Imagine a climate of peace, with humility that inspires, and people who recognize talents, and you’ve just begun to awaken intrapersonal intelligence. Build healthy relationships that shape character, and your brain cultivates new neuron pathways toward spirit and highest values such as caring in your character and in others. Or trust that turned LA’s most troubled secondary school into one of its best. Have you experienced it?
It prevents bullying, removes fear and transforms toxic workplaces. It discourages cynicism, encourages people to live and lead with respected values, 
as it unifies a community through strategies of excellence. It builds goodwill applied with simplicity, that adds intelligence, humility and confidence.
Some call Intrapersonal intelligence learned common sense because you intuitively cultivate values and learn from teachable moments. Whatever it’s named, do you intrapersonally inspire others to renew ethically with the brain in mind?
Values are awakened in intrapersonal intelligence through strategies that inspire kindness, listening, compassion, and care. It starts with respect for the dignity of each person, regardless of race or background, and ends with building goodwill among those who disagree.
Your intrapersonal intelligence stores equipment to cultivate values and live morally or spiritually. Ethical practices, when lived, literally rewire the brain for more positive character traits. Values practiced in everyday settings inspire mental habits for care in the wider community through mirror neurons. When you speak or live higher values you also create a climate of peace and safety where others tend to cultivate character. That’s how the human brain works.
Rarely accidental – values build character if embedded in positive cultural change initiatives. Facilitate ethical renewal through keynote speakers that inspire cultivation of specific values, personal growth plans, bullying intervention tactics, leadership for character development, and motivational tools that transform destructive behaviors into positive performance strategies. Growth tends to follow those who build consensus for traits valued, and then compete for evidence of quality in personal or group practices. Have you seen it?
In a nutshell, character development includes, respect, kindness, honesty, social justice, service, and other intrapersonal smart skills championed by people of all faiths and cultures. Ethical acts awaken brainpower whenever a person links intrapersonal intelligence to lived values. Acts that give direction to gifts of character, also tend to discourage toxins of cynics.
In MITA Brain Institutes character development is cultivated by building what Dr. Nel Noddings refers to as the ethics of caring communities. Brain based character building includes ethics cultivated in governing circles to ensure that virtue inspires all participants to learn and lead ethically. With the brain in mind, you investigate solutions to problems and at the same time cultivate virtue in yourself and others toward caring but challenging circles.
How does your workplace cultivate commonly held values and facilitate character building?

It’s now believed that you have both angel and devil brain parts and these two forces stay in consistent battle for your actions. Do you agree? Researchers looked at activity in the brain for healthy and unhealthy food choices and what they found may surprise you.
Angel brain parts help people to consider abstract decisions such as healthy living, whereas devil parts push to crave junk food. Simply put, angel brain parts nudge you toward well being, the devil parts fight for weaker choices. Has it happened to you with food or other areas? 
Angel and Devil parts of your brain battle for supremacy, according to Dr. Antonio Rangel at California Institute of Technology. Published discoveries in May 1st journal of Science suggest researchers are being led to investigate why some people live more self-control yet others tend to prefer peril.
Of unique interest is Rangel’s question: “What is special about the circuitry of brains that can exercise good behavioral self-control?”
What do you think?
Consider 10 personal choice related factors from recent neuro discoveries:
1. Open spigots that turn off craving also link to and help balance dopamine chemicals.
2, Offer one peaceful act in a moment of conflict, builds neuron pathways to a culture of peace.
3. Create common ethical actions in any group and human brains rewire beyond social justice.
4. Cultivate creativity beyond a cynic’s reach and restore brainpower to heal toxic workplaces.
5. Toss tone skills at words that tear down and watch sparks fly for winning solutions.
6. Act on common sense decision and your brain adds intrapersonal intelligence to solutions.
7. Live what you hope others will see in you and plasticity will rewire your brain for more.
8. Tame the amygdala and watch solutions pop up where stubborn problems persisted.
9. Increase serotonin in your brain and in others and fuel mental journey toward success.
10. Laugh at yourself and then expect brain benefits for you and entire circles as a result.
Research continues to weigh both angel and devil parts of human brains, yet it’s worth getting started on an adventure for benefits from neuro discoveries already made. What do you think?

Would you agree that you came into this world with a sort of neurology of beauty?
If so, how will your unique gene pool, and its beauty – further shape your day?
Here are a few ways I see beauty and the brain for my day:
Look for multiple intelligences that link to beauty in others, and then affirm any intelligence that stands out above the rest.
Transform one difficult or broken part of your day by planning for a beauty brainpower boom.
Each time we act on beauty – we build new neuron pathways for more of the same. Nightly the brain rewires it’s plasticity for even more of each beautiful move you’ll make today. It’s all core part of intrapersonal intelligence, and expands daily for any who draw on its splendor.
How will the possibility of a brain hardwired for beauty change your day?
