All of us have had dreams during some part of our life. Some have been silly, but still fun and others were serious but we just didn't manage to pull them off. There's a saying that goes whom the gods would make great, they first make to suffer! I think that this is profound as we look to change how we think about the world. I 've heard it said that no one is bigger than their greatest think. Obviously it is not the ordinary "think" but the deepest level ordering of our mind/belief systems (non-religious). The more our five-senses are involved with the ideas we have the more likely they are to succeed because we think-feel them (go back to earlier posts to see why this is important). I say this because the self-help market is LOADED with "Easy ways to master yourself" type programs and unfortunately this is not the case. The more deeply embedded a thought-habit is, the "harder" it will be to change as there's is a whole mind-body shift that happens. There are withdrawal symptoms as well because the very biochemical systems will have to change to adopt the new ways of being! Nothing we do/feel/think happens in a vacuum as our entire being is, well, connected.
So this week I am going to write down the biggest obstacle in Mind and read aloud the desired outcome as I do it, you too! Then post in your own handwriting your "goal" and touch the paper, read aloud, and then visualize yourself as the "new" you. Put it around the house in several places so that wherever you go you can take a second to do an affirmation. We are going to do this for 21 days as the best research I can find says that a new habit is firmly ingrained biochemically after that time and after that is the refining of the neuropathways and chemical structure of the cells with the new receptors. It will be uncomfortable at first because when we change habits the old neuro-net/cell receptors aren't going to get their "fix" of chemicals from the old thought-habits. If you have ever gave up an addiction you know how that feels...oh well, we gotta do it :-)! Now we aren't going to become totally enlightened after this but the more we do this, the closer we get. Then we won't be in the way of the dreams and goals we have for ourselves, but will instead be in The Way!
have a great week and feel free to email me with any comments/questions as I love to discuss and work on this with other Seekers.
