Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor

We're being an experience.

So as I take in this room, I take in this whole room, right?

My left brain says, I'm going to focus on you and I got these books and I've got these things and I got the brains and everything and everything's a thing.

But to the right brain, everything is one thing.

And when I live my life, knowing that I can shift out of the stress circuitry of that left brain that says more cortisol, more cortisol, do, do, do.

then when I, it's the, it's the, that's the push.

The right brain is the pause.

And that's why I was saying before, we're not a robot.

We're not a computer.

We are a biological organism.

And so we don't plug ourselves in and turn it on and it stays on and forever until it dies.

And then we buy a new one.

We have rhythms, we have natural patterns and we have to push and

And we have to pause and we have to pause because we are 50 trillion molecular geniuses that are eating and creating waste and we need to clean up the mess.

And that's what happens during sleep.

I go through all the details of trying to get myself help.

And that meant to me the one plan I could get between shifting back out into the euphoria of my right hemisphere where I'm just happy.

I'm just there and I don't have a plan.

Because it was just floating in a pool of blood.

It wasn't there for me.
