Harness the Power of Your Brain’s Reticular Activating System (RAS): Think It Out Journal
Harness the Power of Your Brain’s Reticular Activating System (RAS)
Have you ever wondered what powers your creativity and sharpens your focus? The secret might lie in your brain’s Reticular Activating System (RAS). This remarkable part of your brain plays a crucial role in how you process information and could be the key to unlocking your creative potential through activities like writing or doodling.
Understanding the RAS
The RAS is a bundle of nerves at our brainstem that filters out unnecessary information so the important stuff gets through. It acts as a gatekeeper, deciding what information your brain pays attention to (the conscious mind) and what gets ignored. This filtering system is why you can hear your name mentioned in a noisy room, or why you suddenly start noticing cars of the same model after purchasing one. In essence, the RAS helps you focus on what you deem important, allowing you to process information more effectively.
Overcoming Challenges
We all know that recovering from tough times can feel like climbing a mountain. Not everyone will fully understand your journey, but tackling trauma and anxiety is essential. Ignoring these issues can lead to further complications. But don't worry! Our Think It Out Journal offers a comforting embrace for your thoughts, providing a safe space to explore your emotions and promote personal growth.
Our founder spent years in a high-pressure sales role, where processing thoughts, managing emotions, and making swift decisions were essential. The Think It Out Journal was inspired by her own experiences, as she relied on journaling to quickly process information. For those dealing with trauma recovery, anxiety—whether in parents or children—PTSD, and more, this journal breaks down complex feelings into manageable parts. Through its guided sections, it introduces a fresh approach to journaling and information processing. One notable feature is the brain dump section, which encourages you to clear your mental clutter. After all, we don’t carry around garbage, so why should we leave it in our minds?
By engaging with your RAS through activities like writing and doodling, you can train your brain to filter the noise and focus on what truly matters. So, grab your copy of the Think It Out Journal today and experience a new way of journaling that harnesses the power of your RAS!
