My Happiness Coach

Think about something, anything. What did you think of? A word? A name of an object, place, person, or thing in general?  By naming things, actions, & so forth, you give the word power.

Run.

Jump.

Red.

Watermelon.

You can create a thought, an image, & possibly even the action or thing with just a word. Think of an invention like the airplane. There were people that thought about flying & worked hard towards their goal throughout history. They used the power of thought & action to bring an idea (words) to reality.

How do I harness the power of my words?

While words have power, you need to know how to harness that power & use it. Science explains the ability for our brains to change & adapt through the concept of neuroplasticity. It is through the very nature of our brains that we can change. Our words & thoughts are the catalyst to that change.

Neuroplasticity is the idea that our brains are are capable of adapting. Through time, practice, & patience we can reprogram our thoughts. The change that our brain goes through when we are creating new pathways, is physical. It changes the structure & function of our thought processes.

How do I use my words to rewire my brain?

The key to rewiring your brain is consistency. To achieve the change that you are looking for you must reprogram your thinking. This is not easy, nor is it quick. But it is possible & very doable with some tools that I’ve learned.

If you are looking for major changes in your fixed mindset thoughts – those that tell you that you are stuck with your thought & cannot change – you must get ready to work hard. Overriding a fixed mindset way of thinking is not easy.

The Growth Mindset – We have the power to change!

By understanding that we are capable of change is the first step. We grew up with the idea that our brains are static & cannot be changed. But scientific evidence proves that those concepts are antiquated & not quite accurate.

The next step is developing a growth mindset – the idea that your thoughts & beliefs can be changed. By believing this you are allowed to open up your mind & let those changes happen.

The Power of Affirmations – Making our words work for us!

An affirmation is a phrase that you repeat to change your thought process & beliefs. It is through this phrases that we can rewire our brains to believe what we are saying.

By focusing on the positive phrases that you have decided to use as your affirmations, you will start to see more positivity in the word. This is because of your Reticular Activating System (RAS) – your brain’s internal filter. By programming your RAS to be on the lookout for evidence that your affirmation is true, you will start seeing those things.

I’ve also included a FREE Affirmation poster (below) that you can print & hang up somewhere that you can see it everyday & practice rewiring that brain!

Once you have discovered the power of your words & the growth mindset, your world will never be the same. * Add your favorite affirmation to the comment section! *
