This week we will continue our discussion on awareness.   (If you missed last week’s article you can read it here.)  We are going to take a look at the thoughts we are playing on repeat in our minds. 

The thoughts you are constantly playing through your mind become your personal reality. They become your beliefs. Over time they have formed the person you are today. The parts you like and the parts you’d like to change.

When we become aware of these thoughts that aren’t serving us, we can start to shift them. We can interrupt the pattern and create new beliefs about ourselves and shift our personal realities. 

It was once thought, when you got to adulthood, you couldn’t really change. Thanks to new understanding of neuroplasticity, we know you can change and create new beliefs, habits, etcetera. 

Starting to consciously observe the thoughts on repeat that you would like to change is the first step. Here’s an example from my own life:

My youngest son, Pierce, was born in August of last year. The newborn phase takes a lot of energy and often allows for very little sleep. I knew I didn’t want to give in to just feeling like I was in survival mode all of the time. I wanted to enjoy it and still feel present with my family. 

So I made a plan to be in charge of my thoughts. I would use hypnosis and meditation to help but also being very aware of my thoughts and rehearsing what I actually wanted in my head.

I knew if I gave in to the thoughts of “I’m exhausted” “I’m so tired” “I have no energy” that they would consume me and become my reality. 

But! If I changed the story in my mind and got up in the morning thinking “I’m well rested” “I have lots of energy” “I got all the sleep I needed” my whole mindset was different and I felt much better starting my day.  Especially after listening to this.

By using the tools I’ve learned, I was able to successfully live day to day in this mindset of restfulness. Not to say, I never slipped into other thoughts after a rough night, but I can honestly say, I made it through the newborn phase feeling pretty energized and even somewhat rested. 

This story is to share with you the power of the mind and how our thoughts become our personal reality. I share this to empower you.
