Day 238 – Is the Familiar Good?

I tumbled down a rabbit hole this morning and started listening to this Neuro Science doctor turned celebrity speaker Joe Dispenza. The first major point he made in one video is that the familiar is not necessarily good. In fact the familiar could actually be the manifestation of your fears and reliving the emotions of past experience. You could very well be allowing the emotional memory device called the brain to control how you feel in the morning and therefore allowing it to talk you out of doing anything that will improve yourself.

If you are reading this in the morning, you are about ready to start the day. You are about ready to let the emotional memory of your past influence what you are going to do today. You are going to allow this emotional memory to establish what you are willing and not willing to do. You will be so confidence that your emotional memory is accurate that you will have already decided the outcome of you doing something, talking to someone, taking a risk will be. The problem is that you are completely wrong. Your emotional memory is all IN THE PAST.

The past has nothing do to with today. It will certainly cause you to plan to do anything important, tomorrow. That is because tomorrow is not now. Your brain will have another chance tomorrow morning to talk you out of doing anything uncomfortable or unfamiliar today.

Stop it. Right now. Realize your emotional memory, although extremely important, has no place in deciding what you will do today or how you will accomplish what is important. It is controlling you and you do not even realize it.

Change. Today. Overcome the emotional past and create the future of dynamic, uncertain possibilities. Wake up every morning and plan how you will break this cycle and set out on a journey to perfect, improve, and help yourself and the world around you.
