S3 E9: The Neuroscience of Your Behavior - a podcast by Andrea Catherine, Yoga Health Coach

Dr. Scott Blossom reminds us of why brain health is important. He challenges us to ask a question of our heart every morning, “What is it that I want? What is going to serve me and connect me with my hearts desire?”

Join me in a conversation with Dr. Blossom and learn how  knowing our hearts desire leads us to change, redesigning our thinking and compassion. Attention: this conversation may challenge your perspective of self and motivate you to pay attention to your language judgments and paths for cultivating a more inclusive society.

 

 

• Why a head and neck massage in the morning can change your mood

• How to use redesigning thinking as a way to change behavior

• How self-care and self-love broaden compassion
