Thoughts.



What you focus on you enlarge.





One of the main reasons we have difficulties is that most of us are believing our thoughts! And yet thoughts are measurable with modern scientific instruments as ENERGY - not ‘truth’ but merely energy. When we know that there is a basic psychological principle which tells us that WHAT WE FOCUS ON WE ENLARGE, we realise that where we put our attention is crucial. In other words ATTENTION = POWER. So, considering that thought creates triggering of the corresponding feeling, what we choose to put our focus on is very, very important. So, are we choosing carefully - or are we believing our thoughts and being swept along with the feelings and mayhem that goes with them? The thought itself, as an energy form, doesn’t have the perspective or the wisdom to know that actually this may well be repetitive, damaging stuff. So, who’s in charge in there? Did you know that you have an objective, choosing part - a part which can be caring and careful about which thoughts you empower with your attention ... more about this in the next section!


People tend to dwell more on negative things than on good things. So the mind then becomes obsessed with negative things, with judgements, guilt and anxiety produced by thoughts about the future and so on.

The Brain.



A Pattern Matching Organ.





The brain is a ‘pattern-matching’ organ. In other words, it informs us how to behave by way of neuronal pathways or patterns which correspond to whatever situation we’re in. So, for example, once we’ve learned to drive a car by consciously going over and over the various actions required, after a while we get in the car, our senses scan the environment and up pops the corresponding pattern. We can drive without really thinking about it! Now, this pattern-matching activity is wonderful for everything we do which we like the outcome of ... but not so good when we’ve been repeating patterns which don’t serve us well - whether they are behaviour patterns / habits or thought patterns / habits. The brain isn’t trying to hurt us - it’s just doing what it’s used to doing, because that’s the way it works, and that’s what we’ve been repeating. It just needs some help!



If you think you are too small to make a difference, try sleeping with a mosquito.

Neuroplasticity.



We CAN change our brain.





Neuroscientists got very excited when it was discovered that the brain is an organ of neuroplasticity. This means that patterns or habits are changeable! Considering that they became robust through repetition, all we have to do is to stop repeating them! Does this take effort? Yes - absolutely! But only whilst the new pattern is being created and then, over a little time, the old pattern simply falls away. Consider all the habits we had as children ... did we wrestle with those habits to make them go away? No ... we simply started doing new stuff instead!
