The past few days I’ve gotten in a good position to write these blog posts and my mind just goes blank. (I think it’s gone on a mini-vacation these past few days) Ill get a brain surge of ideas right before I fall asleep at night and wake up the next morning floundering for the genius idea I had to share that I just knew would help somebody out! I’m too wound up in a list of to-do’s in my life outside of the Internet and with my brain running on “E” my levels of creativity seems to be plummeting as well.
Which brings me to the description for the image I’ve shared above. That’s my brain. Well…. An organized, categorized version of it! (My OCD just loves this super arranged brain and wonders why it can’t be like this in real life)
I participated in a brain training program called Neurocore where you literally learn to train parts of your brain. The graph above is a diagnostics test they preformed on me showing my normal brain levels.
(If you look closely, interestingly enough the levels in my brain that truly stand above the rest are my anxiety and creativity levels. Formerly they had never seen a creativity level so highly graphed before but those two levels specifically are key indicators of my OCD displayed. Of course anxiety and stress levels are going to register higher for someone with OCD but a spike in creativity levels is also commonly found in people with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder.
A study was once conducted where a group of people sat around a single light bulb in a circle. They were all connected to that light bulb through special wiring to their brains. The only task they had to perform was managing to turn the bulb on and off strictly with their mind and then they were free to go. Sounds crazy right?! I promise it is possible!
After so many hours the group finally got the hang of it. Without any kind of tips or techniques their minds figured out how to operate as the generator and the switch for this light bulb.
And that’s what I learned to do. The Neurocore program works similarly although they use movies as the stimulant rather than a light bulb. It’s truly mind boggling how your mind knows to operate in such a way. We don’t realize how much power we truly can harness in our minds.
Neurocore training is commonly used by business corporations to try and sharpen and hone skills of their working professionals. Similarly, pro athletes use the Neurocore system to exercise their minds as well as their bodies. It also has been advertised as a healthy sleep aid and betterment of general mental health, especially in elders.

Happy brain training!
OCD isn't me
