Dr. Jen Barna speaks with Clinical Professor and Vice Chairman of the Department of Neurosurgery at the University of Pittsburgh, Dr. Joseph Maroon. Along with being the team neurosurgeon for the Pittsburgh Steelers, Dr. Joseph Maroon is also highly recognized as a co-developer of the ImPACT neurocognitive test, the only FDA approved test for concussion assessment and now the standard of care in most amateur and professional sports organizations.  During the podcast, Dr. Maroon shares his personal journey with stress burnout and clinical depression. He notes that his recovery was mainly dependent on natural physical activity that worked to re-stimulate the relationship between the body and the brain. As discussed in his book Square One- A Simple Guide to a Balanced Life, Dr. Maroon talks about how physicians can create a balanced life of work, family, spirituality, and physicality. Dr. Barna and Dr. Maroon also discuss the topic of physician vulnerability and how physicians may feel challenged to hide any signs of personal health struggles. This week's episode provides a meaningful conversation to confront this mindset.    Bio: Dr. Joseph Maroon is Clinical Professor and Vice Chairman of the Department of Neurosurgery and the Heindl Scholar in Neuroscience at the University of Pittsburgh Medical center, Pittsburgh, PA. Along with being the Senior Vice President of the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine, he has also published over 290 peer reviewed papers, 56 book chapters, and 6 books. In 1990, Dr. co-developed the ImPACT neurocognitive test which is the only FDA approved test for concussion assessment and is the standard of care in most amateur and professional sports organizations. He was the first neurosurgeon directly appointed to the NFL, serving as  the team neurosurgeon for the Pittsburgh Steelers for 35 years. In 2017, his book on overcoming adversity and “burnout”, Square One- A Simple Guide to a Balanced Life, was favorably reviewed by Dr. Sanjay Gupta and others. In his personal life, he has completed 8 ironman distance triathlons and in 2021 he placed first in his age group in the St. Petersburg Olympic distance triathlon. An inductee to the Lou Holtz Hall of Fame, he was selected as the 2019 “Man of the Year” by the Jerome Bettis Foundation and in 2020 was honored with the Physician of Courage Award by UPMC.    To learn more about Dr. Joseph Maroon, please visit his website at josephmaroon.com and follow him on social media.  Website:  https://josephmaroon.com Twitter:  @DrJosephMaroon Facebook: @drjosephmaroon Instagram: @josephcharlesmaroon7 LinkedIn: @joseph-maroon-md     Find full transcripts of DocWorking: The Whole Physician Podcast episodes on the DocWorking Blog  The past few weeks have been busy at DocWorking!

In this 3-part podcast series, I break down the ONLY 3 skills you need to lose this weight and empower your relationship with food. There's literally only 3 skills you need. I know that it can feel like losing ‘the last 10 pounds' is only for a select few. It's not. Your weight loss can be made simple just by learning a process and THESE 3 SKILLS for losing weight. These 3 skills make losing your weight and being DONE with the struggle more simple and approachable than ever. AND YES, it's true- There's TONS of approaches out there for losing weight. THIS ONE is the most effective AND empowering. In this episode: MENTAL FLEXIBILITY. Mental flexibility is defined as the ability to change your course in thinking. It's the process of uncovering the thoughts, beliefs, & perspectives that are keeping you stuck NOW and then also paired with the ability to be FLEXIBLE with approaching things a different way. When you've learned the skill of MENTAL FLEXIBILITY, you then have ability (the mental flexibility!) to decide HOW you want to think and WHAT You want to believe. And this matters because ALL of your decisions (behaviors, actions) are determined by your thinking (aka your brain). No matter what you've been thinking or believing up until now, Mental Flexibility is a skill that can be developed. I break down the two things that allow our HUMAN BRAIN to develop Mental Flexibility as a skill -- Neuroplasticity and Metacognition. HERE'S THE THING: When you feel like you've tried LITERALLY every single ‘diet' and you end up sabotaging in the same ways - or ‘nothing works' - that's because your decisions (which create your results) will ultimately, always be determined by your core beliefs (including your self concept) and your thinking. There's no getting around it. Regardless what food approach you want to use or implement (*I can tell you that your 'food approach' matters the LEAST) IF you want to change any habits of overeating, emotional eating, sabotaging, lack of commitment, or quitting on your goal - you've gotta change YOUR THINKING. Changing your beliefs and you thinking REQUIRE MENTAL FLEXIBILITY. When you learn and develop the skillset of MENTAL FLEXIBILITY: -You can literally follow ANY food plan you choose. -You can lose the amount of weight that YOU decide you want to lose. -You will feel unstoppable about your goal, EMPOWERED, and IN the drivers seat of THIS area of your life (*important note: It's also a skill you'll NEED in order to MAINTAIN those results once you've created them) THIS ONE SKILL SET ALONE will change the trajectory of your weight loss journey no matter how frustratingly stuck that you feel right now - or for how long - you've felt this stuck. If you learn (and master) THIS ONE SKILL it will be 100% WORTH IT. Mental Flexibility is a skill. And just like any other skill, it must be learned. (*that's the best news btw! because people aren't just 'born with it'. And this also means that if you don't have it YET, you can simply DEVELOP IT) There is literally NO WHERE ESLE. No other coach. No other program, that teaches this the way that I do. It worked for me, and it's worked for 100's of my clients. (you've heard them on the podcast!) You CAN do this. It CAN be simple. LISTEN NOW.

For Dr. Morrow, she is on a mission to make humanity stronger.  Eventually, Dr. Morrow opened a private practice in New York City and worked with many ADHD children.  Countless ADHD children also have congenital heart issues; therefore, they can't take stimulants.  So, Dr. Morrow started to create video games; in reality, they are neuro programs. She likes to bring the fun into healing.   [08:15] Understanding Dopamine 101: The Pathway To Pleasure  Dopamine is a style of neurons anatomy. A neuron is comprised of long sausage-like connection accents. A key and lock system enables the dopamine or any other neurotransmitter to flow from one end of the presynaptic to the postsynaptic gap. Dopamine is popular because it is responsible for our reward system.  Once your vagus nerve is stimulated correctly, you will have a flow of dopamine, which is crucial for your wellbeing.  [13:40] Brain Hacks: How To Improve Your Dopamine Levels  Turn off your phone for three minutes. Go barefoot on the grass. Take a look at the sunshine. Move your head to the left and the right in the sun.  Spending time in the sun will regulate your melatonin and regulate your inner lining of mitochondria.  [28:40] How Dr. Morrow Has Helped People Overcome Debilitating Issues Dr. Morrow's system has helped 82 traumatic brain injury clients. She will get rid of people's mental fog and anxiety and increase mobility.  Everyone can get themselves out of massive trauma.  It's so important to support each other.  Dr. Morrow has helped people get rid of their ADHD and ADD.  Plus, she helps people improve their focus.  [41:40] Find Out More About Dr. Morrow's Work With The Brain Email: DrMorrowTeam@thinkinterfaces.com Website: https://www.thinkinterfaces.com Find Dr. Morrow on Instagram: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drlanamorrow/. Overall, we all want to get to the next level.  Dr. Morrow says it's all about bringing your mind and your body into synchronicity.  [43:40] Your Thoughts Can Create New Brain Cells - Remember To Practice Gratitude With your thoughts, you can create new neurogenesis, which creates new brain cells.  If you have 60,000 thoughts per day, those are 60,000 opportunities to put your body in a healing state.

Gill discusses neuroplasticity. There's an invisible line that we all cross, which marks the transition from social drinking into problematic drinking. The time it takes for you to cross the line depends on your genetics, how vulnerable your brain is to alcohol-induced changes, your life circumstances, how young you begin drinking, and more. Alcohol damages and changes our brains when we drink heavily for extended periods of time. Pathways are carved into the brain as we train our brains to rely on alcohol to socialize, relax, feel happy, or deal with hard times. In this episode she explains how alcohol changes the brain, why these changes are permanent, and how this influences relapse.

Eventually, he began to visualize his grades.  Where you feed energy will expand.  [09:00] How Going Out In Nature and Enjoying The Sun Will Benefit Your Health  Our brain loves patterns.  If you're used to watching the news every night, the subconscious will incorporate it into your dreams.  Our body needs the earth. Dr. Porter recommends checking out Earthing: The Most Important Health Discovery Ever!: https://www.amazon.com/Earthing-Most-Important-Health-Discovery/dp/1591202833/benazadi-20. All of our cells get power from the sun. There are more mitochondria in your eyes than in other places in the body.  Your body will interact with the garden, trees, grass, and the Earth.  Nature will work in making your brain well, not the news.  [21:30] Cortisol and Adrenaline Hijack the Brain; Plus, Stress Shrinks The Brain  We're either in our thriving brain, or we're in our surviving brain. There is no middle ground.  If you have a hard time with PTSD, you will be in survival mode all the time.  Our brains don't know how to flip the switch. We need ways to recover; you can't just keep going and going.  One stressful year shrinks the brain three-quarters of an inch.  Our subconscious controls 95% of our biology.  [29:10] About BrainTap: The Mobile App and Wearable Headset Build Your Brain Fitness  15 day free trial with BrainTap: https://braintap.com/15-day-gift/#a_aid=2204BEAZ&a_bid=1e303721   With BrainTap, you start to turn on neurotransmitters' production, which happens in the gut.  During a BrainTap, you're bathing in this biological soup in the proper physiological state. Everything that happens to you happens through you.  Light brings energy to the brain.  Our ears take 25,000 pieces of information every second, and your eyes are actually 30% of your hearing.  The retinal flashing will keep your brain awake during BrainTap.  [35:35] To Build Neuroplasticity, You Need To Challenge The Brain  BrainTap will stress the brain, but it's fun stress.  When listening to one voice, you can still listen to your internal dialogue. The brain only processes first attention. If your first attention is on your internal dialogue, it doesn't matter what someone else says.  With BrainTap, there will be a voice in the right ear. Then, they do the same thing with the left ear. After three minutes, your brain will synchronize.  In order to build that neuroplasticity, you need to challenge the brain.  [41:30] How BrainTap Will Help You Overcome Psychological Fears   An allergy is a phobic response to the immune system. During fear, we are overproducing white marker cells. Psychological fear is creating physiological destruction to our bodies. Your psychology affects your immune system, and your biggest brain is in your gut.  BrainTap will get your gut, heart, and brain to communicate.  Overall, BrainTap will provide your mind and body with all the benefits of meditation without the disciplined effort. [47:35] Improving Your HRV and Getting Better Sleep With BrainTap  When you use BrainTap, you are going to see your HRV skyrocket.  If you're always in sympathetic drive, you will never have a good heart rate variability.  Getting good sleep is all about unwinding the sensory perception.  If you are struggling with sleep, getting more parasympathetic will be essential.  Two biohacks are free: sleeping and drinking good water.  AND MUCH MORE!   Resources from this episode:  Check out Dr. Patrick Porter's Website: https://drpatrickporter.com Follow Dr. Patrick Porter Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DrPatrickPorter/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/PatrickPorter Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drpatrickporter/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/drpatrickporter Awaken the Genius: Mind Technology for the 21st Century: https://www.amazon.com/Awaken-Genius-Mind-Technology-Century/dp/0963761188/benazadi-20 Earthing: The Most Important Health Discovery Ever!: https://www.amazon.com/Earthing-Most-Important-Health-Discovery/dp/1591202833/benazadi-20 15 day free trial with BrainTap: https://braintap.com/15-day-gift/#a_aid=2204BEAZ&a_bid=1e303721 Join the Keto Kamp Academy: https://ketokampacademy.com/7-day-trial-a Watch Keto Kamp on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUh_MOM621MvpW_HLtfkLyQ Free 7 Day Keto Challenge May 9th 2022.

Your BRAIN is the most powerful organ in your body.  Brain function is the most studied and, in some ways, least understood part about us.  It continues to AMAZE, MYSTIFY, CHALLENGE, and ASTONISH us every day.Knowing all this, it's surprising we don't spend a lot more time on our BRAIN HEALTH, taking every step we can to better understand how our brain works and how it impacts every part of our life.This week, I'm welcoming back a bonafide EXPERT on how our BRAINS FUNCTION for another engaging exchange.  DR. JOE DISPENZA has traveled to more than 33 countries to give lectures on discovering the full potential of the human brain and has three New York Times bestselling books to his name.He has devoted much of his life to studying neuroscience and neuroplasticity, quantitative electroencephalogram (QEEG) measurements, epigenetics, mind-body medicine, and brain/heart coherence.  Don't let those words intimidate you.  It all boils down to Dr. Dispenza digging into the INNER WORKINGS OF WHAT GOES ON INSIDE YOUR HEAD.Do you want to know how STRESS affects the relationship between your HEART AND BRAIN?Or why you cling on to the SUFFERING in your life instead of EXPLORING THE UNKNOWN?Are you curious how athletes gain a MENTAL EDGE to compete at the highest levels?What are the benefits to having all parts of your brain on the same “wavelengths” so that BRAIN COHERENCE works in your favor?Dr. Dispenza has powerful INSIGHTS to help you shed unwanted thoughts and mental roadblocks using proven science-based research.  You will discover how to replace what's holding you back with CLARITY, INTENTIONAL CONSCIOUSNESS, and POSITIVE EMOTIONS.This isn't an hour spent talking about theories.  It's an hour of DOWNLOADABLE AND TEACHABLE STRATEGIES that will fortify how you think so you can change your life for the better.Get ready because Dr. Joe is about to “DISPENZA” a lot of practical advice……and give your brain a lot of important things to think about.
