Knowledge becomes a weapon. By making an ally of my "brain and mind," I stood up resiliently.

🐶 "Rosa begins her struggle by arming herself with the 'mechanisms of the brain and mind'... the wisdom of neuroscience and psychology!"

The bankruptcy of my workplace,
the betrayal of the president,
selling my house...

Days spent letting go of
the things I held dear, one by one.

(My turbulent life is written here ↓. But I have recovered. A reboot is possible.)

Back then,
I knew nothing of 'neuroscience' or 'psychology'.

I had never even thought about how to use my mind,
I was just desperately living each day.


But, about 10 years ago, I found out.

The 'brain everyone possesses' has astonishing powerandnot everyone is making full use of it...

"What? Even though it's my own brain?
What a waste❣️

I don't want to die without knowing about it!"
That's what I thought.


Since then, I have learned neuroscience and psychology little by little,
and I was very surprised.

"I realized that back then, I was coincidentally doing 'things good for the brain and mind' properly."

I thought I had overcome it through sheer willpower alone.
But that wasn't the case.

There is a 'mechanism to the human mind' and
a 'direction in which the brain recovers easily'.

Surprisingly,
I had been walking in that direction little by little.

Today, I will write about that.

And,
if you are struggling right now...
I want you to find this weapon and use it 🍀

(※ A brain where a 'genius' and a 'fool' coexist. It is a waste not to know the hidden potential of your own brain. Please make use of it!) ↓

The 'things good for the brain' I did unconsciously defeated my negativity (viewed from a neuroscience perspective)

This is a personal story from before I started my own business.

When I was at rock bottom,
even when I was about to be swallowed by the despair that it was all over,
I was desperately searching for 'what I could do now'.

Looking back,
I was surprisingly
embracing the 'mechanisms of the brain and heart'.

(If you read the article below first, you will understand this article more deeply. It is a story about the starting point of a reboot.)

That was not
a comforting spell that 'things will get better someday'.

What on earth was it?

Shining a searchlight on a small light

Back then, I lost many things.

But strangely enough,
I did not completely lose hope.

Because, unconsciously,
I was searching for the 'light that still remained'
and shining a searchlight on it.

Thinking about it now, I believe this was close to the function of the
RAS, where the brain strengthens what you focus on,as described in neuroscience.

※If you have hope and a heart of gratitude,the brain's RAS function will do its best to find the positive. Read the experimental results ↓

Even if my possessions decreased, my family is still here.
I have food to eat today.
Flowers are blooming.
Morning comes...

I was confirming such small things
to myself over and over again.

If you only look at anxiety, your anxiety increases,

and if you only look at what you have lost,
your brain will reinforce the idea that 'I am unhappy'.

Conversely,
when you find 'things that are still okay' and 'things you have now', your brain starts searching for peace of mind

.

I think I was desperately protecting myself
without even knowing that mechanism.

I turned my anger into 'the power to move forward'

When the company president ran off with the money,
to be honest, I was incredibly angry.

I felt frustrated.
I felt pathetic.
I wondered, "Why is this happening to me?"

But rather than holding onto that anger forever,
I gradually shifted it toward the direction of
"I don't want it to end like this."

I had started studying for the Real Estate Notary exam
just a little before that.

I understand this now.

It seems thatwhen people have a sense that they can change their own future, their minds recover more easily.

It can be small.

The sense of "choosing for myself" gives hope to the brain.

Through studying for my qualification, I gradually
began to think, "I won't let my life end yet!"

I focused on the "here and now" and protected myself

Back then,
thinking too much about the future made me suffer.

Living expenses,
my life ahead,
once I started thinking about them, the anxiety wouldn't stop.

So I decided,
to just try to live for today for the time being.

Let's just do what I can today.
Let's get through today safely.

I learned this after studying brain science, butit seems that when people keep thinking about a future that hasn't happened yet, anxiety tends to intensify.

Butby bringing consciousness back to the "here and now," the brain feels a little more at ease.

I didn't know the theory at the time.

But in my daily life,
I was doing it naturally.

Drinking warm tea.
Admiring flowers.
Looking at the sky.
Laughing with my family.

I think those small moments were what supported my heart.

Without me realizing it, these also became weapons that supported my brain.

Knowledge becomes a "weapon" that supports life (viewed from a psychological perspective)

The weapon that separated facts from interpretations was...

A major turnaround through reframing

Moving after selling my home. In the eyes of society, it might be a "downfall."

But I perceived it as a "new adventure" and chose to be excited.

I was intuitively using what is called reframing (redefinition) in psychology.

When you have "self-efficacy," you have nothing to fear

And I kept issuing myself certificates of achievement...

Continuing to study for the Real Estate Notary exam while in despair, and obtaining the qualification.

That gave my brain a powerful
sense of confidence (self-efficacy) that "I am a person who can produce results regardless of the environment."

Perhaps people are suffering on the battlefield without knowing how to use their "brain and mind."

I used to think that only stronger people could overcome difficulties.

But things are different now.

Of course,
there are times when grit and determination are necessary.

But that is not all there is to it.

The human mind has a "mechanism."
The brain has "habits."

And by understanding those mechanisms, there are times when you don't have to suffer more than necessary...

I have realized this through my own life.

"Knowledge" becomes a weapon that supports your life.

I now think,
"I wish I had known this sooner."

"This is how the brain works,"
"This is how anxiety grows stronger,"
"How you direct your focus changes how you feel."
Things like that.

But at the same time, I think,
even without knowing,
people are trying their best to protect themselves.

I happened to choose a good direction for my brain and mind by chance.

However, what if knowledge were added to that...

There might be people who could recover faster.

There might be people who wouldn't have to blame themselves so much.
That is why I am writing this now.

It doesn't mean that painful events will disappear.

But by knowing the "mechanisms of the brain and mind,"
people can become a little more resilient.

It's not about not breaking,
but about being able to bounce back even if you do break.

My own life has taught me this.

And to you who are reading this, I want to convey that
"knowledge will become a power that helps you"
.

If you acquire the "weapon of the brain and mind," you too can stand up resiliently.

I am not a particularly strong person.

I cried a lot,
I felt down,
and I felt anxious.

But now that I understand how the mind works, I know.

People don't have to stay at rock bottom,
they can truly climb back up,

and
soar even higher.that is what I believe.

To do that,
where you focus your attention,
how you choose your words,
your small daily habits,

I think those things are very important.

If there is anyone currently in pain,
I want to tell you this.

It is not that you are weak.

Perhaps,
you just don't know the "mechanisms of the brain and mind" yet.


Knowledgemay not be something that instantly lights a fire in the darkness, butit can be a light that illuminates "which way you should walk."

I learned that in my own life.

I will continue to share the "power of the brain and mind"
little by little.

Let's make it a weapon to protect you,
and walk forward together! 🍀
