How Do We Retrain Our Brain
It may seem like a very hard technique and you are probably
right and the reason being, you are used to what you have always
done and if you are like most humans you tend to be with the
negative approach more than positive.
Now don't get me wrong, you do at times act normal or thinking
of the positives or just believe in yourself more than usual.
Well this is how we are supposed to think all the time, not just
part of the time. Yet we as thought beings are tending to lean
toward the negative or the not so good outcome.
Now how do we go about changing this nasty little habit that we
call negativity or negative thinking? First as with most steps
in life we must first just realize that we tend to lean toward
the negative things, look for the worst and we tend to get that
also. So we must first look inside ourselves and see what may
need some attention.
One of the most basic steps to retraining our brain is to
saturate your mind with the good clean, positive and
motivational type stuff. What I would suggest to you is Zig
Ziglars, How to stay motivated series. This is a six disc set of
three different parts, changing the picture, positive self
attitude and the goals program.
Now on a scale of one to ten I give this series a 7 on a 1 to 10
scale and if you listen as Zig tells you to and do it as many
times as he tells you to, there is no way that you can't see
positive results and also feel better about yourself and your
fellow man.
Now if you keep listening to the tapes and read positive books
of all kinds, some would be embraced by the Light by Bettie J
Eddie. Your Erroneous zones, Real Magic, There is a spiritual
solution to every problem, all three by Dr. Wayne Dyer,
Happiness is a choice by Barry Neil Kaufman.
You should also school yourself in motivational tapes and books
on money such as Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill; you were
born Rich by Bob Proctor and As a Man Thin kith by James Allen.
That should get you started on the right road and the more you
read and listen the stronger you will be!
Now that we have the frame work of getting you into the right
mind frame lets concentrate on retraining our brain. Just how do
we go about it? Well to start off, you start to watch your
emotions, see how you feel about all the things that are going
around you and before you open your mouth you think about that
thought and see how you want to respond to it. Now you need to
know when you have a negative thought or emotions, then stop
right there and say do I want to own this?
If the question is yes then let it go and move on to the next.
If the thought is negative, which a good deal will be. You stop
the thought and insert a positive thought. Negative thought I am
having a bad day and it makes me feel like a loser and a
failure. Ok if you are having a bad day that's ok, but you are
not a failure or a loser, you are simply having a bad day.
So now we know what we are looking for that first negative
thought, I suck, stop right there and insert a positive thought,
I don't suck I am just having one of those days and I am sure
it's going to get better and better. Now that we see the pattern
of negative thoughts that come, we know that we must stop right
there and to figure out what is a positive thought you can
insert.
Now at times you need to know it will be though, but once that
first negative thought comes in stop it dead in its tracks and
say a positive affirmation. This day sucks and it will never get
any better. Stop right there, this day may sink, but tonight I
am going out with sally and I know our date is going to be good!
Now that you thought of sally your mood changed to something
better and you were able to smile and the next thing you know
you were feeling better. That my friend in a nutshell is how we
Retrain our brain. Saturate it with positive tapes books and
when that negative thought comes in stop it and then insert a
positive one until you smile and then you have got it whooped.
