Minds that Win The Science and Art of Success c. 2005 Deborah Wasserman, Ph. D.
Successful People need what animals have
Animals know how to use their muscles
They know how to be still and balance
Some know where they are in relation to others
Successful people also need … to plan, think, remember and control their emotions.
Which of these animals plan, think, remember, or control their emotions?
What animals can do depends on what’s in their brains • This is a human brain.
Brains of other animals A fish A frog And a bird
All backbone animals have a brain stem • It controls heart rate and breathing
All backbone animals have a cerebellum • It controls balance, posture, and movement
They all have a part that thinks, remembers, makes choices and controls emotions • The Cerebral Cortex is VERY well developed in humans; • less so in fish, frogs and birds.
Deep in the thinking part they have an almond shaped amygdala • All animals with backbones have an amygdala
The amygdala doesn’t think…it feels
When there’s danger, part of your amygdala causes you to: • freeze • fight • or take flight
The part that gets scared and mad turns on the part of your brain that is like a lizard. You need it to defend yourself. • freeze • fight • or take flight
Another part of your amygdala causes you to feel good about winning
It turns on when the fear part is resting You feel less worried, scared, or angry.
The part that feels reward turns on the part of your brain that is like a mammal (like a kitten or a puppy). You need it to play.
. . . And cuddle and feel love
When your fear part rests, your human (ARTIST) part of your brain works better too. You feel like you are: • Free to make your own choices • Smart and skilled • Connected to friends
Play with switching feelings in your amygdala • Put your fingers on each side of your head, halfway between your eyes and your ears. • About one inch inside your skull are your amygdalae. You have on each side.
• Imagine your nose in this garbage ….
• Now imagine smelling your favorite flower
• Imagine a heavy weight attached to the back side of your amygdala. • Now imagine a feather tickling the front side.
When the FEAR part of your amygdala is working too hard, your mammal brain stops • Fight • Flight So does your human ARTIST brain. • Freeze
When the FEAR part of your amygdala is working less. . . All of your brain works together
When the fear part of the amygdala shuts down completely, you’re “in the zone. ” You don’t feel worried, scared, or angry. You feel completely : • Competent • In charge • Connected
To be “in the zone, ” successful people need to exercise their bodies… They also need to exercise their brains.
Art making is an exercise for shutting down the fear part of the amygdala
When you make the art you choose • You feel less worried, scared, and angry. • You feel more : – Competent – In charge and – Connected
Art making is mind exercise for being “in the zone”.
Art making is mind exercise for winning.
Winning bodies have winning minds
