Welcome back to another video. My name is Aaron, and I help people
Expand their consciousness now in this video
I'm gonna be sharing with you three mind techniques that if we use will change our lives forever
Now my intention with this video is to show you
Practical tools that you can apply that can change the neurology of your brain the somatic connections of the way your brain works
to change it in a powerful way where you start to view yourself in a new way and at the same time know that your
Potential is far outside of the credit you've been giving yourself now
This might sound like a big claim to change our brains forever
but the idea under neuroscience is that we have shown that when we learn something new
When we make a new connection in our brain it changes everything about it
It changes the way that we relate to ourselves
It changes the way that our thoughts are constantly firing and that our brain at a deeper level
From moment to moment is never really the same because we are making new Submatik connections
We are thinking a little bit different. So we're already
Changing to begin with now the power in this is when we know that our brains are always changing
We can really learn how to let go of things that don't serve to let go of stories that we tell ourselves
That aren't helping us and as we do that
We then allow ourselves to be the best version of ourselves in
the present moment now the first technique has to do with
Rewriting the story that we consistently tell ourselves now when you get to the fundamental core of
Who we think we are and how we associate with everything in our life it becomes very obvious that
Everything in our life is a certain story
We have a certain story around us and our family we have a certain story around our potential
We have a story of the kind of relationships
We're in the kind of ways that we create money in abundance in our life and all of these stories are
Serving us in the way that it keeps the perpetual loop of our identity going that who we think we are and that?
Story that we tell ourselves is always going to be something that we remain consistent to now the idea behind
This is that when we rewrite our story when we start to look at ourselves in a completely new way
everything begins to change as a
Reflection now what we can do in order to do this is we can start to look at Ourselves in a completely new way
we can be grateful for all the
Experiences that we've had in our life when we start to look at ourselves in this new way our brain is changing
Because we are making new associations to our past
We are starting instead to look at our past as an accumulation of who we are now
we can start to see that as we look at Ourselves more in the present moment as
We simply decide who we prefer to be we are letting go of that past and we're allowing ourselves to
embody our potential more
So the idea behind this is that there isn't a story around every single thing in your life around every single
Person in your life and sometimes our stories keep certain behaviors intact you know I realize that certain
Relationships in my life that the stories I have around them keep a certain expectation
There they keep certain habitual patterns there and sometimes if we drop the labels
everything because a change I used to have labels around family members being a certain way or
You know having a certain level of negativity and me wanting to distance me myself from them
But what I learned is is the moment
I drop that story is the moment I allowed something new to come into my life. The more I allowed to drop that
Expectation and the less that person would actually embody the way I expected them to
so understand that what we can do is to drop the labels drop the labels around ourselves if we view ourselves as
Somebody that is shy if we view ourselves as somebody that is lazy
Those are nothing more than identities and labels that we have attached to through our story
We can change them by simply deciding to let them go knowing that they were simply on autopilot
But now that we're aware that they're on autopilot
We can let them go and we can decide to be who we prefer to be we could stop making
They're such a strong connection between our past present and future
We are who we choose to be in the present moment?
And if we drop our story by dropping the labels
Everything begins to change you can start to look at everything in a completely new way now the second mind technique has to do with
changing the
Associations that we have in our life and starting to really embody who we prefer to be now the idea behind this is
Understanding that our personality is creating our personal reality now this isn't my quote. This is a quote from Dr.
Joe dispenza and one of his books called how to break the habit of being yourself now, originally
I saw that book
I was in a sauna at the gym
And I was like somebody was reading it and I was like why would you want to break the habit of being yourself?
I thought it was a very negative thing, but then I saw it was by Dr.
Joe dispenza who was somebody that I have listened to before and ted talks and also his lectures
And I knew that okay is something I should pay attention to so I read the book and it was all about understanding
that who we are being in the present moment that the personality of who we think we are which our personality is a
Composition or compliation of how we think how we feel and how we act if we change these three things which are on autopilot?
Which are simply things that have been on recycle? We then change the whole experience that we're getting in our life now
That's creating our personal reality so what we must do is think Beyond
We must go beyond what we have priorly thought we must create new
Associations and we must think greater than our current experience now the easiest way I found to do this is through meditation
Because when we meditate and literally what the word meditation means is to become familiar
With now to become familiar with and the idea is that with meditation?
What we can begin to do is become familiar with the kind of feelings that we prefer to
Experience become familiar and have what is called Mental rehearsal?
Mental rehearsal is when we envision the best version of ourselves
when we imagine how we would act the kind of body language we would have when we imagine the kind of
Feelings that we would be embodying
Consistently what we begin to do is we begin to wire our brain in a similar way?
We begin to literally sink our brain up with who we prefer to be and as we do that
We are rewiring ourselves to become that. We are starting to become that personality
We are starting to really
And body who we prefer to be and the more that we do this the more that it becomes who we are we must think?
Beyond and in order to think Beyond we have to become familiar with
Things were not already familiar with we must go beyond those states by feeling within it and at the same time we can also take
Action this is something I like to really press upon is to do things that your normal personality wouldn't do
Maybe if you've always considered yourself a shy person
Push yourself to go out push yourself to be around people that you haven't been around before and as you begin to do that you
Begin to change your self image for who you think that you are and then everything begins to change?
So the idea is to first off to what you can do is become familiar with
Emotions that you're normally not feeling because you're normally doing the same things every day
you're normally thinking the same thoughts what you can then do is stretch Beyond it through Mental rehearsal and
Imagining you being that version feel into it make it something you become very familiar with and then at the same time
Decide to take action from that new point of view and as you begin to do that. You are wiring in that new
Personality and you're becoming who you prefer to be now the third technique has to do with something that is called
Metacognition, and I mean this in the form of observing our own thoughts, so when we normally think in the first person
It's very common to become very reactive to things that happen to us
We're thinking that this has happened to me right now
we become very responsive which can cause stress which can cause us to really get into a reactive frame versus being in a
responsive frame now the Idea behind this is that when we learn how to
Observe our thoughts we take our power back. We can then decide. What does serve us?
We can let go of what doesn't serve us and this is something that absolutely changed my life
I remember that I was meditating and I was learning meditation
This is like 2 or 3 days into it
And I was so focused on controlling my mind on not thinking the negative thoughts
well
the thing is is the more that I would think about not thinking negative thoughts the more those negative thoughts would come in the
Or that I would actually resist it and the resistance would build within
What I decided to do and I read this somewhere was to observe the thoughts and to allow them to be there
That was the game changer. I allowed the thoughts to be there
I observed them and as I observed them the negative charge went away the resistance went away and the Paradox is
Eventually the overthinking went away and the thoughts went away altogether. I created space within me
What happened was is as I felt into that eventually it became a feeling that I really enjoyed
I love the feeling of meditation
That's why I do it for the first 10 or 15 minutes every day for the last five or six years now
It's something that's really changed because I've been able to respond rather than react to the things that happen in my life and then
Everything in life becomes a choice
Do I choose to have this habit do I choose to act in this way and when we start to?
Associate who we are being as a choice
That's where the true power begins, and that's where we have the choice over our own state of being this technique
I think is one of the most simple
But yet
Powerful ideas that you can apply in your life that will change
everything about you because as you observe your thoughts as you allow them to be there you gained the
metacognition for knowing how you think and you gain the ability to respond rather than react, so
Remember that the three mind techniques are simple
They simply involve understanding that our story is running our life
Experience that when we rewrite our story we start to look at ourselves in a completely new way
We can drop the labels that are holding certain expectations in place that are holding certain behaviors in place
Then secondly we can go beyond our current limitations
We can go beyond the current thoughts the current level of our
Personality by simply feeling into the emotions that we would feel if we were in that reality now
Understanding that as we take action and doing things we're not comfortable with we become more familiar with it
And that becomes a part of who we are that's where we create true opportunities
And then thirdly realizing that as we become aware of what we're thinking and we learn to observe rather than react
Everything will begin to change
