@drleewarren: Society wants you to believe you’re a slave to your own brain activity. That everything about you is just neurons firing, and you’re along for the ride. Here’s the problem: if you believe that, it starts to become true for you. The moment you decide your brain is in charge instead of your mind, you stop trying to change anything. You just try to manage it. And when life actually ruptures—real stress, real loss, real crisis—you’re in trouble, because you never learned that you had the standing to change any of it. That’s when people reach for numbing instead of operating. A drink. A distraction. Anything to avoid doing the work. And numbing never leads to getting better. It just delays the appointment. You have to take command of your life. That’s self-brain surgery. If you don’t operate your life, your life is going to operate you.
