Brainy Tip: We control what we allow to influence the way we live our lives.

Since psychosocial factors modulate the course of certain diseases—such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and asthma—this means the things going on in the environment get into the mind, changing the brain and having an impact on the body. Understanding how God designed neuroplasticity to work for and against us will help us move forward and succeed in life by controlling what we allow into our minds, thereby controlling what we allow to influence the way we live our lives.
