"The energy of the mind is the essence of life." - Aristotle
Little Gems of Wisdom & Fun from Mary Lynn Ziemer
Mark Victor Hanson was quoted as saying, "Focused mind power is one of the strongest forces on earth." This is not simply a motivational platitude, but a profound truth. It is grounded in both scientific evidence and the real-world experiences.
The brain's plasticity allows it to adapt and rewire itself based on our focus and experiences. By consistently directing our attention, we strengthen neural connections related to whatever it is that we are consistently focusing on.
Research has also proven that when your brain receives input, it immediately goes in search of what it has been programed to think, believe, and feel. Your mind chooses how to categorize and prioritize every single piece of information it receives based on these preconceived notions of what is most important. (Of what YOU have told it is important through repetitive thought and focus.)
Your brain then strings this information together, through your own personal filter, creating your "reality." As Dr. Lisa Feldman Barrett, Neuroscientist, psychologist and author states in her book, How Emotions are Made, Secret Life of the Brain, "You construct your environment—your reality—by virtue of what sensory input from the physical environment your brain selects."
In other words... it means we are in charge of creating what shows up in our reality. Well, more specifically, our mind is in control. The beauty of this is... we have agency over our own mind, and thereby create our own reality!
Try these steps for a quicker "mind-hack" and start creating the reality you want:
1. LET GO of the past. Sometimes we think that things are happening to us because our previous experiences have imprinted themselves on us and shaped us into who we are now. However, the very best news I can share with you is that your past has absolutely nothing to do with your future! What you feel presently is actually what shapes your future. Let go of the past as it relates to your views, opinions, and perceptions about others, about yourself, or about how certain situations show up in your life. Living in the present moment, feeling only love, ensures that your future will take care of itself, in the very best way possible.
2. Change your story, change your mind. Create a new, very specific story for yourself that feels really good. Visualize it and own it! As you live this story, you will find yourself in a calm mindset.... that's where your power lies... and that's where the magic truly happens. Feeling lots of love always takes you to calm.
3. This is the key: KNOW your power and put all of your focus on it. You are the author of your own book. So fill the pages with whatever you desire! Even if you have evidence of a past behavior in someone that you would like to change (or in yourself) ... remember, you are letting that go! It's time to move forward.
4. Have a good laugh. Laughter can be truly magical. It's an amazing way to pivot into a new state of mind. Laughter has physical, medicinal qualities that will bring us back to a state of calm and joy. Try to find humor in a circumstance, have a good laugh at yourself, or find people who make you laugh. Every situation can be improved or changed completely with the good feelings of laughter and love, and little creativity.
5. Feel the love. You have been designed to live in abundance and be happy. By tapping into the power of love that you already are (it’s your default setting) you will feel that incredible feeling of love within. Here's how you do it: Become the kindest and the most loving person to yourself first, and then extend that same treatment to everyone and everything else around you.You’ll know you are living your power when you feel lots of love and realize that there is nothing to let go of anymore. The more love you feel, the happier you are and the more successful you will become. You simply and naturally know to move forward in love as you focus on what you want to create next.
Follow these steps and you'll start to change your mind and your mindset to one of calm. With this new, powerful mind, you will begin to see the magic happen right in front of you!
Have an absolutely magical week full of love, gratitude, and fun, fun, FUN!
