DO or DO NOT, there is no ‘try’. – Yoda
This is a subject discuss daily in our chiropractic office. I ask my practice members, do you find yourself saying, “I will try doing that, but…” or “I’m not sure I will have time, but I will try”? When you say “try”, what does it mean? Is it lack of faith in yourself? Is it lack of information regarding the situation? When did we start thinking like that? For some, I think the thought process continues as we experience life and that those thoughts become a reality for some. What we tell our subconscious becomes real. If we tell ourselves, “I’m not going to be able to run this race”, your subconscious believes it. For some, this language was never learned or passed down, whether from parents, peer groups, spouses, etc. For others, it may have started during the impressionable ages, like grade school and junior high and may continue throughout life. It happens when we listen, accept and believe what others think of us. We came into this life (for most) with having no fear, not comparing ourselves to others, not caring what someone’s opinion is of us. What changes this attitude? In order for this to change, we need to focus on filling up our ‘positive tank’, so we will not succumb to who others believe we are. When you were in junior high, did anyone ever tell you that you couldn’t accomplish something? Absolutely! Did you listen to them? If so, did you make their assumption your belief? If we don’t believe in ourselves, many times we not only will listen to the naysayers, but also believe them. In that scenario, the one who suffers is us. The best way to make this change is to focus on the good, the great, and the beautiful part of you. Thoughts become things. You have a choice. Choose to make yourself the best you can be so you can offer the world so much more.
What was life like when you were five years old? What did you love? What did you do? How did you think? Finishing the sentence below may open you up to the difference in thinking from then to now. Have fun!!
