Wrong way

Wrong way

Your brain is made up of millions of pathways.

Imagine it like this: You are going to visit grandma. You use the same freeway and the same exits off the freeway to get to her house. You’ll also use the same turns and stop signs til you get there. Are you picturing it?

But then imagine, one day, there was construction going on because they are breaking the road up. You now have to use an alternate route.

This route takes longer. You have to go around the mountain and on dirt roads. It got very frustrating.

This is what happens to a broken brain.

A TBI, a virus or a concussion can break up pathways.

Things can seem easy and seamless and the next second you are frustrated and angry.

Your brain is the control center of your body. Here is a list of things that your brain controls:

It controls your thinking

Your memory

Your concentration

Your problem solving

Your emotions

Your touch

Your motor skills

Your coordination

Your vision

Your breathing

Your taste

Your smell

Your speech

The temperature of your body

Your hunger and thirst

And every other process that regulates your body.

We can’t function without our brain.

There is so much that we can do to have a healthy brain.

Coming soon will be a post on how you can strengthen your brain.

As always, you are not alone! Reach out with any questions!
