you know diet and exercise can improve and extend your life but what about your mental fitness did you know your brain, just like your body can be trained for better strength and stamina and the more flexible and resilient your brain, the better you work, play and feel how can you train your brain? NeurOptimal? Neurofeedback "if I didn't have NeurOptimal? in my life"… if I didn't have NeurOptimal? in my life I would be less engaged I would be very unfocused I wouldn't have a Ph.D if I didn't have NeurOptimal? in my life I would be much slower to complete things I wouldn't be as clever, I wouldn't be as funny I would be less clear if I didn't have NeurOptimal? in my life I would be… [sigh] probably quite bored I would be much more cautious about doing a lot of the things that I do I probably would be struggling At worst case I'd be exactly like I was which was emotional, irritated, overreacting to things I would be much less grounded I think I would be more stressed out I would still be consuming massive quantities of diet coke I probably wouldn't be in a relationship I would be having not nearly as good a time I would be much less patient, tolerant, humorous... flexible, resilient... not as good a mother or a doctor I know I need a NeurOptimal? session when... when people start picking on me and I start taking it personally and I'm not able to be objective, I get all kinds of defensive when I'm having catastrophic thoughts once again when I'm getting a bit frustrated with things when I'm stressed out when I'm stressed I'm having difficulty sleeping at night when I start snapping at people when my husband tells me I do I know that I need a NeurOptimal? session when I start to lose my words when I'm feeling more wound up when I get irritated waiting in line when the writing I'm doing gets a little hard when I find myself getting in my own way I prefer to use NeurOptimal? because... I prefer to use NeurOptimal? over any other neurofeedback system, and I've tried them all... because it is easier to work with, there are fewer side-effects it's easy I refer to it as "neurofeedback for dummies" it's easy to use to have something in our lives that is the greatest good, with the least amount of expertise that is required to use it I know I'm not going to feel any adverse effects from the training it's a comprehensive training program and… as a practitioner I am not "playing god" with anybody's brain it's not pushing the brain in any direction If everyone used NeurOptimal? the world would be... If everyone used NeurOptimal? the world would be a much saner place there wouldn't be the desire to hurt anybody else because you know we're all the same the world would be a very would be a very interesting place the world would be a better place a better place a much better place the world would be peaceful peaceful the world would be a lot less twitchy a place where there is a lot of mutual support and a lot of mutual respect a more thoughtful place the world would be happy much more loving a kinder and gentler place [breath] If everyone used NeurOptimal? the world would be so much more efficient and effective... and peaceful and calm, it would be different place it'd be a different place if my brain could talk after a NeurOptimal? session it would say... [laughter] if my brain could talk after a NeurOptimal? session it would say, "Ahhh" "Ahhhhhhh" life is good [laughter] oh this is nice if my brain could talk after a NeurOptimal? session it would say "what were you so worried about?" it would say "I'm free" it would say "thank you" "thank you" it would say "thank you Lise, thank you so much" if my brain could talk after a NeurOptimal? session it would say "why didn't you do this sooner?" Be the best you. It's time.
