Mind Your Body: Setting Your Autopilot to Passion and Success Video 3: Mental Detox: Free Your Body, Flush Your Brain, Feed Your Mind 1. Mental toxicity: Flush Out the Toxins The negative and life-limiting influences you are immersed in, limit your ability to make change in your life. You must unplug from this old information AND add in the information that influences that support you. This is as essential as the food you eat. What you put into your mind (media: TV, magazines, people around you, books you read) have a massive impact on what you experience in life. Examples of toxic mental information: gossip, complaining by those around you, tv shows that profile dramatic and abusive relationships, magazines with airbrushed photos of women, music lyrics that are hostile or violent…..etc. This information is entering your subconscious mind and patterning the way you think, feel and behave. You are mostly unaware of the powerful influence this has on our outlook, perspective and ideas, however you will see the result of this reflected in your experience of your health, work, money and relationships. Developing habits to protect your mind from toxic information will allow you to resonate with higher levels of information because you will not continue to be brought down by the lower frequency information of fear, drama and violence. These are not only not bringing any value to your life (if there is something you really do need to know, you will hear about it anyway) but they are toxifying your world. Cut them out. 2. How we learn and pattern our beliefs Developing children are in a slower brain wave state called “delta” brain waves, where we very rapidly learn and incorporate new information, without consciously processing it first. That means there is no filter to choose whether we adopt this new idea, belief or way of being; it is automatically downloaded. As adults, we are mostly in “beta” brain waves, which are must faster. This is an analytic pattern of brain waves, where we call upon information we’ve learned, evaluate and analyze. In this faster brain wave state, we are unable to repattern the foundation of our beliefs, which were laid down in the slower brain wave state. This is why meditation is helpful. In meditation we bring the brain into a slower brain wave pattern called “alpha” brain waves, where the old information can be reformatted to a healthier belief system. Since our beliefs were instilled while we were in delta, a very slow brain wave state, they are unconscious, and so for the most part, we are unaware of our personal beliefs. Since the mind is now functioning in a much faster brain wave pattern, beta, it is difficult to make changes, because our fast minds are rapidly creating results that keep those beliefs in place. In order to change our beliefs, and thus, change our experience, we must change the information our brain is processing and taking in. This part of the program is meant to remove the toxic information that is supporting old beliefs that are not supporting you, as well as to add supportive and nurturing information in that lets your mind create the life you truly want. You will begin new habits that continue to support this from here forward. 3. Feeding Your Mind: Your association and the Mastermind Your life will reflect the average of the five people you spend the most time with. Your wealth, health, happiness are all reflected in the people you surround yourself with. Napoleon Hill: “I know of Plug in powerful association of a Mastermind of people who are at the frequency where you would like to be. Invite the world’s greatest mentors into your bathroom Listening to the teachings of people like Deepak Chopra, Wayne Dyer, Mary Morrissey, The Thrive Doctors! all have online programs for free on YouTube or other platforms that you can listen to while brushing your teeth, or going about your daily activities. This patterns your mind to think in a different way even without making any other changes to begin. Begin to add something in daily that feeds your mind with this higher level information and awareness. Use the power of your own voice Your mind takes you to be the world’s expert on everything. Whatever you say and believe, you are right! Use this to your advantage. When you use your voice to plug in affirming and empowering words and phrases, these feed your brain in powerful ways, and your mind will work to prove that you are correct. See your inspiring life The images you see cause your mind to generate certain chemicals that impact every cell in your body. When you see images that are inspiring and uplifting, your mind causes chemicals to be secreted that improve organ function, reverse disease, decrease pain sensation, and increase your energy levels. This also changes the messaging in your entire nervous system, improving performance and tonality in ways that change the results you get in life. Cut out images that appeal to you. They may be beautiful places or people having fun, or they may just be swatches of colors you love or abstract shapes. You can put these together on a vision board, that you look at every day while you brush your teeth, or just individual images you tape to your bathroom mirror or your computer. Put these images where you will easily see them every day. They are automatically inputting information into your mind. Read inspiring books, 10 pages a day Feed your mind regularly with inspired thought through reading. Napoleon Hill’s “Think and Grow Rich,” and Esther Hicks book: “Ask and It Is Given” reveal truths your body knows, but has been trained to ignore. Reading these books brings you into an inspired state of resonating with these truths. There are many books we recommend and love to read. (*See list at end of this worksheet.) Even if you do not feel inspired to do this, FORCE yourself to read just ten pages a day of this type of information. Search until you find a book that resonates for you and is fun and inspiring. We guarantee this will change your mind and add massive value to your life. Homework: A. Go on a “Media Diet” For the remainder of this course (and if it feels right, for the remainder of your life) refrain from watching the news, reading the newspaper, engaging in office banter and gossip, and perusing mainstream magazines. If you fear you will miss something, or be “out of touch” just let that go. You have been brainwashed to think that this information is essential to your functioning in the world, and we are here to tell you that this is not true. Not only is this information not serving you in any way, but it literally toxifies your mind and is powerfully detrimental to you living the life you really want. Reach out on the community site for support! There may be questions about this, and it’s important to get clear so that you can choose consciously what you want to put into your mind. B. “Relationship Makeover” Consider the relationships you are currently engaging in. Ask yourself whether this relationship, as it is, is serving your personal evolution and living your ideal life. Are there ways you could relate differently with this person? Is this a person you want to continue relating with? Allow yourself to get clear on what relationships are serving you and which are detrimental. Then, consider how you might enhance the relationships that serve you, and release those that are detrimental to your personal success. Perhaps you notice that spending time alone instead of engaging in toxicity would be a wiser choice right now. You may begin to see ways you can change your existing relationships by inviting others to support you in your personal evolution. Introduce them to these ideas and ask if they would also be interested in open, authentic conversations instead of those that judge and evaluate people and situations. If you are experiencing judgment and criticism of others, or frequent gossip and sarcasm, this is a reflection of the judgment and criticism you are choosing (unconsciously) to hold yourself. Be willing to release this inside and out, by changing your habits and relationships now. Find compassion for others and for yourself and leave behind your old ways of being and relating. 4. Flush Your Body: Feel Your Emotions In this program, you will become adept at feeling your emotions. Most often we run from our emotions, so that even if we’re used to feeling depressed, angry or anxious all the time, what we’re often doing is avoiding feeling these emotions, instead of just feeling them fully. In this program, you will be trained to feel your emotions fully; let them wash over you and move out. Emotions actually live in the physical body. Memories and beliefs keep those motions in place and alive in the body. The unexpressed emotion creates a physical result and motivates your actions and behaviors. When we experience these emotions fully, feeling them deeply and completely, we repattern the memory of them and can release the memory. In this way, the memory no longer creates an emotional response and motivates your behavior. You become free to use that energy to create the life you want Be sure to share on the community site! Ask whatever questions have come up for you! We look forward to hearing about your results and serving you in any way we may!
