Today we discuss how to supercharge your mind and take your life to a completely new level.

 

The mind is the controlling faculty of the brain. It enables a person to be aware of their world, their experiences, how they think, and how they feel. We all have the power to change and reprogram our thinking. The question is, are you receptive to change?

My first guest, Mary Bass, is a mental health wellness expert that knows all about stress and how to manage it. She joins me today to discuss tackling pessimistic thinking, the correlation between physical health and mental wellness, and the benefits of a consistent daily routine.

My second guests, Dr. Robert Carter III and Dr. Kirti Salwe Carter, are co-authors of The Morning Mind: Use Your Brain to Master Your Day and Supercharge Your Life. They join me today to talk about mastering our day to supercharge our life, why not getting restful sleep can be associated with weight gain, and how properly managing stress preserves our health and productivity.
