CONSCIOUS HAPPINESS IN LIFE - STEP TWO /WEEK TWO

YOU CAN TRAIN YOUR BRAIN TO BE ADDICTED TO JOY AND HAPPINESS J IT’S EASY J There is an interesting characteristic to the human brain:  it easily gets used to particular types of chemicals being released while we are experiencing certain types of emotions. The brain then gets hooked on those chemicals, and wants to feed on them, again and again. And so, the brain creates neuro-paths for the chemicals it is used to. You can imagine those neuro-paths as paths leading through a lawn. The more often we use such paths, the deeper and wider they are. Similarly, the more often we think certain thoughts, and feel emotions related to them – the stronger become the neuro-paths in our brain, while those we don’t use – wither away. Always hungry for more, our addictive brain uses our subconscious to create circumstances in our life in which we will produce more of the chemicals it craves.
Our brain does not care whether we are happy with those circumstances or not, it just wants to get its feed.

IT IS NOT OUR BRAIN BUT OUR CONSCIOUSNESS THAT DECIDES WHETHER WE ARE HAPPY OR NOT. OUR BRAIN IS MERELY ITS TOOL J

We already remember from Einstein, Tesla, Quantum Physics, the 8 Universal Laws and ancient mystics, philosophers and belief systems – that everything is Energy (from our thoughts, the cells of our bodies, all of nature, stars to planets, galaxies and everything else in the Universe). We also know that everything, being a part of Energy – vibrates.

According to 8 Universal Laws for Energy – the frequencies of vibrations of each our thought or deed, affect our lives, creating our “reality”.

The brain works like a powerful generator sending out our thoughts like radio waves – of a particular frequency of their vibrations.

It is important to remember that all vibrations have cumulative tendencies. They work like magnets, and they attract vibrations with similar frequencies.

Like attracts like J

WITH NO EXCEPTIONS, OUR THOUGHTS AND ACTIONS ATTRACT PEOPLE AND CIRCUMSTANCES IN OUR LIFE TO MATCH THE QUALITY OF OUR OWN VIBRATIONS.

Think for instance of what you and your friends might have in common, whether it is a character trait, or shared interests. Think also of the circumstances in your life, and how they match what you, deep down, think of yourself and the world you live in.

CIRCUMSTANCES DON’T MAKE US. WE CREATE THE CIRCUMSTANCES ACCORDING TO WHAT WE BELIEVE, THINK AND FEEL.

The good news is, that when we stop experiencing certain type of thoughts and emotions, there is no further need for the related chemicals, and so the neuro-paths wither away. Our brain will create new paths, to accommodate the new chemicals, since whatever state we keep repeating, becomes the new habit for our brain.

There is a simple method for training your brain to be addicted to joy and happiness J

STEP TWO /WEEK TWO:

Focus your thoughts on images, memories, ideas that make you feel happy: those are the “happy coins” that you store in your “bank of happy investments”- containing uplifting, joyous memories.
Whenever sad or angry thoughts begin to occupy your Mind, say to yourself: “These are just thoughts. And thoughts can be changed”.
Then reach for one of your “happy coins”, and enjoy it – purposely focusing on the memory it brings to your Mind J
Whenever we think back to those joyous memories, the “happy coins” elevate our mood, give us confidence and let us trust that we live in a safe, friendly world.
Repeat this procedure for six weeks. That’s the time needed for creating new neuro-paths in our brain. It also takes six weeks for the old, unwanted neuro-paths to wither away.

Useful affirmation for week two:

“My positive thoughts attract positive outcomes. My good feeling attracts positive people. My open and joyous Heart helps me to attract positive events in my life. I rejoice in positive attitude. I rejoice in creating more positive outcomes in my life.” – from the book “365 (+1) Affirmations to Create a Great Life” by Johanna Kern.

And before all:

Relax. All is good. All is just the way it is supposed to be J
