The Neuroencoding Institute’s Post

The next time you say, "I am so forgetful" reword that to "I can't remember right this minute, and that's because my brain is functioning properly." As you can imagine, you will create countless memories throughout your life, many of which you will eventually forget. And if you were to remember every excruciating detail of your existence—such as that embarrassing moment in elementary school—it would not be great for your mental well-being. A new theory highlighted in Nature Reviews Neuroscience postulates that the brain learns to forget less relevant memories because it allows people to interact more flexibly with the environment, make better decisions, and improve well-being. Rather than the previously prevailing assumption that memory loss occurs over time as a dysfunction of the brain, this theory views forgetting as a functional feature. In my offering BREAKTHROUGH, you'll be able to learn how the brain works and why, adopt new brain hacks for overcoming self-doubt and anxiety, and create a personal action plan to finally accomplishing what you are after, whether that's launching a new podcast, getting in better shape, or attracting the love of your life. That's the thing about the brain. It doesn't matter what you are trying to achieve, it is how you do it, and more importantly how you think about it.

Does your experience match reality? 🤔 Are you really experiencing reality in its stark , objective truth ? Reality what we all experience with our senses , and we makes sense of with th signals in our 🧠. ∆ How our brain exactly works 🫠 Our brain is trapped in skull , which is a silent 😶 empty 🫗 box . And brain has no experiences , knowledge, no awareness of happenings. Right? But , it is till , our brain don't recieves sensory signals . These signals are outcomes of changes or movement in the world 🌎. But the brain 🧠 doesn't know what the changes are , it's recieving the outcomes.And that is what philosophers call "REVERSE INFERENCE PROBLEM". Ex- If you hear a loud 🔊 bang, it could be anything which makes loud sound. So , how brain knows what causes are for the sound. And it has to guess, and the guess is important, right? Because you would differentiate the sounds and acknowledge the exact one ......This is by our Past Experiences. In Psychology, a gp of instances which are similar is called a category. In essence, what your brain is doing, When it's making the predictions, it's making a category of instances from the past. And you would use concept, "What features of similarity is it using to finalize the sound?" Our 🧠 are structured to construct categories on the basis of functions of things rather than its senses , shape . Humans can like this create something called 'Social Reality '. And definitely, Your brain has thie wonderful capacity to take pieces of past experiences and creates a new , inexperienced thing . #braincreatesreality #psychology #neuropsychology.

"Discpline" + Affective Prediction Do you struggle w/ "discipline?" Do you feel guilty that your "self-control" is ineffective? Instead of trying to force yourself to do the "right" thing, weigh one desire against the other. Think about which one you want the most (which is usually the longer-term one). For example, think about watching a TV show. It's midnight and you have to be up super early for an important work day tomorrow. You could watch one more episode (or binge the rest of the season LOL), which might feel fantastic and gratifying in the moment. But how will your future self feel tomorrow morning when you can barely stay awake during that important meeting? Will you feel embarrassed? What about that promotion you really want? Discipline is the act of choosing the future feeling over the current desire. It looks like cognition mastering emotion, but it is not! It's changing the timeline of the affective prediction from immediate to future. #decisionmaking #emotionalintelligence #performancecoaching #psychology #tradingpsychology #coaching #consulting #neuroscience #mindset #selfawareness #selfimprovement #riskmanagement #riskassessment

How might we think differently about losing, failure and mistakes? How could we see them differently? How could we work with and through them? Observations and learnings from working with Olympians, Neuroscience and the paradox of coping strategies. Link as always in the comments. 😀 #strategy #psychology #growth

💡🧠 Our minds are amazing puzzle boxes, constantly tinkering and fitting together information to form thoughts, ideas and memories. These "cognitive processes" are incredible, but sometimes, even the sharpest minds can get a piece stuck. 🤔 * Confirmation bias: We favor information that confirms what we already believe, potentially overlooking other possibilities. * Anchoring bias: We rely too heavily on the first piece of information we receive, making it harder to adjust our thinking later. * Inattentional blindness: We miss obvious things when our focus is elsewhere, leading to errors or misunderstandings. By understanding these common cognitive biases, we can be more mindful of our thinking and make better decisions. What are some other cognitive "errors" can you think of? 🤔 #cognitiveprocesses #psychology #neuroscience #learning #criticalthinking #growthmindset Remember: Even the smartest minds make mistakes. The key is to be aware of our biases and to always be learning and growing. 😊 I hope this helps!

Do you "overthink?" Who doesn't from time to time . . . right? The shift from overthinking or self-sabotage to self-love and internal acceptance always begins with self-awareness. We need to "think about what we are thinking about" Once we learn to pay attention to what's going on in our mind, we can begin to analyze and retrain our brain for change. A powerful exercise to consider: Conduct a thought assessment for 2-3 days, writing down the dominant thought patterns that come up again and again in your mind. Then honestly assess whether they are true or false, imagined or real, hurtful or helpful, crippling or empowering, etc. Once you have a good list of those dominant thoughts, write down what you will say to yourself each time these thoughts arise. The more you practice positive reframing, the better you will get at it and the more aware you will become when they try to take you down that "rabbit hole." If you'd like a worksheet and a practice log to help you with this exercise, feel free to DM me and I will send you one! :) We are all in this ship called "life" together, let's help each other and ourselves to WIN! #reframeandrewire #cognitiverestructuring #retrainyourbrain #neuropsychology #selfsabotage #personalgrowth

Jealousy often has to do with feeling unworthy; when you support someone else, you feel useful, and maybe even responsible for contributing to their success. In a way, you share their success. Instead of ruminating over your co-worker’s promotion, for example, you could support her by congratulating her and offering your help if she needs it in her new position. Plus, success is rarely a one-person show. Quite often it’s a group effort, achieved through a network of support systems. By cultivating that, you’re also building a platform for your own success. It may also help to change the way you think of success. Instead of looking at it from a mindset of scarcity, try approaching it with one of abundance. There are plenty of ways to be successful. Remind yourself that there is more than enough to go around, that someone else can have something you want and it’s possible for you to have it, too.

"Why does it have to be so hard?" A client recently asked me this question coming into a coaching session. The truth is—it doesn’t have to be. The mind has a way of creating stories that often hold us back, making situations and challenges appear more difficult than they really are. These stories only serve to drive stress and anxiety sending both mind and body into a state of fight or flight.. And of course in this state, the ability to focus, concentrate and problem solve is greatly reduced. But here’s the good news: when we take the time to interrogate and really dig into these stories and unhelpful beliefs, what we find is that they are just that -stories and unhelpful beliefs which can be rewritten. Neuroscience shows us why we think the way we do and why we frequently get stuck in these unhelpful patterns. But it also reveals that with consistent effort, the brain can be rewired to rewrite these stories, creating ones that support rather than sabotage our success. Understanding these fundamentals is key to moving forwards. #personalcoaching #mentalhealth #neuroscience I'm Catriona and I help ambitious individuals to step into their power and change their narrative so that they can rise and thrive both personally and professionally.

New cert! It's been a while. Though it is always nice when completion of a certification like this one feels like the beginning rather than the end. I am fascinated by the brain's ability to heal and rewire itself, speaking as a previous survivor of psychosis. I'll soon be working on creating my own material with 10% of all profits going to YoungMinds.
