4 Brain’s Default Settings That Quietly Sabotage You (And How to Fix It)
Why you do certain things even though you don’t want to do them.
The brain is a powerful organ that controls our thought processes, emotions, and behaviors. It’s capable of extraordinary things like imagining new worlds, solving complex problems, and creating meaningful relationships.
The problem is, most people don’t realize that the way they think and behave aren’t always conscious. They’re being influenced by their brain’s “built-in setting.”

Here are default settings in your brain that quietly sabotage your growth, success, and happiness.
