Every one has a story to tell ~ and so here is mine. This page holds a collection of videos that 'tell my story' and along the way also unearth all of the secrets to having a successful life ~ happy, confident, fulfilling and significant. I will share with you everything I have learned along the way and everything I am still learning. My passion is ch∆nge (∆ = the medical symbol for change) and I want to show you how to have the tools for change right in your pocket. These videos are also posted on my Take Charge Face Book page and you can follow these as video Tweets on Twitter @MilesNitz. Join me on a journey to living the optimal life. Would love to have you along for the ride!
It wasn’t until after I actually got out of my grad program that I tripped across the word ‘neuroplasticity’ and now I use the word every single day. I was reading a Reader’s Digest article in the April 2002 issue, the year I finished grad school. Talk about serendipity. This article led me directly to a huge paradigm shift. Again, shift happens!
There are an estimated 100 billion neurons in the human brain. Each neuron is connected to adjacent neurons via hundreds of thousands of synapses ~ 500 trillion synapses is the estimated capacity of the human brain. These synapses are the tiny, micro-biological switch that makes everything happen in the brain. Elegantly simple ~ supremely difficult to learn to control. But once we do, it is a game-changer ~ THE game-changer. And I don’t know about you, but I certainly want to ‘level-up’ in the game of LIFE!
∆IYP17 ~ NB∆7 ~ Attention Trumps Logic
Even though I made the logical decision last night to workout this morning, my limbic system gets out of the gate first and has no problem winning this duel at 6am. Why? Because logic really doesn’t carry as much weight in the brain as we think it does. The commodity that rules in the brain is not logic, but rather attention and repetition. Of course logic is important, but attention and repetition trump logic every time. This strategy is designed to make sure we live to see another day.
