I thought my brain was a stone,
set hard.
I thought I was stuck with it
just the way it is.
But hey –
guess what?
Its plastic,
malleable,
and I can,
with time
and patience
make it a shape
that serves me better.
I can streamline it,
make it aerodynamic
so it flies
faster,
safer,
to destinations of my choosing.
I’m not stuck with it
just the way it is.
Ok!
What am I talking about?
Well,
Our thought lives
determine our behaviour.
Right?
It is our
habitual
negative,
thought patterns
that make our lives
anxious
and scary.
It was always assumed
that
we are hardwired
from birth.
But now,
neuroscience tells us
we are not
and that we can
Sculpt
our neural pathways,
our thought lives,
into shapes
and patterns
that serve us better
that make life
more enjoyable.
“THIS IS JUST THE WAY I AM!”
is not a painful
frustrating,
truth
you have to live with anymore.
you can change who you are
by changing how you think!!
You are not just human beings –
you are human becomings!!
You can become who you want to be.
This is not a glib “power of positive thinking” motivational speech.
This is science
and psychology
and it can change your life –
It changed mine.
In my next post I’ll talk about how how to start this process, and how to keep going until your life is less anxious and negative, better, easier, and happier.
I am talking from personal experience here
and
It can be done!!!!
