Here is an incredible close up picture of a living human brain.
Did you know a piece of brain tissue the size of a grain of sand contains approximately 100,000 neurons and one billion synapses? Every single thought that is crossing your mind right now has a physical pathway in your brain. The more you have a certain thought, the more you groove and strengthen the connections of that particular pathway. Indeed, what you think, you will literally become! The notion that we can retrain our mind to think healthier and happier thoughts has been shown to improve physical health and well being via this process. Practicing trying to choose your thoughts more wisely each second can play a major role in creating changes that will give renewed vitality to your mind, body, and spirit.
