Do you want to break free?

I may be showing my age here but the title brings memories of Queen (rock band) flooding back however that isn't what I'm here to talk about sorry. Maybe another day.

Self limiting beliefs and thoughts hold you back whether it be in a physical, mental or even spiritual sense. The more we repeat an action or a thought the more the body or mind learns and remembers how to carry it out. So taking that on board if you are continuously thinking negative, lack or scarcity then this is what your mindset is always going to replay. And unfortunately this is always going to be replayed as it’s already been played so many times it’s going to be on auto pilot in your mind.

So whenever you get put under pressure and you could either take the positive route or the negative route autopilot will kick in and negativity is back without you even knowing about it. Dr Howard Cameron an a natural health scientist and chiropractor says try brushing teeth with your non dominant hand and see how foreign and difficult the task feels. Same goes with the mind, try thinking positive or upbeat about a particular situation and see how hard it is to maintain (if you have negative tendencies already). But as stated earlier the more you can reinforce and stick to positive and upbeat thinking then the more it becomes part of your normal thought processes.

A great way to start the process is by
  1. Dreaming about a real life situation that you would like to be a positive experience for you.
  2. Imagine accurate images of this situation.
  3. Extract the feeling or emotion from this image and
  4. Act on this feeling strongly and remember the stronger the image and the emotion the stronger the action
