Today I want to share with you this information that, in addition to being very interesting, can transform your life if you put what you have learned into practice. I know that many times it is difficult to make changes due to habits that are already so ingrained, so memorized that we do it in automatically and without thinking.
That is why it is so important to pause in our lives, observe our results and ask ourselves, what should we do differently if we want better results in our lives? And you may be wondering what our thoughts have to do with our results.
The truth is that everything is united, there is no separation since the relationship between the mind and the body is very powerful. As soon as these particular networks of neurons are activated, the brain produces chemicals with a blueprint that matches these thoughts so that you feel similar to what you are thinking.
Therefore, when you think positive thoughts of gratitude, love or joy, you produce chemicals that make you feel wonderful, full of love or joy. The same goes for negative, fearful, or impatient thoughts. Within seconds you begin to feel negative, worried, or impatient.
Between the brain and the body there is a synchronicity at every moment. Actually, when we begin to feel according to what we think, because the brain is in constant communication with the body, we begin to think according to what we feel.
As Dr. Joe Dispenza comments in his book “Stop Being You”, he comments that when you have experienced an event numerous times, by mentally reliving each aspect of it, you feel the sensation that it will produce in you before it happens. And as you change the circuitry in your brain by thinking in a new way, you feel the emotions of the situation before it physically manifests itself, and your body may change genetically.
If the brain updates its configuration as if the experience had already happened physically, and the body changes genetically or biologically (shows that it has already happened), and both change without us “doing” anything in three dimensions, in this case it means that the This situation has occurred both in the quantum world of consciousness and in the world of physical reality.
When you mentally visualize a desired future reality over and over again until the brain changes physically as if it has already been experienced, you feel it emotionally so many times that the body changes as if it has already been experienced, don’t stop…because that’s when the situation begins! finds you! And it comes in the most unexpected way, proving that it has emerged from your relationship with a higher consciousness, and this discovery inspires you to do it again and again.

How to focus on positive thinking:
Now that I have shared this valuable information about the importance of taking care of our thoughts, since each individual has the ability to create a reality in their present, I invite you to start putting it into practice, that is why I want to share a series of simple steps, so you can implement it in your life.
Identifies areas to change: If you want to be more optimistic and think more positive, first identify the areas of your life where you tend to think negatively, whether it’s work, your daily commute, life changes, or a relationship. You can start small and focus on one of the areas that you need to take a more positive approach to. Consider a positive thought to control your stress instead of a negative one.
Evaluate yourself without judgment: Every so often throughout the day, stop and evaluate what you think. If you find that your thoughts are mostly negative, try to find a way to put a positive spin on them.
Don’t forget a sense of humor: Allow yourself to smile or laugh, especially during difficult times. Look for humor in everyday situations. When you can laugh at life, you feel less stressed.
Maintain a healthy lifestyle: Try to exercise for about 30 minutes most days of the week. You can even break it up into 5 or 10 minute intervals throughout the day. Exercise can positively influence mood and reduce stress. Maintain a healthy diet to fuel your mind and body. Get enough sleep and learn stress management techniques.
Surround yourself with positive people: Surround yourself with positive, supportive people who you can trust to give you helpful advice and opinions. Negative people can increase your stress level and make you doubt your ability to handle it in a healthy way.
Practice positive self-talk: Start by following a simple rule: don’t say anything to yourself that you wouldn’t say to someone else. Be kind and encouraging to yourself.
