I realize that is what I am doing with my 89 year old Mom. I call her every day and we have an hour phone call. The first part of the phone call is reviewing our days and current thoughts. Then we study a paragraph on a book about critical thinking and thinking errors. We then study the Daily Stoic and discuss how it applies to our lives. We then end with about 10 minutes of pelvic / kegel exercises that I had taught her when I was with her in person. We have been doing this routine for about 3 years now. She keeps saying she loves it and it is what is keeping her going. I now realize that a major part of our routine is "Braining Building" and understand why it means so much to her.
That is beautiful♥️ I can feel the love you have for your mother by reading this.
What a gift you are to your mom.!!!!!
Timely video. God has led me to actually meditate on his word while reading. Taking my time and pounder what I’m reading every couple of lines. My Bible study is much longer but much more fruitful. You’re explanation brings in a whole new perspective!
Dr Leaf, thank you so much for this amazing information 😍 I have followed you for years & gained so much because of YOUR amazing EFFORT to share such phenomenal knowledge.
I use THE WORD of GOD to renew my mind, my intellect & self-worth. Your DESIRE to see people grow, to nurture themselves & become more than they EVER believed they could become, just RADIATES from you!!🤗 ... Thank you so much for the invitation to dine at 'your table' of knowledge & wisdom🙏. What a GREAT blessing you are 💕🙋🏼♀️
the greatest thing from you doctor i learnt years ago in the interview with the Copeland's, to train your mind by sowing seeds today that will fruitate into all the strength you will ever need tomorrow, knowing the power you have now, is the reaping of the crop from the seeds you sowed yesterday. Because if you don't sow seeds ( the word ) nothing will grow but weed's. For a blank mind is the devil's play ground. God bless you and keep you strong in the message you are teaching.
Thank u sooo much...ive no way to express my thankfulness...may god bless you! Your helping a lot
Loving your hair! I have been brain building without even realizing it. And you're right, I have been feeling more resilient as time has passed. I'm able to deal with things a little better than a couple months ago.
Hello how are you doing 😊😊😊☺️
I am reading your book "Switch on Your Brain" currently. Only through chapter 2 so far but I am learning a lot. I am hoping through your books and videos I can learn how to optimize my diverse interests. I work as a Licensed Professional Counselor, but I also have interests in martial arts, rapping, and I am becoming a brand new homesteader. It's sometimes hard to bridge these diverse interests in a healthy way.
Also thank you for your podcasts and books xx
I love your positive attitude towards mental health 🦋👌🙏
Thanks for this great information, Dr. Leaf! 💖
I've been learning so much about healthy living lately. There are so many aspects of health I hadn't been using. Things like taking in to account the circadian rhythm, the importance of getting quality sleep, how the microbiome affects sleep and how Vitamin B and Vitamin D affect the microbiome, and the importance of getting Vitamin D from sunlight.
Blessed to be acquainted.
Just as I am reading your workbook on "Think, Learn, Succeed", and this notification popped up in my phone. How timely 💕
Regards from Malaysia 💞
I am so excited to learn this new information. I can't wait to buy the book and get started. I'm excited
Beautiful video, thanks for sharing! Stay healthy and safe! 👍😊🍓
Excellent, informative podcast. Thank you.
I love this podcast
Thank you so much for imparting your knowledge soooo succinctly. It's wonderful to understand the science behind performing these tasks.
Much love to you
Really good discussion, loved the podcast. I would recommend your book to my clients.
Thank you so much, I have been writing a devotional on the book of Luke, I read, then comment on the scripture and write a prayer on the scripture, thanking God for the Scripture and its impact on my life.
@@VivienneJu woww great work. Kudos
Wow! I ordered several of your books. I’m so excited, my mind has already felt clearer and beginning to be renewed from life’s traumas. Amen. Blessings!
thank you! Amazing work.
que agradable es escucharla dra Leaf,espero la traduccion de sus ultimos libros ,en español.,tambien soy una apasionada de la mente,gracias por sus conocimientos.
Me da mucho gusto saber que personas de habla española, tenemos deseos de superarnos,
Adelante Angela!!! Dios te bendiga a ti, y a tu familia!!🌺🌹👍😎
Thanks for your wonderful advice and research.
Brain building is the best thing in the World , absolutely adore it , and this vedio is such a blessing ❤
Very interesting. Glad I found it. Does it have to be a paper book or can digital books work for the reading portion? Would they be as effective?
Question...is listening to I an audible book the same brain building exercise as reading the written word?
Not in the least the same.
Thank you
Thank uu
I have the book and subscription to newsletter but I was wondering if I could get the free workbook?
Love 💗 your hair :)
God bless you
Hi dr Leaf!
I have your book on audible amd have listened but I still don’t know where to start it all seems so overwhelming
Where should I start
If I can’t do it all where is the best place to start ?
I thought I signed up in May but didn’t get the work book?
I also just had another thought .. Would brain building work from listening to lectures (instead of reading) & adding the steps...? Or even thought provoking or new learning material videos?
Talk about losing weight and food addiction
I write policy and think deeply for about 7 hours a day. I don’t see that it keeps me mentally healthy, at all.
How do you build your brain? Are there exercises? Guidance?
How are you doing 😊😊😊
I haven't had a nights sleep in 30 years my mind is a mess where do I start
Oh yes 👍
I'm wondering if target pistol shooting counts it is extreme focus and when successful it activates reward centers. ?
You are so Special. God less you very much!
But we all know the brain controls the mind. So brain control beats mind control.
Español, pless español
I know what the missing key is, it’s JESUS
I need info to help my son. Going through divorce. PLEASE !!!! DO NOT USE SCIENCE DETAIL. His mental state is a mess. His heart is broken. He can not function. He is unable to make decisions. What is brain building /nerocycling in practical everyday situastion. I am desperate. If i want to buy a car, i realy do not want to know how it was engineered to perfection. I want to drive it. PLEASE I AM DESPERATE.
P S your mind is like a child, you teach a child but you never let a child lead, they don't have the wisdom to do so. Wisdom only comes in battles won.
