Lol, as a mom of 3.. my threshold is exceeded quite often! So often I'm worried about making sure I have everything I need for everyone else and everything is done before we go somewhere, that I forget the ONE THING I NEED.. like my purse! LOL! Did you know that as our brains forge those new neural pathways (with the new habit or intentional behavior), and as the new neuron grows, the old neuron will actually reach up and try to absorb the new one? But as we persist in the new pathway (and not go back to our old way), the old neuron will shrivel, die off, and absorb into the new neuron! It's crazy!! The science is fascinating! No doubt we were fearfully and wonderfully made!! :)

Wow, that is super interesting! I’d love to read more of the science on that. It’s pretty incredible what our brains are capable of. Also, I can only imagine how crazy things must be as a busy mom of 3! Your brain must feel overload all the time with details on what every kid needs... not to mention finding a second for yourself. (If a moment like that even exists!)

Haha well some seasons of motherhood are harder than others. Mine are a little bigger now so there is more time. I can at least now close the door and tell them it's Mom's quiet time! LOL! Yep, my husband and I used to facilitate a class called Family Life Skills (lifeskillsintl.org) and it covered a whole HOST of things.. anger, processing your emotions, communications styles, communication in relationships, arrested development (fixation), life commandments, NLP, etc. It was a very intense class that lasted for 35ish weeks. We learned all about the brain... and the physical component that I explained above about blew my mind. You are LITERALLY renewing the cells in your mind when you purpose to do something new or change a habit, decision, etc. ... not just emotionally/mentally.. but physically too! It's amazing!!!

What an incredible and intense sounding class! 35 weeks is a long time, you must have sooo much super interesting content from your old curriculum. I bet you could write some EXCELLENT posts on some of the topics from the class. Just throwing it out there! I know that I’d sure love to read them. 😊
