Modern science tells us that on a sub-atomic level, nothing is solid. That the entire universe is really one big web of vibrating “energy stew.” Moderrn quantum science and field theory now tells us that everything in the physical world is really just information contained in tiny packets of vibrating energy.
And we are also being told that on a sub-atomic level, we too are vibrating fields of energy. That in spite of appearances … our bones, muscles, nerves, hair and skin are not really “solid” at all.
We don’t see the world as energy because it vibrates too fast (at the speed of light) for our senses. But if we could see and process information at the speed of light, we would be able to see right into the vibrating “quantum energy stew.”
Think about the implications. This is an outrageously powerful creative act. Imagine for a moment what you can do with such awesome creative power.
The Amazing Power of Your Brain
Sometimes it’s easy to overlook the truly amazing the capacity of your brain.
In terms of power and intricacy, it leaves the greatest computer in the dust. Your brain is capable of processing an estimated 30 billion bits of information each second.
You have billions of billion neurons – the nerve cells responsible for conducting information throughout the brain. Some of them are as long as several meters or more. And think about this: Each of those tiny neurons is actually a self-contained computer with the capability of processing an estimated one million bits of information.
This gets even more amazing when you consider that although each neuron can act independently, your brain contains an estimated 100,000 miles of neural fibers as your neurons reach out to communicate with each other.
Plus... just one single neuron can simultaneously send a signal to hundreds of thousands of other neurons in less than 20 milliseconds – one tenth of the time it takes for you to blink.
The Big Question
So here’s the big question. With all this miraculous mental processing power, why aren’t we all happy, successful peak performers? And why can’t we just accomplish every goal we set our to accomplish – or at least overcome our tendency to procrastinate, think limiting thoughts, and buy into negativity?
Why can’t we?
Here’s why: As children we were programmed with the beliefs of our parents, our siblings, our teachers, our friends, our churches, and our society. We were taught to believe we have certain limits.
Most of us live with imaginary “limitations” leading all the way back into our childhood. Here’s why: Over time these “externally programmed limits” became habitual thought patterns.
Today those old thought patterns are securely held in actual physical neural pathways in your brain. And since physical neural networks cannot be reasoned with, no amount of “logical” thought will override them. This is the problem classical psychotherapy comes up against.
How Your Brain Works
All of your beliefs, your habits, everything making up your mental reality, are contained in physical neural-pathways. Each time you think a thought, it is communicated along these physical pathways via tiny electro-chemical messages.
The first time you have an experience or learn something new, chances are a new pathway is created. Then the next time you have that experience, your brain will search to see if your have experienced it before. If you have, it will follow the same pathway.
Then each time you again have that experience, or think that thought, the neural pathways becomes more physically complex and durable. This is how a thought or action becomes a habit – and habits are more like a cemented highway than a footpath.
A Personal Challenge
You cannot rationally “think” these physical networks away. That’s why it is so hard to break a habit. Your habits are “hard wired” into your brain as actual physical connections.
But there are two ways you can change an old neural pathway:
- Over a period of time you can gradually cause it to weaken and atrophy by not indulging in the associated behavior, thought or emotion. OR
- You can override the old pathway by wiring a new behavior, thought pattern or emotion over the old.
The first technique is very close to impossible, since the very nature of habits is to be habitual! But … your brain IS capable of overriding an old behavior pattern if approached properly.
The secret is intense desire, backed by FOCUS and meaningful repetition.
What is there (really?) that prevents you from doing this right now … today? If you’re ready to make some serious improvements in your life, Dr Jill’s 10-Minute Solution “Power of Focus” program will get you there – faster! Click here to check it out.
