Unusual facts about the brain

Everyone sees what he wants. Although the word "wants" is inappropriate here, it would be correct to say - he sees what he has programmed his brain for.

Let's imagine that the brain is a muscle. And the muscle can and should be trained. Only unlike the biceps, it will not be boldly and visually inflated, but will remain in exactly the same physical condition as it was before training. It's just that your life will change for the better. On the other hand, what difference does it make to us what it looks like inside the skull?

For the brain, it doesn't matter whether it is reality or imagination

For him, these two concepts are identical. The brain reacts in the same way (in terms of the event that took place) to what you see, feel, feel and what you fantasize about. That is, whether an event happened in your life or you just invented it - he perceives both this and that as a fact that happened.

And if you realize this, then you can easily treat yourself (in physical and psychological aspects), the so-called placebo effect. The placebo effect is translated as "getting better", that is, getting well. With the help of a completely harmless preparation, simple water or installation, you can be cured.

Yes, people find it easier to believe in a pill, a panacea for all ills. And they are more willing to trust the professor in a white coat holding out a magic pill than themselves. And this belief in the professor and in his pill gives that placebo effect, that is, the person recovers.

And the fact that it was a glass of water, a vitamin or a brewed chamomile does not matter. At the moment it is a panacea and it really helps. You don't need to look for a professor with his magic, you need to trust yourself and believe in yourself.

Become that doctor for yourself: fantasize your recovery and become healthy. But fantasy will only come true if you know for sure that this is a panacea. To know, not to believe. Moreover, if you say something or do something with disbelief, then it is a waste of time.

The head hurts, they took "tsitramon", swallowed and after 20 minutes the headache was gone. Because you knew that the pain must pass, it is a fact, otherwise it simply cannot be. I assure you, if there was an ordinary ascorbic acid, the effect would be the same.

But you can just as well get sick.

Attract the disease to yourself, absorb it and become sick. If there is your message to your brain, “I got my feet wet and now I’m definitely going to sleep with a cold”. I assure you - you will definitely go to bed.

It is up to you to decide whether you will be healthy or ill.

You have probably met people who look at the world through rose-colored glasses, who fly in the clouds, and in the presence of many facts of sadness (in your opinion), they are always in a great mood. And you probably met those about whom they say “he’s mad with fat,” “he himself doesn’t understand what he wants,” “lives in chocolate, but makes God angry,” that is, everything (again from your point of view) is good with them, but they in sorrow.

It's very simple, the first ones feel joy from their dreams, and the body produces hormones of happiness - endorphin, serotonin and dopamine. The latter do not produce the hormones of happiness, but instead produce the hormone of pain and unhappiness - enkephalin.

And hormones are already something material that can be touched (in laboratory conditions) with devices. That is, it was as if nothing, but there were hormones that heal or cripple your body.

You see exactly what you think of most often

There are billions of moments in life, but we notice the chosen ones. We are selective about what to see. Here you are walking down the street, and all the skinny girls go to the meeting. They are all thinner than you. And why? Because you are now losing weight and choose them from the crowd, because you are wearing an extra 5 kg. They are for you as an incentive.

Or vice versa, you walk and see only fat women around. And why? Because you are wearing the same 5 kg of excess weight, but you think that you are normal, since everything around you is thicker. The flow of people is the same, there are both thin and fat women. But you see only those whom you have chosen to see.

A person chooses what to see. He sees, which means that this confirms his inner attitude. Remember from a children's joke about a horse?

The family had two sons, one is a pessimist and the other is an optimist. The parents had money for only one present for the new year, and they decided to please their pessimistic son. And the optimistic son will find something to rejoice in. They bought a wooden horse and put it under the Christmas tree from Santa Claus for the pessimist, and for the optimist they put a pile of hay. And now the pessimist is crying, he has an artificial horse. And the optimist is happy, he is alive, just now she ran away. As you understand, no one from the outside, even a very close and dear one, can force you to change the angle of view, neither in one direction nor in the other. Only you yourself!

Everyone sees what he wants. Although the word "wants" is inappropriate here, it would be correct to say - he sees what he has programmed his brain for. We do not want to go out of necessity when the main football match is broadcast, but we go because the body requires it. We do not want this, this is a program. So it is with what we see. We don't seem to want to see this, but we see. We see, then we are convinced of this. We can be convinced of the bad, or we can look at the same situation in a good way.

Same day, but everyone sees it differently. Even you yourself can see it in different ways, depending on which program is turned on in the brain.

I look outside the window with slush, marsh, crows croaking, and then I looked closer - spring is coming, grass appears, birds are singing. Look closely and you will see that the world has many bright and beautiful colors, even when others see only dull gray tones.

This is very important to know! You can get out of a stressful situation if you reprogram your thinking. You need to run a program that will show you good things. Difficult, but no one said it would be easy.

Give yourself a positive mindset and look for those who already have it. Collect other people's stories, collect other people's victories. If they succeed, then you will succeed. They could, which means it's real.

Remember in the beginning with skinny and fatties? First, there should be a "change what is" setting, and the "this will do" setting must be formatted. You disagree that you are fat, poor, sick, and unhappy. Do not agree! Then you collect the stories of those who are handsome, successful, rich. You notice them around. You understand that there are many of them. Learn from experience.

The main thing at this stage is not to give slack, and slack is envy. Correctly ask yourself the question, not “why is everything to him, but nothing to me ?!”, but “what do I need to do to become the same or better?” And when the question is formulated correctly, your brain will prompt you the answers. And the result will be that you will see successful around you, perhaps your social circle will change, and as a result you will see yourself as successful. And most importantly, you really will be.

The brain operates on autopilot for most of its life

The average human brain generates about 60 thousand thoughts per day. Yes, it generates, produces, gives birth, creates again, but about 70% of the thoughts will be the same as yesterday, i.e. the same ones that were generated yesterday.

What's the focus? On autopilot. The brain remembered yesterday's program, and today played it 70% of the day. Even if today you have a great promise to change your life for the better, and yesterday you were moping all day, then, unfortunately, today you will still mope to a greater extent, by 70%.

But, continuing to think about the good today, tomorrow you will be moping by 50%. So the day is not far off when the brain will automatically generate a feeling of happiness. And to do this, you need to start programming it right now, the first two facts will easily help with this. The first is to learn how to imagine a good day even on a bad day. The second is to see the good even in a bad day.

And now for an example. You were having a bad day, and on top of that, you got caught in the rain and got your feet wet. We returned home, put the shoes on to dry, and our feet got steamy. You can go into a dull tailspin and start feeling sorry for yourself and lamenting. Can. But tomorrow there will be a new day and it will be much better, but your brain will give out almost today's program of bad luck and happiness will be canceled.

But remembering the first fact, you can run in the rain and visualize how you are relaxing on the sea - sun, sea, beach, warmth, martini with a straw, etc. Yes, you will still run in the rain, but you have an organism will develop hormones of happiness.

And remembering the second fact, you can run in the rain, but see the good. For that, your head is dry, because you took an umbrella. You are well done. Steam your legs - great! You are at home, warm and difficult behind. You have overcome everything and now you can relax, etc. Thus, even in a streak of bad luck, you can program your brain for good, naturally the brain will take negative too, but to a lesser extent.

When a streak of bad luck comes, a change of scenery helps a lot. They say to go somewhere in order to "clear" their brains in order to start starting the correct autopilot in a new place. Indeed, in a normal setting. Where difficulties overtook you, every thing, smell, word will bring you back to bad moments and you yourself, unwillingly, will start a self-destruction program.

Negative thoughts create stress, even if there is no real cause. These are the so-called notions of the bad: “what if”, “and if again”, “and if it’s the same for me”. These "notions" can really reduce immunity and you will get sick if you "pull and attribute" illness to yourself.

Also, these "notions" will program the brain to be negative, and your autopilot will work with this program. For example, you are jealous, there are no reasons for jealousy, but you imagine them.

The first fact is that you fantasized and lost the hormones of happiness and began to produce hormones of unhappiness. In total, you are unhappy.

The second fact is that you see in everything the confirmation of infidelity, even when it is not a priori, because you see what you want to see. You find a double meaning in words, find fault with films, songs, project other people's infidelities onto your half (all women / men are the same), etc.

The third fact is that 70% of the brain works on autopilot, and this autopilot is sure that the other half is cheating or is sure that it is ready to cheat. And tell me, where will such a relationship lead? Then, when there are no reasons for unhappiness, a person created them for himself out of nothing and really became unhappy.

The most important thing is to learn how to train your brain. Train for good thoughts. Force your brain to register positive thoughts. Fill the autopilot with good thoughts (facts one and two). The more often and harder you train your brain, the faster and easier it will be for you. Because then the autopilot will begin to work on your feeling of happiness, and not vice versa.

Your brain needs to be turned off periodically

This does not mean that turning off the brain completely (and this is impossible), all functions aimed at the work of the body will work, and you need to turn off your thoughts. Bad thoughts, of course. How to do this if they keep poking into your head? For this, there are techniques such as prayer, reading affirmations (positive mantras) and many others.

Read the right book, watch the right movie, attend the right seminars and courses, talk to the right people. It is difficult to say what exactly will be correct. Sometimes the right people will be those who will "beat" you with their problems, sometimes those who will show / share their happiness with you, sometimes, those who will not know about your problems, and with them you will feel like an ordinary person.

As a rule, it is the latter, and they are exactly the right ones for you at the moment. Not always grieving for a couple or communicating with those who know about your troubles, but deliberately loudly amuses you is the best option. People tend to feel sorry, but pity will be detrimental here.

Choose the right vacation for yourself, preferably active: skiing, diving, hiking. Do whatever you want, the main thing is that the process absorbs you completely, then it will be difficult for negative thoughts to penetrate into the brain.

The more often you focus on the processes that are physically taking place in your life now, the more effectively your brains will be “cleared”. Start some process right now and you will see how quickly you get out of the tailspin of negative thoughts.

This process of "cleansing" the brain will give another very significant plus. You will be the winner. Either you will conquer mountain peaks, or become an excellent divegist, or receive a kinesiologist certificate and continue to help yourself and others.

You will have one more victory and you can be proud of yourself. You will understand that the world is beautiful and there are so many amazing things in it that you have not yet passed. And you realize that dwelling on what cannot be changed is not just a waste of time, but the killing of your happy tomorrow. Don't kill him! Allow him to be what he should be - happy.

The brain can be changed physically

Force your brain to generate new neural connections! Mental activity does an excellent job with this. This process in the brain is called neuroplasticity.

It works like this.

If you fixate on the fact that you can never buy a house for yourself, then over time, you will only become stronger in this conclusion. And it will become a fact. And if you imagine, visualize your house to the smallest detail, and in the end give the mind "I will have my own home!", Then your brain will begin to build new neural connections for this thought. And the neural connection is already a completely material thing, that is, it has matter.

You yourself will not notice how new perspectives will open up in front of you and new horizons will open up.

The brain, as your personal wish-fulfilling universe, will eventually turn desire into reality.

In other words, it will execute the installation.

But do not forget that it is not the phrase “I’ll be fine!” That is spoken aloud, but the real, one hundred percent conviction that you will be fine is an attitude.

It's tricky, but it works!

There is no need to speak and not believe, you need to speak and know for sure.
