Episode 092: You Get What You Think About

Becky and Diana explore the idea that our thoughts create our reality.  Our brains automatically search for memories that validate our thoughts. We have to train our brains to focus on what we really want. The Reticular Activating System in our brain picks and chooses what we notice. Leaders who use fear and propaganda have all used attention getting techniques like identifying people as "other" to influence how citizens think about what's happening around them. The energy we put behind a thought helps manifest the thought. When we settle for what we don't want, there is no room for what we do want. When we decide not to settle, the world opens up to show us the possibilities. Our verbal and body language convey what we are really thinking. We can shift our energy by creating energy transition rituals using sensory association (listening to favorite music, drinking a favorite beverage, wearing our favorite clothes, etc.) before we enter situations where we need to present our best selves. We need to embrace everything that interests us.
