Yes, sometimes I wonder who switched my brain off. It turns out, it was me. My Church hosted Dr. Caroline Leaf, South African brain psychologist, for a 3 -day seminar weekend. It was so worth it, despite the fact that I had to get up at 8am on a Saturday morning. Dr. Leaf spoke with such enthusiasm and she and her husband were a great team. I learned a lot. Here are some of the main points:
- We aren't a victim of our biology; it's possible to renew our minds.
- Science is catching up with scripture
- We are wired for love, fear is a learned action
- We are designed for deep, intellectual thinking and to constantly learn
- 75-98% of mental and physical illness comes from our thought-life
- We were not designed to be in default mode but to be exceptional
One of the scriptures Dr Leaf chose to emphasize what she had been talking about came from Psalm 139:14: I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made
I enjoyed her talks so much I bought her book.
And I got it signed.
I'm ready to switch on my brain again:)
