Lesson 19: Change and Acceptance (Part 2)

This post is my thoughts on a lesson from the Beyond Freedom home study course for personal growth and life achievement. This course has been instrumental in transforming my life from stress-full to stress-FREE.

These lessons are always so timely, I really should get over being amazed by it.

I just got back from the Bahamas, where I had the opportunity to listen to brain scientist Dr. Joe Dispenza talk about the chemical, neurological processes that happen when we think, when we learn new things, and when we remember. It was absolutely fascinating.

Add to that my understanding from Jill Bolte Taylor about how the brain works, my reading of Dr. Frank Lawlis' The Stress Answer (and seeing him on the Dr. Phil show), and I feel like I could give a lecture! In fact, I'm going to be talking about many of these things in my Talkcast tonight.

Though I will be talking more specifics tonight, what I have learned is that ultimately the answer to true change is to learn how to harness your brain power.

There is so much information swirling around in our heads at any given time that it is hard to sift through it--and usually we settle on thoughts we have had before--whether they are beneficial to us or not. And because we keep thinking the same thoughts, we keep reliving the same things over and over in our lives.

But our minds are much more powerful and we could use them for far greater things. If we focus that brain power on what we WANT (our vision of the future), and we really FEEL what it is like to have it (rather than thinking about how great it would be while at the same time despairing that we don't have it), then our bodies will become accustomed to that feeling, and the entire Universe will conspire to deliver to us what has become so real and vivid in our minds.

As I so recently learned, I must practice what I preach. I intend to do some mental rehearsal (Dr. Joe's preferred term over visualization because it's more specific) every night for the next 27 days. I can wait to see what I create in my life! :o)

P.S. This lesson also includes a powerful 5-step exercise. I'll have to do that tomorrow.
