In a society that often values success based on external accomplishments, Christoffel Sneijders has made it his life’s mission to assist people in unlocking their full potential by embracing the power of their three brains. Christoffel is deeply passionate about making a positive impact and wants to inspire others to do the same. His goal is to empower and motivate everyone to lead with their emotions, while also using their intellect and intuition.
Christoffel’s approach is centered on the scientifically proven concept of our three brains. One in our Head, one in our Heart and one in our Gut.
Have you ever heard or uttered the words, “follow your heart” or “trust your gut”? These phrases, though tossed around lightly, hold a profound truth.
Why is this so important to know?
As it shed alight on the burning question: “Why do so many of us find it challenging to stick to their initial plans, if it is now work or personal or health related?
The answer lies in our biological inherent resistance to change, which begs us to explore the crucial matter of maintaining both safety and sanity amid these circumstances.
As an example let’s look from a mental health perspective, we are dealing with significantly increased stress and anxiety levels. The World Health Organization (WHO) warns us about these potential impacts this has , and their advice makes perfect sense on paper. However, for most people, following such recommendations feels like an insurmountable task, requiring a complete shift in behaviour and beliefs.
Let’s face it: changing our habits is no easy feat. We all know the struggle of trying to break free from addiction or adopting healthier eating habits. Simply understanding the need for change isn’t enough to make it happen. If knowledge alone could transform us, unhealthy habits would cease to exist. So, what’s really stopping us? It’s like an unconscious force that holds us back.
Our behaviours and beliefs are deeply rooted in our early experiences. Most of our (limiting) beliefs and habits are stored in our somatic experiences, the language of our emotions. When it comes to change, words alone don’t cut it. It’s like speaking Chinese to an Englishman and expecting them to understand. We need to communicate with our minds and bodies to address the core of our beliefs and memories.
Here’s where it gets fascinating. Recent research has shed light on the fact that our memories and beliefs are stored not only in our Head Brain but also in our Heart Brain and Gut Brain.
First up, we have the Gut Brain, our survival centre, with a whopping 500 million neurons. It’s responsible for our fight-or-flight responses, fear, anger, and feeding our ego. In these hostile times, the Gut Brain goes into overdrive, perceiving our environment as dangerous and triggering feelings of anxiety and stress.
Next, there’s the Heart Brain, with 100,000 neurons fuelling our desire for connection, love, compassion, and even hate. When the Heart Brain craves compensation, it activates the Gut Brain, who knows that indulging in food brings us a momentary sense of happiness.
Lastly, we can’t forget our trusty Head Brain, which comprises the rational human brain, the emotional middle brain, and the instinctual reptilian brain. Together, they strive to make sense of it all and create logical explanations.
These two Brains influence our decisions and behaviour in a radical way and stop you from many times from learning, and even could be blamed for letting you fail.
Here’s the catch – they’re not the villains.
They operate with positive intentions, wanting to help us. They are not saboteurs, as some gurus like to tell you!
But, their strategies are rooted in their biological roles, memories, and past lessons. These strategies sometimes conflict with each other.
Another way to look at is, imagine your mind and body as a boardroom, where three members – the Heart, Gut, and Head – each contribute unique insights based on their specialities. The Heart, guided by empathy and connection, prioritises the impact our decisions have on others. The Gut, our personal hustler, focuses on self-preservation and drives us to get things done. Lastly, the Head serves as our strategic planner, offering logical reasoning and analysis to harmonise the heart’s compassion and the gut’s ambition.
However, when one member dominates the decision-making, it may create discord among the others, potentially disrupting or even derailing our plans. This dynamic, this internal boardroom drama, is at the heart of our successes and struggles.
By recognising and effectively balancing these three voices, we can harness the power of this trinity to make decisions that are not only productive but also holistic and well-rounded.
