We all have something called „limiting beliefs“. These are self-doubting thoughts nestled in our psyche on our journey through life that reinforce the role of victim. The victim blames the world around him or her and, by emphasizing past hurts, reinforces to him or herself and those around him or her that it is because of those hurts that he or she cannot do what he or she should or would like to do. It's that familiar „but“...
But I can't because...
It is amazing how much energy and time we devote to limiting beliefs and doubts. Everyone has been hurt by someone at some point in their life, everyone has some limiting patterns ingrained from childhood. So what? What are we feeding our brains with? There is only one way - to give the same energy, time and thoughts to our potential, wishes, desires and dreams. In this way we create positive emotions and positive „imprints“ in the brain and it will gradually carve a „new furrow“ to them.
The brain is not „elastic“ but „plastic“. What we imprint on it, we strengthen. Giving your brain and heart a good diet means dealing with your dreams, your possibilities, your values. We move into the role of creator. The creator of your life. So we can create a new identity and self-worth. The one we want to have. We can be who we want to be!
I am who I want to be...
It is about where we direct our attention and what we consciously or unconsciously give power to with our thoughts, words and actions. It's like choosing a shot in photography, where we purposefully occupy our „frame of interest“, focusing our attention. This reinforces adequate neuroconnectivity in the brain. In our very thoughts, we create what happens... And because we are creators, we are responsible for our thoughts, words and actions.
I choose my thoughts, words and actions and I take responsibility for them! For they are mine...
