Mind Your Body: Setting Your Autopilot to Passion and Success Video 2: Rapatterning Your Hardwiring: Upgrading Your Neurologic Capacitance 1. Every thought you have is a biochemical event in your body. Your thoughts and beliefs program your cells and organs in each moment. The quality of your thoughts and beliefs set the quality of your health and your life. “The quality of your life is directly proportional to the quality of your communication.” –Tony Robbins Your physiology is set up by the sum of your thoughts, most of which are subconscious. Recreate your life by repatterning your thoughts and beliefs! This sends new signals and messages to your cells and your body and creates a different result. 2. What creates your thoughts and beliefs? You do! Your beliefs has been a mostly unconscious process up until now. “Whether a man believes he can or cannot, he will be right.” -Henry Ford Your beliefs are instilled during development by automatic download when you are a child. As a child your brain waves are in an altered state, much slower than the adult brain waves. You learn at an accelerated rate and let in new information very easily. The ideas and beliefs presented to you about the world, yourself, and life are ingrained into your neurologic system and stay that way throughout life, unless you initiate changes. 3. Tools to change your beliefs: Old Belief/New Belief Exercise Write down all of your old beliefs on the left side of the page, then replace them with a new, “life-giving” belief on the right side of the page. You will choose from these new beliefs to create a mantra to repeat in your head throughout the day. Also, write it down on an index card and place it on your bathroom mirror, your computer or other areas where you will see it daily. Begin to integrate this new belief simply by forcing it in your head to override the underlying subconscious beliefs. Use it even when your life is not yet reflecting this reality. Do this exercise here now: Old Belief New Belief Pivoting Whenever you are in a situation you do not want, instead of complaining about it, describing it, ruminating on it, or trying to solve it; simply flip it to its opposite and think about that. If you are feeling pain or illness, instead of focusing on it, think “I would love to have a comfortable, healthy body with ease and vitality.” If you are having an argument with a coworker or family member, instead of thinking “He is so annoying!” think: “I would love cooperation and respect.” Let your mind focus on what you do want, by flipping to the opposite experience whenever you find you are experiencing something you do not want. Rampage of Appreciation Write the 10 things you appreciate most about yourself and your life. Let yourself ponder and feel each one for a minimum of 15 seconds before moving on to the next. Express Your Appreciation Think of a relationship you would like to improve. Find three things you appreciate most about that person. Then circle one of them, and communicate this item to this person today. Express this appreciation for them. Post your result on the community site. Letter to Yourself Write a letter to yourself from a space of deep love, support, nurturance and appreciation. What do you most need to hear? Do you need encouragement, compassion, insight? Give it to yourself. Make this letter from any of the following: -From yourself at a later stage of your life (your 100th Birthday), where you have now succeeded in life and lived a fulfilling and inspired life. From this vantage point of having lived your life, what would you have to say to your today self? -From God/The Universe/Your Higher Self. What insight, encouragement and wisdom would this being have for you? -From your greatest lover or soul mate who you may not have ever met. What love, compassion and understanding does this person have to offer you? Imagine all the things this being would say to you, and write from that vantage point to yourself now. Use Your Memory Your mind does not know the difference between the real and the imagined! Take advantage of this and create. When you have memories, these instill beliefs very powerfully. If you remember being hurt or criticized for expressing your feelings, your entire system remembers that and responds accordingly, by refraining to express your feelings. This happens even if things have changed and you are now a great success. The mind “remembers” that incident where you concluded you were a loser and it takes immense work to change your mind about that conclusion. You can use this mechanism to your advantage. If you have memories plugged in from a future outcome, your mind takes for granted that that outcome is inevitable, and responds accordingly. That means when you have envisioned your success, have experienced it and felt it in its full dimensionality, your mind accepts that experience as “real”. When you experience anything to the contrary, where it looks like you might fail, the mind will actually bump that information out, because it already knows you are a great success. This way, you continue to experience everything as support for your story of prosperity, passion, wealth, health and success. The “Wouldn’t It Be Nice If” Game This game lets you use your mind to imagine possibility without needing to figure out the “hows.” When your mind plays this way it actually brings you into a lighter state of creativity. Your hormones balance out, your blood vessels dilate and deliver oxygen more easily, your organ function normalizes, and your heart and blood pressure come into ideal relationship. Just let go of the “how” part and imagine how nice it would be if……what you want came about easily for you. Whenever you find yourself in a contracted state, just ask this question: “Wouldn’t it be nice if__________?” Then let your mind bring you the solutions. This game taps into the creative capacity of your mind. Your mind actually has access to infinite solutions and possibilities; however, when we are in the stress state (cortisol, epinephrine, norepinephrine) our brain works in a very limited way. Just release that, and your mind will work the way it’s meant to. Unleash it’s potential with this powerful question. When you are severely contracted (feeling totally despondent) this is not a great tool. Sometimes it is challenging to let the mind go and run free. If you find that to be the case, use the “Old Belief/New Belief” exercise and “dump” your old beliefs to clear out your system. Alternatively, reach out on the community site and ask for support so you are free to use the creative power of your mind. Use Your Words Your words have creative force. The words you speak reflect the beliefs you have most firmly bought into. You may hear yourself use the same words as your mother or father, even though you do not consciously want to adopt their beliefs. Your mind absorb what it hears (television ads, friends or parents speaking, teachers and mentors speaking) and lets in these ideas at face value, even if you do not believe these. The voice your mind receives most deeply is your own. That means your own voice can repattern your mind to the beliefs you want to hold! Be careful when you speak words that shut off possibility: “That will never happen for me.” OR “I always mess this up.” OR “I can’t do that/am not good at that.” Avoid using “Absolutely Nots.” These are words such as: Always, Never, Can’t, Won’t, Have to These words limit possibility and opportunity in your life. Homework: 7-Day-Challenge: For seven days in a row, watch your words and speak only possibility. Avoid the “Absolutely Nots” and any negative statements that affirm what you do not want. If at any time you catch yourself using words that limit your possibility or opportunity, start over at day one! We guarantee that when you have successfully monitored your words and chosen to speak possibility this way, you will create amazing new possibilities and opportunities in your health and in your experience.
