“Martha, Martha,” he replied, “you are fretting and fussing about so many things. Only one thing matters. Mary has chosen the best part, and it’s not going to be taken away from her.”—Luke 10:41–42
Brainy Tip: “Hurry sickness” can create chaos in the brain.
In the busyness of life and the flurry of everyday activity, we expose ourselves to the possibility of developing a chaotic mindset with the net result of neurochemical and electromagnetic chaos in the brain. This feels like endless loops and spirals of thinking that can easily get out of control.
When we activate the DMN, however, it is almost like a Sabbath in the brain, which is a cessation from the conscious flurry of work and a withdrawal into the depths of our magnificent minds. It is like a mental rebooting process to reconnect with who we are and with our Messiah, enabling us to bring perspective to the issues of life. It stimulates, rather than halts, our productivity.
