For this episode, Yvonne is joined by Nicole Vignola who has worked for many years to make neuroscience tangible for the masses. Enabling them to understand the science behind how their brains are wired so they can stop sabotaging themselves. She is just about to launch her first book REWIRE to provide people with a structured way of doing this. This episode is packed with insights into why we do what we do. Including why siblings often see, and react to, the world in radically different ways. How to weaken the negative pathways that keep us locked in fear and negative behaviour. What compels us to contact our ex, even during a bad break-up and much more. KEY TAKEAWAYS Anyone can rewire their brains to change habits, behaviours and thought patterns. Plasticity works both ways. You can weaken as well as strengthen pathways. So, you can reduce the impact fear is having on you. Because we are hardwired for survival, we naturally pay more attention to the negative.  Social media can be used positively, but when you let it get out of control, it will demotivate you. Your life partner becomes ingrained in your neural network. During a breakup, your brain struggles and constantly wants to check in with them. You can help others, but you can´t change someone else´s brain. Only they can do that. Manifestation helps to block out negativity and keeps you focused and strengthens the right neural pathways. BEST MOMENTS ‘Plasticity works both ways. We can strengthen pathways, or we can weaken them.’ ‘Reframing is being more realistic about the situation.’ ‘Sweat before you scroll.’ ‘I was mimicking the way my mother behaved.’   EPISODE RESOURCES REWIRE by Nicole Vignola (buy anywhere in the world link) - https://geni.us/1sWgaf6 https://www.instagram.com/nicolesneuroscience VALUABLE RESOURCES website: pausepenny.com Instagram: @yvonnetchrakian_manifest @pause.penny LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/yvonne-tchrakian-64257619/   HOST BIO Yvonne started her career as a corporate lawyer for one of Ireland's top law firms.
