How Activating My Three Brains Has Been Accelerating My Business Success

I know this week’s article might feel a bit out there, but just hear me out… To be honest, all the articles I share are strategies and practices that I personally implement in my own life and business. Through this newsletter, I’m opening up to share what’s worked for me because I truly believe that sharing is caring—and success is something that belongs to all of us.

Just to give you some context on how the concept of activating three brains came about, I’ll start with my short story about how I ended up activating all three of my brains and how, once I did, my business began to grow in ways I never imagined, at an accelerated pace. And I’ll share the exact activation techniques I use.

My Journey to Activating Three Brains

Here’s the situation I was in: My business had become BORING ??. It wasn’t exciting anymore. It wasn’t growing. I felt stuck, desperate for something new—a disruptive idea. Something innovative. I needed to think outside the box to take my business to the next level.

So, I did what many of us do, Googling ideas, going on nature walks, and meditating. But nothing concrete surfaced for a long time. This lasted all of 2023 and into the early part of 2024.

I’d have random bursts of inspiration that quickly fizzled out. Nothing stuck. Doubt started creeping in. I was starting to feel like my brain alone wasn’t enough...

That’s when something happened. Earlier this year, I accidentally came across something. Okay, it wasn’t a groundbreaking idea, but it became a doorway to all the answers I had been seeking.

It was about using myself differently. That’s when I discovered the concept of the three brains. No, not three different people’s brains—my own three brains: the head, the heart, and the gut.

When I began tapping into all three, everything shifted.

The head brain is great for clarity and strategy—it’s where the planning and problem-solving happen. But relying only on the head can lead to overthinking and analysis paralysis (trust me, I’ve been there).

The heart brain connects us to passion and purpose. It’s about what truly matters to you.

And then there’s the gut brain—the source of courage and instinct. It’s where you get those “gut feelings” that guide you when logic isn’t enough. This is where bold decisions are made, the ones that can take your business from stuck to thriving.

By activating all three, I stopped overthinking. I stopped looking for answers solely outside of myself. I trusted my instincts, leaned into what truly mattered, and started moving differently.

And guess what? My business began to grow in ways I never imagined. Revenue increased. Opportunities poured in. And most importantly, the excitement was coming back.

How to Activate Your Three Brains

Now you might be wondering how I activated them. Here is the very simple technique I use to activate my three brains daily. I spend 20 minutes a day on this practice—it’s a small investment of time that gives huge returns!

I start the day with placing my hands on my lap, closing my eyes and taking some deep breathes, whilst focusing on sensations in the body, drawing attention to the stomach region, this particular area helps you connect with your instincts. Thereafter i place the right hand on my chest and focus on my heartbeat, simultaneously taking deep breaths and visualise energy radiating from the heart, filling the body up with warmth and passion.

Bonus TIP: Listen to some grounding music whilst performing the exercise (I'll probably share a separate article altogether on my music playlist with the different frequencies i use at some point in the future).

In Conclusion.

Trust me when i say this, magic happens when you integrate all three brains. Since discovering this, I’ve been building something exciting for 2025. It’s still too soon to share what I’ll be launching, but trust me—it’s going to be worth the wait. Watch this space!

In the meantime, i encourage you to ask yourself:

• Are you only using your head to run your business?
• Are you listening to your heart and gut as well?

The answers you’re seeking might already be within you—all three of you. Success isn’t just about what you know. It’s about how you think, feel, and trust yourself to take risks that align with your values.
