We all have this amazing power, to create whatever we want.
As humans, we have this superpower of imagination. We can visualize, feel and imagine ourselves being somewhere or feeling something that we currently are not.
You could, imagine yourself right now.. Walking into your kitchen, opening up your fridge door and noticing a big juicy yellow lemon. Then grabbing that lemon you pull out your knife and cutting board, to then slice the lemon into wedges. Next, you take a bite of the lemon and feel the lemon juices squirting into your mouth.
My question to you is, did your tastebuds react?
See, your brain doesn't know the difference between your imagination and reality. Which is why, at times you can feel the same emotion from an old experience over and over again, even if its not happening.
All it knows is feeling. Our thoughts create our feelings. On a sensory level we are able to experience whatever is going on in our minds and imagination.
Everything you think about, will create how ...
I think too often we doubt our potential.
We hold ourselves back from we could really be capable of.
Why? Its because we’re afraid to fail or, even sometimes afraid to succeed. Our potential feels big, overwhelming and scary.
The reason many people don’t take a step towards change, is because it equates to the unknown. Your brain wants predictable, it wants to be good. It wants to know what’s next.
But — doing something different, requires you have to step outside the box, outside of your comfort zone and what is “safe and familiar”.
Unfortunately, it’s the last thing your brain want to do. Your brain wants to tell you “stay safe, stay in the cave. Keep doing what you’ve always done. Because I know how”
It’s why we thrive on routine.
But if we keep doing what we’ve always done, we never grow, we never expand and we don’t step into what we could be.
Look back at our world history, if someone didn’t do something different and question the way things are, we wouldn...
One of the biggest struggles I used to have was being in a constant battle with my mind. I found myself beating myself up internally. I had a stream of negative thoughts coming through and I felt as though I had no control over them. Which lead to me always feeling like I was low confidence, low on energy, low on ambition and like I couldn't get anything done.
The thread of thoughts that went through my head was doing the opposite of helping me feel any better...
“I’m not doing enough”
“I look like I’ve let myself go”
“I’m so out of shape”
“I feel gross"
“I need to get my life together”
“I'm so far behind"
MY BRAIN WAS A BULLY!! I always wanted to escape my mind & wished I could just FEEL better!
The thing is.... Nobody told me that the reason I felt so bad was because I was thinking bad. I let my monkey mind take over and wasn't controlling it myself.
The truth is, we can control our minds OR our minds will control us. We get to decide. It's a privel...
