When we consider this, we realise that we really can change the outcomes of our lives by
replacing the negative thoughts and limiting self beliefs with more positive alternatives.
Simply then :
· As each separate thought travels down its own dendrite, then positive dendrites can be
encouraged to thicken.
· Eliminating negative thoughts allows the negative dendrite to wither from misuse.
· So the result can be that it becomes easier and easier to live life with a positive outlook
once these initial changes have been achieved.
What better incentive to cleaning up our self talk, our inner critical voices, allowing no room for
limiting beliefs and maximising our likelihood of achieving, through our thoughts, beliefs and
behaviour the happy and fulfilled life we are all seeking.
We become what we think about most of the time. We are what we think.
Think of someone you love deeply. Your warm and
loving thoughts are created in the cell body and
then pass outward along a dendrite, connecting
with other dendrites. As the electrical “charge” of
your thought reaches the dendrite of an adjoining
cell, a “spark” is created in the brain called a
synapse as illustrated in the image below.
The journey of thought can be followed in the
diagram above. The more associated
thoughts you have, the more adjoining cells
are energised by that thought.
Journey of thought and the perception cycle
Your thoughts of happiness are wonderfully
powerful electrical signals, that create so
many more associated powerful thoughts.
It doesn’t take the brain of Einstein to see,
that with conscious effort, negative thoughts
can be replaced with happier, more positive
ones, that will keep firing off, cell to cell.
Remember the “Perception Cycle?”.
By replacing those erroneous, out-of-date or
wrong beliefs, with constructive, positive and happier ones, we set off a chain of events, started
by your new perceptions. Your perception becomes a conscious positive thought travelling
along dendrites in the brain, connecting to cells in your “middle brain”, where happy emotions
and feelings are created.
