On Sunday morning, I found myself relaxing with coffee and watching Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor on Oprah’s Super Soul Sunday and learning that a peanut has been controlling my whole life! Dr. Jill tells us that the group of cells that control our emotions are about the size of a peanut. “Think of them as a bunch of little children. Some you want to play with and some you don’t.” AND…the bigger “AH-HA” moment for me…did you know you have the power to turn off your thoughts? Well, you do. I have found part of the interview on YouTube. The “Ah-Ha” comes at around the 5:40 mark in the video. So, I’ve beel living the lesson and actively practicing controlling what I think about for just a few days now and I am happy to report that IT TOTALLY WORKS!
So Stop. Watch. Learn. And say hello to your Peanut.
