You are What You Think All Day Long Positive self-messages are important to build better ‘brain muscles’; stopping the barrage of thoughts of self-doubt, despair and confusion. Making good judgements and taking effective actions for our body and mind move us towards a more comfortable outcome and ideal life.Remember – the mind can only think about one thing at a time so let’s shut out the invading, possibly even self-destructing, thoughts. Create good positive brain connections and break the ones which don’t serve you. This is described by the concept of Neuroplasticity. Neuroplasticity studies tell us that it takes a while to create a positive ‘habit’ which will have a real long lasting effect. The effort is worth it. Norman Doidge’s (good name!) book “The brain’s way of healing” details how people have cured conditions with positive intent, determination and clear pictures of good health over a period of time. The language of the brain is packets of energy and electrical discharge which we can influence. *CLOSE YOUR EYES NOW and take yourself to a beach, beside a still lake or on top of a mountain – wherever is good and safe for you and take 3 deep relaxing breaths breathing out into the ground*

You’re now in a better space to think of the outcome/life you wish to create Your thoughts are already creating new pathways in your brain which will benefit you throughout your life. Neuroplasticity is the ‘muscle building’ part of the brain. This will take a little time plus your commitment to make the change. *Fake it til you become it – the brain is rewiring itself* Your thoughts are creating and defining you When you think positive thoughts you are becoming a more positive person; when you think resourceful thoughts you are becoming a fully functional person. Even when you are experiencing Chronic pain eg Fibromyalgia Let me support you and be by your side What are the words which you would choose to say to yourself now? TRUST these positive words as they are creating new pathways in your brain which are aligning your brain towards surprising ways of obtaining your required outcome/life. Let me help you with Coaching. Have an Open Mind Professor Richard J Davidson founder of The Centre for Healthy minds says We’re learning we can shape our brains in more adaptive and beneficial ways by cultivating healthy habits of mind…When given a challenging situation your brain hasn’t encountered before, it can reorganise and restructure to respond to that situation. The more often your brain is exposed to that new challenge – like learning a musical instrument, for instance – the more it reorganises and makes that path more established…Our brains are constantly being shaped wittingly or unwittingly – most of the time unwittingly. Let’s practice the skills of creating what we choose KEEP SAYING THESE WORDS EVEN IF YOU DO NOT THINK THEY ARE TRUE I value myself and am saying ‘Yes’ to me. I see the perfect outcome to my project. My body is comfortable and I trust it and it trusts me I am calm and collected I am valued and respected within my relationships. I have the time and I’m on time because time is my constant companion. I am safe, I love myself. I love and accept myself as I am now warts and all I am at peace with who I am now; I trust my new inner journey When your thoughts wander treat yourself the way you would treat a puppy dog ~ ” come back, come back I know things seem more fun over there but come back to me”. Successful people say ‘YES’ to things in life more than not as they aren’t afraid to try things and fail. So today start imagining the life you want to live, start by ‘making the pictures’ you want to see, not what you’ve been programmed to do and don’t be afraid of failure. Let’s start by taking baby steps in that direction. The hard part is breaking the HABIT of those old thoughts ‘whizzing’ around our minds. Simply knowing you can do this when you are ready is reassuring and it’s a way out and forward when the time is right for you.

Remember it’s only us who can change those thoughts We are no longer the victim to others or outside circumstances. We BECOME the thoughts we focus on consciously and subconsciously. Do you need to let out the feelings which are driving the thoughts? Feeling hopeless? Allow yourself to weep a few tears or roar like a bear! Would you like to explore where this all started from? Try my ‘anxiety gremlin’ exercise Try my ‘pain gremlin’ exercise Our body language changes our mental attitude Amy Cuddy’s viral 2012 TED Talk ‘Your Body Language Shapes Who You Are’ highlights perhaps one of the most known explanations of how to tap into the embodied mind. When you pretend to be powerful, you are more likely to actually feel powerful. When you pretend your body is comfortable and exercise and stretch it will feel more free A beautiful thing about Cuddy’s research is its emphasis on the body first, so even if you cannot find that state of belief in your mind you can give it a helping hand by playing the part in your body and behaviour. ‘Power Poses’ makes us feel more confident, despite what our minds may tell us.

Those rubbish thoughts are invading again Whatever it is you are thinking about you can shut it out ~ until you can actually do something about the situation or say the things you want to say to the person concerned. *Until you can actually act on them the thoughts are completely ineffective and maybe even self-destructive.* *NOW is all that we are able to change. The past is finished and the future is yet to come.* Work with me to CREATE YOUR IDEAL OUTCOME OR HELP YOUR CHRONIC PAIN Find out more about how I support you Coaching You CALL OR TEXT ME to book your FREE 30 minute chat to find out how I may be able to help you: 07974 400575 EMAIL ME:fran@coachingforwellbeing.co.uk Dedicated Facebook page
