Helping others become even better versions of themselves
Often, I have heard it and said it myself ‘if we don’t do ‘x’, then ‘y’ will happen’.
It is always negative and amazingly, we always seem to know the outcome before it’s happened!!
Instead, we could choose to focus on ‘if we do ‘b’, then ‘a’ might happen’.
It’s so much more positive and the excitement is not knowing the outcome – ‘might’ rather than ‘will’. You never know, the outcome could be better than we imagined.
We were told until more recently, that by the time we were adults, that’s it, the brain is set in cement and we can’t change.
‘Leopards can’t change their spots’. Really?
Convenient for the system, as it avoids too much curiosity.
The fact is you can reprogramme the brain and you can change almost everything. It is question of choice.
We can retrain the brain by what we think, imagining positive futures where we achieve our goals and dreams stops the brain from blocking progress, which happens when we are more pessimistic about likely outcomes.
What’s the plan for this one life you have? We get this one shot at it? What will you programme your brain to do?
