MODERATION: non toxic can be toxic

Comment and Review to be entered into our Giveaway!

Benefits (What are the facts?)

• It’s a battlefield of the mind first.

Neuro Pathways

• Changing neural pathways, also known as neuroplasticity, is the brain's ability to reorganize itself by forming new neural connections throughout life, primarily in response to new experiences and learning, allowing for adaptation and skill development; essentially, the more you practice something, the stronger the associated neural pathways become, while unused pathways weaken and can eventually fade away.

• Key facts about changing neural pathways:

• Neuroplasticity is a lifelong process: The brain can change and adapt at any age, although the rate of change may slow down with age.

• Use it or lose it: Frequently used neural pathways become stronger, while those not used regularly weaken and can eventually be pruned away by the brain.

• Learning new skills stimulates new pathways: Activities like learning a new language, playing a musical instrument, or exercising can create new neural connections.

• Practice is key: To significantly change neural pathways, consistent and deliberate practice is required.

Moderation is 80/20 - 80/20 rule

• Diet vs. Lifestyle

Discernment

Self discipline: Practicing self-discipline helps you find inner peace, strength, resilience, and can even help heal mental health issues.

“Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Let your moderation be evident to all. The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4:4-7
