Cast your burden on the LORD, and he will sustain you; he will never permit the righteous to be moved.—Psalm 55:22
Brainy Tip: When you choose to operate in love, you increase your sustainability and resilience during tough situations.
Think of your mind as the movement of information as energy through your nervous system. Each thought has quantum energy, and electrochemical and electromagnetic signals that flow largely below your level of awareness. Just thinking about a loved one, for example, can cause positive structural changes in the caudate nucleus of the brain, which is closely linked to feelings of reward and happiness. Likewise, healthy electromagnetic signals and quantum fields fire up in response to a good attitude, giving you strength to face the day.
The converse also applies. Stress, which can be good for you, can become incredibly toxic, depending on your perception of a situation. The other day, a friend was telling me how just driving past her previous workplace brought back a significant physical heart pain, which she used to experience daily in the toxic work environment. Her symptoms had disappeared once she resigned. The treatment in this case wasn’t medication or surgery, it was the self-care decision to get another job! She chose to love her health over her toxic, stressful job.
We need sustainability to cope with life, and the good news is that you come with a built-in sustainability system that is activated when you renew your mind and act in love!
