Learn How To Program Your Brain
Many people believe that emotions are what make us be one way and not another, and this is partly true. Together with feelings they allow us to be who we are, although our experiences also have their share of responsibility. It is that we usually live always “updating” or remembering the feelings of the past. It is the same chemical process, over and over again.
One of the questions you can ask yourself to figure out whether or not you really should change or reprogram your brain is what is the feeling that invades me every day, serving as the perfect excuse for not modifying anything?
You will be able to say that you have the ability to eliminate guilt, shame, the feeling of not deserving to be happy, that you are worthless and that is really a great way to start. This way you will get rid of everything that destroys you, that locks you up, cages you or holds you prisoner. The aforementioned states are those that drive you to behave as if you were an animal behind bars.
Ask yourself what you can change about yourself to be a better person, what is the highest ideal you can or want to achieve, what story or character do you admire in order to emulate, etc. You are solely responsible for what happens to you because although you can say that others lead you to feel bad or depressed, you are the one who decides to stay on that path. You can change your mentality to create new paths through which the brain travels more calmly or, at least, different from what is known.
Do not be afraid of what you do not know or do not know, the unknown does not have to be bad in 100% of the cases. It is proven that the brain is capable of helping to cure the most harmful diseases, such as cancer or diabetes. Our thoughts become matter, according to the most prestigious scientists in the world. People have the ability to change the architecture of our brain. Of this there is no doubt.
First of all, you have to accept it and believe it. Understand that there is a superior intelligence, above the known, which is inside us, but “sleeping.” You just need to wake her up.
Second, accept that your own thoughts and reactions: they are what make you sick (there is a scientific field called psycho-neuro-immunology that shows that there is a connection between the mind and the body), to be in a certain way , to respond in a certain way, to react specifically to each stimulus, etc.
The third step on this path of reprogramming the mind is to reinvent yourself. That is, think about how you would like to be, both physically and mentally or spiritually. From looking slimmer to being more compassionate, to fattening your legs to not getting angry about everything. Meditate or imagine yourself with that feature already “included in your inventory.”
The frontal lobe of the brain represents 40% of its totality. When we are concentrated or very focused, it acts as a volume control. By having connections with all parts of the body, you can increase or decrease it as you wish.
This means that the circuits that are related to moving your body, perceiving your surroundings or feeling emotions can also modify reality. You just have to focus your mind on a single thought, on that desire, that dream, that goal and the brain will take care of the rest.
Our mind, under certain conditions, can hardly distinguish between what is real and what is invented. By wanting to reprogram it, we are modifying many details that have been saved for years. This is not only for the internal or external changes of our body, but also for what we want to achieve materially, such as a house, a partner, a job, a car, a trip, etc. Imagine it over and over again and you increase the chances that it will come true. The mechanism is very similar to the one that works with our self-fulfilling prophecies.
It is possible to change our mentality by creating new connections or “wiring” that go from the brain to other parts of the body, strengthening thought, establishing priorities, using the part of the mind that is responsible for making fantasies come true, and so on.
There is nothing mystical in the results of these investigations, but it is the same intelligence that organizes and regulates the functions of the body and at the same time allows the heart to beat a hundred thousand times a day, we breathe thousands of times or blink without thinking. The mind is also responsible for the almost 70 functions of the liver, gastric juices and many other tasks.
And finally, it is worth noting that every time we think we are making different chemicals. Negative thoughts produce harmful signals for the body. Take the test: think of something sad and in a few seconds the sadness will invade your whole body. On the contrary, imagine something cheerful or laugh at a joke and you will realize that the predisposition is different. It is that everything, completely everything, is “in the hands” of the brain.
