Do you know the saying: “control your thoughts, fhan they become your words, control your words, than they become your actions, control your actions, than they become your destiny?
Who wants to have an unfortunate fate? “But it all starts with thoughts. That makes them not harmless and unimportant to simply let them drift.
Thoughts are especially powerful when our minds want to take a nap, especially at night. We wake up and are at their mercy.
Then a harmless incident becomes a threatening scenario, a fleeting remark from a neighbor becomes a powerful prophecy.
There’s only one thing that helps here: trying to slow things down with a decisive “Stop.”
Things look better during the day – but only seemingly. Because these thought visitors can spoil our mood. Or improve it.
The good news is, it’s in our hands.
Studies show that inner affirmations have enormous power and influence our emotions. However, dominating them requires practice and consistent control of our thoughts.
There’s no such thing as thoughtless.
The brain works like a perpetual motion machine. Even when we think we’re relaxing on the beach, gazing into the distance. Admittedly, in a very pleasant situation. But the brain is by no means relaxing here!
People have sometimes even come up with magnificent discoveries or formative works during such beach visits.
The key is to educate our brain, like a child who wants to do whatever it wants. But how?
Many thoughts are the product of the beliefs we’ve acquired over the course of our lives:
“It’s too late anyway!”, “I’ll never be able to do that!”, “I’m not pretty enough!”, “I’m not good enough!”
Who hasn’t heard these phrases suddenly pop into our heads? It’s important to question and correct these thoughts, even if they seem true at first glance.
The truth is what our brain produces.
Here are the 6 parenting approaches for your brain:
1. Ban the words “not” or “can’t” from your brain: the sentence “I can’t do it” becomes “I’ll manage it.” the sentence “I don’t want to do it” becomes “I want to do something differently.”
2. Motivate your brain in this direction: think: “I want to do this or that on topic X today!” before it does.
3. Let your brain think empowering phrases like “I am strong enough!”, “I am beautiful enough!”, “I’ve accomplished a lot, I can do this too!” It’s best to say these phrases out loud in front of a mirror.
4. If your brain makes itself known at night, force it to calm down with short commands like “Stop” or “Later.”
5. Negative scenarios should be postponed until daytime, questioned, and resolved only in the light of day.
6. Sometimes it helps to simply say to your brain lovingly: “Dear brain, I’ve let go of that a long time ago!”
Voilá!
