Once you look at a lesson and ask, “How am I going to make this material relevant,” you have admitted that the material is not actually relevant. If that’s true–if the lesson is inherently irrelevant–then you need to ask a bigger question.

I have long loved learning about the brain and how it miraculously works FOR our body. Our brain figures out instantaneously how to respond to any given situation. Our brain knows how to respond to a positive event, such as holding your child for the first time. Similarly, our brain knows how to respond when we fear danger is near, such as the notion of being followed in a dark parking garage.
