Our minds cannot distinguish between what is real or what is
made up. We spend much of our time telling ourselves what we believe is
real. Sometimes we spend much of our time living a MSU life.
That is a world of Making Stuff Up. We fool ourselves all the
time. It's how we are wired. We see something and come to a
conclusion based on our own experiences. Many times, our experiences
taint our thoughts and we make up what we believe to be true. It’s like the
ultimate April Fool’s joke except we do it every day!
Think about it. You are driving down the road, it is just starting to get dark, but it is still clear out. You are a little behind (as usual) and pushing the speed limit just a little bit. You are cruising along and all of a sudden you see a car coming up on you from behind and then the blue and red lights pop on and it starts to speed up and gain ground on you. At that instant what is happening to your mind, what are you thinking? Probably, crap, I'm going to get a ticket. Now take an inventory on how your body is reacting. Is your blood pressure up? Is your stomach in a knot? Are you sweating?
Answer... YES!! Your brain is telling you that you are getting pulled over and probably going to get a speeding ticket. Back to real time... While all that is going on the police car is gaining on you and comes up behind you, then suddenly swerves into the left hand lane and blows right by lights and siren blaring. WHEW!!! That was close.
Now think about it. were you really getting pulled over? NO! did you think you were? YES! did you react physiologically as if you were getting pulled over? YES! Why? Because your brain knows only what we tell it. We decide what is real. So how can this help you be more positive?
Easy. tell yourself good things, things that will empower you. Things that will make you believe good will happen. You will get that deal, you will win that game, you will love stronger and deeper, you can get that promotion.
Intention is so powerful. If you watch the video you will see how Jessica tells herself she loves everything about her life. http://youtu.be/qR3rK0kZFkg
She is happy, she is positive and she is looking at the good she has rather than the things she doesn't. What would change for you if you focused on the good in your life? The great things you do have rather than what is missing and is crappy? Tell yourself it will all work out for the best and I guarantee it will turn out much better than if you whine about it, AND the people around you will thank you too.
Quit playing your daily April Fool’s joke on yourself and start thing positive and see what happens.
