Through training your mind to pay more attention to nourishing thoughts and beliefs than 'junk' ones, you can start rewiring your brain. You can strengthen the neural networks of any positive trait you want to cultivate – such as more confidence or courage – while weakening the neural networks of self-doubt and fear.

Once we no longer feel the need to fight our negative beliefs or our past, we have more energy to put towards creating the outcome that we do want to see. We shift from survival and fear to growth and thriving.

There are two important reasons for you to make feeling good a priority. First, when you feel good, your brain releases neurochemicals that boost all of your body’s systems. Second, when you feel good, you are much more likely to behave in a way that benefits your body because you respect it.
