Brain Fact Friday: Using Neuroscience to Build a Stronger 2.0 Version of You.

<p>“It doesn’t matter how hard we work, or how many hours we put in, if OUR Paradigm (or mental program that has exclusive control over our habitual behavior) does not change, the results will ultimately remain the same, year after year.” Bob Proctor, from the Paradigm Shift Seminar.  </p> <p>Welcome back to The Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast, where we cover the science-based evidence behind social and emotional learning (for schools) and emotional intelligence training (in the workplace) with tools, ideas and strategies that we can all use for immediate results.</p> <p>I’m Andrea Samadi, and for this week’s Brain Fact Friday, I want to revisit how exactly we change our identity, to build a stronger, more resilient, 2.0 version of ourselves, by reviewing our self-image and self-belief that we covered on EPISODE #199<a href='#_edn1'>[i]</a> that had over 1300 downloads, showing me that you are just as interested in this topic as I am.</p> <p>In this episode we will discuss:</p> <p>✔ What is PRAXIS (the application of a theory) and how can we use this idea?</p> <p>✔ What is our self-image vs our self-esteem?</p> <p>✔ How is our self-image/identity formed?</p> <p>✔ How do we identify gaps or areas we can improve?</p> <p>✔ How can we change our self-image/identity?</p> <p>✔ Can our confidence levels be seen by others?</p> <p>✔ Can we predict a person’s self-esteem levels (or what they think of themselves) by looking at their brain?</p> <p>✔ 4 Steps to create a 2.0 version of YOU!</p> <p> </p> <p>What is PRAXIS and How Can We Use it For Improved Results?</p> <p>This weekend I was thinking about life, and how we just get one shot to make it a meaningful one. I’m sure I’m not alone with this line of thinking, especially these days, when it comes to acknowledging how fragile life really is. Earlier this month, I lost another mentor—Mark Low, who was my neighbor in Toronto, who was the one who handed me “the” book that would change my life forever. You can read the story I’ve told of
