Negative thinking can cloud our perception of reality, making us focus on the problems rather than solutions. By reshaping our thought life, we can overcome negative thinking and unlock a path toward positivity, peace, and success.
In our walk of life, we are bound to face challenges, but in the midst of all the adversities, God promises us victory to stand tall. In every encounter that you make, you either give life or drain life out of it. Words are everything to life. So we have to be mindful of the words we utter. Just because you are not who you thought you would be in life doesn’t mean you should bring upon yourself curses with the words you speak out.
The Relationship Between the Brain and the Mind
The brain and the mind obviously have an intimate relationship, but the mind is different: it is a collection of thoughts, patterns, perceptions, beliefs, memories, and attitudes. Based on my research concerning how the brain and the mind work, the human brain functions on “thought patterns,” which are nothing but “programming” that has been indented into its neural network.
You can also observe a definite “pattern” in some of the thoughts that are produced in the brain. For example, your brain may be presently in the habit of creating a pattern of negative thinking, which seems to give a negative flavour/connotation to all its interpretations. In this case, your brain is subconsciously in the habit of looking at reality negatively, and at the root of all its negative thinking is a subconscious belief in some “core” negative thoughts.
How Subconscious Patterns Work
You must understand that subconscious patterns are always running in “auto” mode in the brain because, at some point, you took these patterns to be the truth of your life and invested belief in them to the point where they became “ingrained” patterns.
When you think a thought long enough, it automatically goes into “auto” mode because the neural pathways for this thought become strongly embedded in the neural network of your brain. For example, when you learn to drive a car, it’s a very conscious effort initially, but after a few months, the patterns become so embedded in the brain that the whole action of driving becomes subconscious or “auto” mode.
Identifying and Overcoming Negative Thoughts
Certain negative thoughts are running in “auto” mode in your brain, and these negative thoughts are usually the root cause of many negative perceptions and interpretations that you come up with in your daily life. Unless you identify and let go of belief in these subconscious negative thoughts, you will constantly be struggling with the negativity in your brain.
A simple awareness of the subconscious negative patterns is enough to start becoming free of them.
5 Things to Tell Yourself Each Day
- Today will be my day.
- I am the Best Me there is.
- I know that I’m a winner.
- I can do it, I know I can.
- God will always be with me.
The Power of Your Words
Last but not least, I encourage you to be extremely careful about what you say because everything you tell yourself benefits you. Oh, yes! How about telling yourself every single day that you are a victor, an overcomer, and a conqueror? It does work.
Take charge of your life, let everything that comes out of your mouth give life to the dead, and above all, make sure that everything you say is true and sincere. Live a happy life and enjoy the words you say.
Conclusion
In conclusion, shaping your thought life is a powerful practice that can transform your entire reality. By becoming more mindful of the thoughts and words you speak, you take control of your mind and your life. With positive self-talk, awareness of subconscious patterns, and the strength to overcome negativity, you can cultivate a life filled with peace, success, and victory. Remember, the mind is a tool that works for you, and when you align it with positivity and faith, great things will unfold.
