         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.
