Day 105 of 365 - Why is Change So Hard?
Further to yesterday's post, why do we find changing our habits or making changes in life so hard? One big factor is, that the way we think, and what we focus upon has a direct influence on our reality. We spend a lot of time obsessing about our problems and what we don't want, instead of what we do want.
I don't think it's too much of a stretch for us to realize that the way we think can shape our destiny. We are much more than victims of our circumstances. It's part of our evolution as humans to understand this. This multi-layered brain we have has given us that capacity.
The concepts I am sharing here are from the book I referred to in yesterday's post, Breaking the Habit of Being Yourself by Dr. Joe Dispenza.
Our intentions, thoughts and feelings affect both our present and our future. How we think and feel creates a state of being and, that in turn has effects on our external world. Heart and mind working together produces a better result than thought alone. Intention coupled with positive feeling has been found in experiments to indicate that.
If we want to change some aspect of our lives we need to think, feel and act in new ways. Otherwise we just keep repeating our habitual patterns. As long as we stay the same, we can't expect a new outcome.
Thoughts are the language of the brain and feelings are the language of the body. When they are aligned, or coherent, we are sending out a strong signal. Alternatively, if our mind is thinking one thing, albeit positive, but our body is feeling negatively, we are sending a mixed message, an unclear signal of what we want to bring into being.
Then, to take it a step further, try not to control a specific outcome. Hold a clear intention of what you want but let life bring it to you in whatever way is right for you. Focus instead on the way you think and feel about something instead of the concrete outcome you want. If we are focused mainly on the result we want, we are letting that control our thinking and feeling.
"The new model of reality challenges us, as quantum creators, to change something within us-in mind and body, in our thoughts and feelings- before we can experience the physical evidence with our senses."
These may seem like 'woo-woo' concepts which contradict how we have mostly been entrained to live and think in a concrete cause and effect way. But, shifting to that inside/out approach has been found to produce amazing results.
And yes, it does take effort and practice to create this positive coherence of thinking and feeling, but it is possible. In fact, we can probably all remember some very positive life experience which with some searching, we could trace to occurring in conjunction with such positive thoughts and feelings. It may have felt like some miracle or gift that came to us 'out of the blue'.
What Dr. Dispenza's teaching is conveying, is that we can increase the likelihood of such desirable events, and not just wait for them to randomly happen to us. If you are interested in learning more about his approach, his book is available in libraries and there are many video interviews on YouTube.
