The only part of your brain that you have voluntary control over is the activity of your prefrontal cortex, your thoughts. Your thoughts influence both your behaviors and your emotions, and it is important to understand this in order to make any changes. If that sounds really simple to you, that is because it is. The key to making some pretty significant changes in our lives is to adjust the way we think. We tend to think that our lives, our problems and issues, are extremely complicated and overcoming them requires a complicated solution. Making changes can be simple, it just isn’t easy.
