<p>“If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost: this is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them.”</p> <p>--Henry David Thoreau from Walden</p> <p></p> <p>Welcome back to <em>The Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast</em> where we bridge the gap between theory and practice, with strategies, tools and ideas we can all use immediately, applied to the most current brain research to heighten productivity in our schools, sports environments and modern workplaces. For returning guests, welcome back, and for those who are new listeners, I’m Andrea Samadi and launched this podcast almost 4 years ago, to share how important an understanding of our brain is for our everyday life and results.</p> <p>On today’s Episode #272 we will cover</p> <p>✔ An Introduction to Season 9: Going Back to the Basics by revisiting our past Brain Fact Fridays.</p> <p>✔ A reminder: What is the Reticular Activating System and How Can It Help Us to Achieve Our Goals.</p> <p>✔ A Review of The Creative Process or Turning a Fantasy into a Fact.</p> <p>✔ Priming Our Brain to Set Worthy Goals </p> <p>✔ What the Most Current Brain Research Says to Help Us to Improve Our Goal-Setting Process</p> <p>✔ Research-Based Tips to Prime Your Brain to Achieve Your Goals in 2023</p> <p>This season (Season 9) we will be focused on <em>Neuroscience: Going Back to the Basics </em>as we revisit<em> our past Brain Fact Fridays, </em>narrowing in on how anything new from the field of neuroscience can be tied to improving our productivity, our results, mental and physical health. Why are we going back to the basics?
