One of the key concepts in Reboot Yourself is frog brain.
Our minds have a reptilian part that looks after our basic human needs: survival and reproduction. Food and sex. When you think of reptilian, think of your brain on two springy legs like a frog. The frog is leaping around from one lily pad to another because it can. Instead of going “ribbit, ribbit”, your brain is saying “habit, habit”.
We don’t consciously know 95% of what is going on in our mind.
Our subconscious creates the world we live in, through choices that get passed by our internal parliament before our conscious mind ever has a chance to vote.
Frog brain causes many of the problems we need to "Turn Off" from. But when harnessed appropriately, Frog Brain can really take us places.
