Have you ever noticed how your beliefs seem to shape your reality? 😱
Oh, the power of the Reticular Activating System!
This phenomenon is partly due to the Reticular Activating System (RAS), a powerful mechanism in your brain that filters information and influences your focus.
Understanding how it works can help you overcome limiting beliefs and stop falling prey to the fear, self-doubt, and the redundant lies we replay over and over in our heads.
What Is the RAS⁉
The RAS is a network of neurons in your brain that acts as a gatekeeper💂♀️, filtering incoming information and determining what gets your attention. It’s why you suddenly notice all the red cars on the road after thinking about buying one. The RAS prioritizes information that aligns with your existing beliefs and values, effectively CREATING your perception of reality.
How Limiting Beliefs Are Validated ❓
Your RAS plays a significant role in validating your limiting beliefs. If you believe you’re not good enough, your RAS will filter out positive feedback and highlight evidence that supports this belief.
It’s not that positive events aren’t happening; your brain simply doesn’t focus on them. This self-reinforcing loop can keep you stuck in a cycle of self-doubt and negativity.
Ok, So Now What ⁉
You can start now and begin to question everything you thought you knew. 🤔
OR -Working with a coach is one of the most effective ways to recognize and reframe these limiting beliefs. A coach can help you to ~
🔎 Identify Untrue Beliefs – Pinpoint the subconscious beliefs that are holding you back.
🖼 Challenge and Reframe – Work through these beliefs, challenging their validity and reframing them into empowering thoughts.
🧠 Shift Your Focus – Train your RAS to recognize and focus on positive, growth-oriented information, aligning with your true value and objectives. This effectively shortens the distance from where you are now – to where you want to go!
⚡ Did you know?
The RAS can also impact your emotional state?
🌞 By focusing on positive affirmations and visualizations, you can actually influence your mood and resilience.
💥 This neural plasticity means you have the power to rewire your brain’s focus, ultimately transforming your reality.
🙋♀️ Take the Next Step
Understanding the RAS is a crucial step in personal development. By working with a coach, you can harness this mechanism to shift your mindset, challenge limiting beliefs, and create a life that aligns with your true values and aspirations.
Transformation is no longer about just affirmations, setting goals, or even therapy. It’s about BRAIN CHANGE, neuroscience, and leaving the past in the past – where it belongs.
But we can’t change our thinking with the same brain that has been doing the erroneous thinking. Self can’t see self – so self can’t fix self. I can help. Message me today!
