“Whether you think you can, or you think you can’t – you’re right,” - Henry Ford
Our thoughts shape who we are, how we behave, who we become. Change the thoughts you have about yourself and the world and your future changes.
How? Our R.A.S.
Our Reticular Activating System is this magical part of the brain that stops us from going crazy by keeping the main thing we are focused on, the main thing. I call the RAS our best supportive pal that agrees with everything we have ever said and thought. He’s that friend that goes out of their way to prove YOU are right. He makes sure you have the information you need, even if it takes a while to fetch it. Ever had a name of something you wanted to say, right there on the tip of your tongue, but could not remember, and then several hours later you are doing something else and the name suddenly comes to your mind? – that’s our RAS being our best pal behind the scenes. Whatever we are looking for, consciously or subconsciously, our RAS is on the lookout for proof that we are right. However, the RAS wants us to be so right, all of the time, he can be extremely dangerous! Why? 👀
If we think we are the best in the world, our RAS will look and listen out for every example around us to prove that to be true. Likewise, if we think we are useless, ugly, unloved, aggressive, stupid, our RAS will make sure we are right!! BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU TELL YOURSELF AND OTHERS!! 🗣
