Our bodies are amazing tools...one fascinating example, our bodies deliver energy to us when we experience stressful situations. 

Our brains are the most-sophisticated part of our bodies!  Our brains, particularly the pre-frontal cortex parts of our brains, are there to make sure we put our stress-energy to best use.

Our pre-frontal cortices do much, much more than that: 

• They help us focus
• They help us initiate new thoughts and actions
• They help us plan
• They help us organize
• They help us shift our thoughts and actions
• They help us monitor ourselves
• They help us regulate our thoughts and actions
• They provide opportunities to choose
• They provide opportunities to connect with other people
• They provide opportunities to make the best use of our lives
