You can rewire your brain, change how you think and perceive life, and become in love with it by consciously choosing how you want to think.
The moment you are born, your conscious mind isn’t formed yet, while the subconscious mind is fully open. Therefore, whatever you hear, see, experience, and perceive from that point gets stored in your subconscious.
That’s where your mood, attitude, and personality form and then, often unconsciously, direct your life to this point.
However, many things you learn and adapt to aren’t serving you. Therefore, to change the way you think and feel, you must learn to rewire your brain.
What do I mean by rewiring?
When you think a thought, something called a “neuropathway” is formed in your brain. The more you repeat this thought or behavior, the more this neuropathway strengthens.
But what if you are repeating negative or self-defeating thoughts and behaviors?
We can refer to this as an unconscious process of thinking.
The good news is that we can make it a conscious one. Instead of letting your thoughts run on autopilot, you can rewire your brain by consciously choosing what you want to think.
As Carl Jung said, “Until you make unconscious conscious, it will direct your life, and you will call it fate.”
Life isn’t based on fate or some prewritten destiny that’s out of your hands. By consciously choosing who you want to be, and how you want to live and then actively working towards that goal - you can craft your destiny.
