About Life from the Top of the Mind
This series of video podcasts is based upon a system for success developed by psychologist, Dr. Bill Crawford, (Ph.D.). The basic premise of this philosophy is that the reason we are less than effective is that the problems in our life trigger the release of certain stress-related chemicals that engage the lower 20% of our brain which is incapable of creative thinking. This results in feelings of stress, frustration, and the desire to either lash out or escape. What makes Dr. Crawford's "Top of the Mind" system unique and powerful is that it shows us how to change the chemical make-up of our body and shift to the upper 80% of our brain where we can access the clarity, confidence, and creativity necessary to bring our best to all aspects of life.

This is also, unfortunately, where our stress hormones are triggered, adrenaline, noradrenaline, and cortisol. So breathing is on purpose. There's a concept that I call the 4-4-4 method. Inhale for a count of four, hold it for a count of four, exhale for a count of four. And for those of you who know anything about box breathing, you just put another four at the end of that. And what that does, it begins to have the top of the mind, what I call neocortex, what I call the top of the mind, actually begin to regain control of one of the functions normally controlled by the lower brain.
