The Secret to Triple Your Brain Power... in Just One Day ???

Hello there! Welcome back for this second edition of "Love is a Location" -

I hope you are having a great week so far!

Today, I want to share some powerful information with you that has the potential to change your life, in as little as 24 hours. And no, it's not clickbait... it's science.

As the world and the workplace seem to get faster and faster every day, with tech advancements and massive developments in AI, we see more and more people looking for ways to be

1. more productive - getting more things done
2. more efficient - getting more things done, in less time
3. more effective - getting more things done, in less time, and in such a unique way that your individual impact is both undeniable and profitable*

*mastering these 3 points means your role is less likely to be replaced by AI and/or rendered obsolete due to massive global shifts in the marketplace... it's clear why these factors are currently top of mind for everyone right now!!

Social media is often flooded with experts telling us how to maximize growth metrics, boost productivity, and stand out from the crowd... and while these are all great things to be looking at when building your business or career, the vast majority of advice out there is still limited in its ability to actually change your life long-term... because most of those tips are focused on your ability to think your way through a situation and take decisive, strategic action in the short-term.

Once again, there's nothing wrong with strategic action, analytical thinking, planning and other linear ways to manage day-to-day life - but those things are just one part of the equation.

By focusing solely on external performance metrics, and by placing a constant demand on your mind for measurable growth, you are actually only using 1/3 of your brain power - and by "your brain" I mean the one we all learn about in school.

But what if you could tap into exponential potential? ??

Instead of putting more and more pressure on your miraculous gray matter to produce results and come up with solutions to daily problems - what if you could become a "triple threat" and live a more balanced, powerful, sustainable life, one that is naturally more productive, efficient and effective, with less strain and stress required?

Amazingly, nature has already given us all that we need to do just that - by learning to recognize and respect what we have at our disposal and start leveraging our inherent design, as human beings, to not only master the business world but also make our own lives more meaningful and rewarding each day.

So, here's the big secret: every human, including you, actually has MORE than one brain!! ??

The one we learn about in school - that "gray matter" I mentioned - is the one we all know about, of course.

But did you know that scientists actually consider the human heart and the human gut (digestive organs) to be a second and third brain??

The brain sitting just behind our eyeballs is not operating in isolation each day, and it's not all by itself when it comes to decision-making, problem-solving and creative thinking... it is part of an intricate system within the human body that ALSO draws on the "thinking power" - quite literally the unique "nervous system" -that comes from the gut and the heart.*

*if you have never heard of this before, here are two articles with a more in-depth look at the science behind this incredible reality:

https://research.jefferson.edu/2022-magazine/the-hearts-little-brain.html

This key component to who we are as humans - mind, body and heart - is something I am really passionate about so I will be sharing a lot more in the coming weeks about the many ways we can be more empowered, less stressed and more effective at work (and everywhere else)... all because we have three brains, instead of just one.

And - just when you thought it couldn't get any better - it can! ??

Not only do we have three command centers helping to run things smoothly every day - but also, there is ONE thing, ONE element that is common to all of them, ONE master key that unlocks the connection between mind, heart and body.

But I'm not going to tell you about that today... you'll have to stay tuned for next week! ????

For now, I want to leave you with some food for thought, which will help you to start making the little shifts that add up to big transformation and start seeing results in as little as 24 hours... so take some time with these questions, grab your journal and jot down your thoughts:

1. What if you could live each day fully tapped into the power of all three brains, instead of just relying on one? What would change?
2. How would your daily life look different if you decided to take your heart and your body just as seriously as your mind?
3. What is one small thing you can do - starting now and for the next 24 hours - to be kinder to your mind (intellect & imagination), your heart (emotions & intuition) and your body (instinct & energy conversion)?

It can be as simple as one less coffee, or a little more water... maybe thinking twice before criticizing yourself, exposing yourself to less online negativity, and choosing to be a little more compassionate to the person you see in the mirror...

It might feel like baby-steps but I guarantee it will make a difference!

So give it a try, and let me know how it goes.

Thanks so much for being here, and I'll see you soon for the next installment -

until then, let love lead the way!
