As a person with brain damage from a car wreck, her mental strategies have really helped me a lot. I'm still working on it, but so far it's been really nice to finally have hope.

“when you direct your attention, change happens and you’re not a victim of your biology.” - Dr. Caroline Leaf YES!! thank you, Dr. Leaf.

I feel profoundly proud to translate her books into Arabic.She is really great and direct.

[@ashrafouad]

Laila elbadry what is the name of the book in Arabic and where can we buy it online?

[@waleedalgharabally9385]

Dear ashraf If u can ask the lady about books in Arabic , mean while ur question is in clear English , why do u want Arabic version??

[@alialharthi7042]

i want a copy of the book

That’s awesome

[@indigodsm8429]

I was dropped from a bicycle in motion , on my head, as 3 year old, without helmet or child seat. First there was an enourmes pain, yet after that I felt like there was trouble with my eyesight. I was a believer, and stil are, in the holy ghost, and prayed to the God of Love to heal me, and felt a proximety from a spirit, whom I felt look like Sigourney Weaver and called herself holy ghost worker. The eye problem went away, & now a days I get a IQ score of 142, in an test of 100 being normal. I'm not sure if it was the blow to the head, that smacked me sharp, but I do believe in God is Love, and miracles are verry possible

Thank you so much Dr. Caroline. This is exactly the message I need in this stage of my life. I heard about you and your book "Who switched off my brain" from my pastor today and decided to check you on youtube and this video popped up. After listening to this, I am heading straight to read the book. You are such a great speaker with so much inspiration. Thank you for the light you bring to the world.

Where attention goes, neuro-firing flows and neuro-connection grows.

[@sirvapalot]

Chris the brain 🧠 is an amazing organ

[@giriprasath9859]

Its all about the Neuron connection , if you think a new imaginary thought two new neurons will connect a pathway , if you think the same thought over and over and over energy passes through those neuron connection and the neuron connections become thicker , that is called your belief system , thicker neurons releases higher frequency and thats where the law of attraction kicks in ✌🏻

Bible verse;"be renewed in the spirit of the mind".Works for me, transforming.

[@davidanthony6408]

I've made most of my changes between ages 42 to 52, just by being more mindful. I believe the real factor that we interpret as change is our understanding. When we take time to expand our understanding, we are actually taking time to make use of the knowledge we already possess. Basically exploring our past realizations, and by appreciate concepts from new perspectives or aspects, these ideas evolve and change, and therefore our newfound appreciation about what is and what is not, the significance and scope of the impact these ideas have on our reality, this then appreciates our existing assets (knowledge), and therefore we as a person are appreciated (increased value), we experience this change by how we feel about life and ourselves.

11:35 the minute you direct your mind, the minute you discipline and work daily on learning, which is a process, you'll change your brain! 19:13 you cannot control the events and the circumstances of your life but you can control your reactions.

[@arjunmrao4039]

Beautiful Video.. She spoke well, with intent content conviction knowledge.. She was inspiring motivating.... She can fuel change in us with her words.. Imagine if we are lucky to hear her words, how lucky are her kids to have HER as their MOTHER!....

[@RichardKoenigsberg]

The mind controls the brain. This is very important to know. The brain is the DEPENDENT rather than independent variable. I had always turned away from the study of the brain...because I assumed you couldn't influence the brain directly. When you connect with a person, you are not speaking to their "brain," you are speaking to their mind. My psychoanalyst was also a prominent brain researcher, but he never once mentioned my brain. It was talk, talk, talk, talk. This is what effected the change. What he said to me and how I received his ideas. But apparently there must have been changes going on inside my brain at the same time. A NEW AREA TO EXPLORE.

Amazing. The power of thoughts on our actions isn’t so clear scientifically from what I’ve found, but I do believe our thoughts can change our behavior and results consequently.

[@shirugaks7464]

I can't watch enough of this lady.

[@robertwatson3962]

Wow, what I do everyday. Thought are pictures, pictures and more pictures. good news you can change pictures in you mind, not your brain. But now we leave normal reality behind and see the big picture; that you are a spiritual being in the moment of now, having a human experience in present time. To further that understanding we are having two events happening to us simultaneously, the spiritual event and the physical event. Thank you and enjoy this thought!

[@aliasifchowdhury3419]

through ten years of my life my perspective and my thinking expanded because of practising (at that time unknowingly) the same continuous process she is talking about..at the end of 2018 my mind took a quantum leap as everything i learned before started to interconnect...since realizing curiosity was what got me to that point i then began consciously practising what i was doing unconsciously for at least a decade....i only saw this video 18 April 2019 so i did not know anyone else was practising the same process but hearing this after already experiencing it beforehand by fate i can confirm it works...in one word curiosity works where everything fails..maybe not the way you expect beforehand but it works because answers never go in vain

This is a great message but other things can also be done to improve neurogenesis and neuro plasticity. There are things that can be done to put the body into a more optimal biochemical state to improve outcomes. Ketogenic diet, intermittent fasting, supplements like high DHA fish oil and Lions Mane, cardio exercise, optimize sleep, detoxing heavy metals like mercury and other chemicals. Contrast hydrotherapy, sauna. Those are a few things to research. Dave Asprey (Bulletproof radio) teaches much on how to optimize health and brain function.
