Doing the right thing is the ultimate act of love for yourself and for other people.
Why do we often want to do the very things we're told we 'shouldn't'? In this episode of The Brain Warrior's Way Podcast, Dr. Daniel Amen and Tana Amen tackle this curious phenomenon and reveal how shifting our perspective can boost our motivation. They argue that the word 'should' can be more of a hindrance than a help. Instead of feeling obligated, they suggest that love is a far more powerful motivator for making healthy choices.
Love, with its warm and flexible nature, can drive us to care for ourselves and others more effectively than a sense of duty ever could. The Amens also delve into the importance of being honest with yourself about the consequences of your actions. Using a biblical example, they illustrate how thinking about these consequences can guide better decision-making. They emphasize the need to avoid harmful behaviors and adopt beneficial ones to maintain a healthy brain.
This episode goes beyond just brain health; it touches on how a good brain can improve relationships, careers, and overall life satisfaction. Dr. Amen and Tana also introduce their Brain Thrive By 25 course, aimed at helping young people make smart choices early on. They stress the importance of speaking in terms that resonate with younger audiences to help them understand the value of brain health.
Ultimately, this episode is a call to replace 'should' with love in our decision-making processes. If you're looking to make lasting changes for your brain and body, this episode offers a refreshing perspective on motivation.
