Season 5 Day 5: Lessons from Jacob

Title: Season 5 Day 5 – Lessons from Jacob Summary: Welcome to Season 5 of the Rewire Your Brain Podcast. I'm your host, Liz Bagwell. This episode is titled: Lessons from Jacob. I share with you a bit about the neuroscience of neuroplasticity, how God gave us way more power over our thoughts than we could ever imagine and the super easy prompts that help us focus in on Jesus and the positive things He is doing in our lives. Each prompt draws you closer to Jesus and helps you to see Him and all the miracles He has placed throughout your day more clearly. Today I share some personal stories about how I am helping myself and my family reframe our thoughts in the everyday as well as a meditation with Jesus that I believe the Lord wanted me to share with many of you ahead of the holidays. 🎙 What You'll Hear How staying consistent is essential for rewiring your brain: "neurons that fire together wire together." The inverse truth: more negative thoughts = more negative thoughts and stronger negative neural pathways, and why that's good news—because God created you with the ability to quickly add more positive thoughts in your brain that will completely change your life. Lessons about who God is in Jacob's story and how it relates to our own life.
