JR always gives rousing speeches at MAIC and MAWC. He likes to give the crowd what he calls a “brain spanking” where he reprograms your brain live on stage. I wanted to take some time to give you a step-by-step guide to reprograming your brain. JR and I believe that anything is possible as long as you have the conviction and you continue to work at it. You might fail at first but soon after, you’ll succeed. But first, you need the conviction. All it takes is a little know-how. Read on to reprogram your brain. Take it easy and don’t be too hard on yourself. This takes some practice.
The Step-By-Step Way to Reprogram Your Brain
It all starts with a thought. We don’t always think thoughts are as important as they actually are, but they do a lot. Let’s start with a negative thought as an example: “I’m a failure.”
Ouch! That negative thought quickly turns into an emotion. Let’s say it’s despair. You start to believe that negative thought, and you start to feel terrible. Feelings are even more powerful than thoughts because they show the universe what vibe you’re at.
Once that emotion sets in, it becomes a belief. Believing a negative thought is when things get tricky because soon you’ll start to look for confirmation. Maybe your business isn’t going right or maybe you’re struggling with money. You’ll use that as confirmation at a subconscious level.
Once you get the confirmation, it becomes a conviction and takes work to undo.
To reprogram that negative thought, you have to start repeating a positive thought. Let’s use “I am successful,” as an example. It’s just a thought, but it can do so much for you. Work on what it’ll feel like to be a successful person. What would that look and feel like? Now, you’ve turned that thought into an emotion. Feeling good is your priority now because you have to turn that emotion into a belief. Start looking for small areas of confirmation once you believe in it. Maybe you made your first commission check, or your new prospect is really understanding the business and going at it with full force. Now that you see the proof, it’s a conviction! You are truly successful.
