Words rewire your nervous system

I didn't even know this was a thing until I began public speaking, podcasting, tweeting etc.

Psycho-Linguisitcs

When psychology meets language

Speaking your life into existence is a thing

It rewires the internal which influences the external

'Your saying that words can rewire my reality?'

Yes.

'Any idea why?'

Yes.

Pay attention. This may be the most important thing you read in all of 2019... 👀👇

There's a few BIG moments that parents expect from a baby.

Can you name 2 of them?

'Hm...'

It's their first steps & their first word.

Walking is primal.

You're going to keep experimenting until you walk.

But the word...

Is that primal?

In order for you to answer that question, you gotta know some basics of language.

It wasn't an invention that was designed out of the blue moon.

There wasn't some mad scientist in a lab alone who said:

'Aha! Here it is. I have designed language!'

Rather, it was a tool set created by society.

Scientists are able to trace back dinosaur bones.

But they always have a hard time tracing back the origins of language.

Hard to dissect skeleton remnants to see the words they used.

But the main premise is that language was developed by society.

Every word that you use was the byproduct of one or many other peoples perceptions.

The first word that baby utters was probably a word that they heard from you.

And the first time you heard that word was probably when you heard it from your guardian.

Language is simply an ANALOGY of reality.

Picture a car.

You see that?

'Yea.'

What do you see?

'A burgundy Honda Civic.'

How though?

I just said 'picture a car.'

Just random symbols.

Why is it generating an image in your brain?

'Uhh...'

Because words were designed by the people before you to convey perception.

Fool.

Don't you see?

Words are more than symbols alone.

They dictate your perception.

Your view of the world.

When I began public speaking, I was telling stories about my life.

Events where I had a conflict and the lesson learned.

And I was forced to articulate those experiences via words.

Via language.

I didn't know it at the time, but I was changing my reality.

Your nervous system is made up of your brain & spinal cord. Nerves as well.

Words light up centers of your brain which produce images.

Just like the 'car' example from earlier.

Each speech was serving as commands from the brain.

Remember this.

☆the brain is dumb. Itll do whatever its told repetitively.

☆The mind is the smart one.

Brain is tangible & mind is intangible.

Psychology is the study of the mind.

Linguistics is the study of language.

"Psycho-Linguisitcs is the relationship between psychological processes & linguistic behavior."

Intelligent people can read between the lines.

When the see Psycho-Linguisitcs, they see the ability for the mind to USE words to change their biology.

Change their nervous system.

Change the pictures in their brain.

Speaking your life into existence has always been a thing.

The great ones have been saying it for centuries.

Coincidence? I think not.

They were using language to rewire their nervous system.

Whether they were aware of it or not.

Life experiences are neutral champ.

YOU get to decide the narrative that you want to assign to it.

And if you don't actively assign a narrative to your experiences, your dumb brain will do it for you.

Your brain is designed to keep you safe

Your brain is operating with the old school rules of your primal ancestors.

The life of people whose life was always in danger due to sabertooth tigers, rival tribesman & other dangers

Your brain at a default state is negatively biased.

The 'negativity bias' is the brains propensity to filter negative events over positive events for survival reasons.

So if you don't CONSCIOUSLY pick your narratives, then your brain will assign it for you.

And it will not be favorable to your long term vision.

Your brain doesn't give a fuck about your long term vision.

Your brain doesn't give a fuck about your growth.

Let me reiterate.

Your brain only gives a fuck about your safety.

Carrying primal belief systems in today's world will have you being a victim.

No lie.

Self defeating talk & making excuses.

You don't know why. But your negative leaning brain sure does.

Which is why you need to reprogram yourself.

And the most efficient way you're going to do that is thru language.

There is plenty of words that you can select from to creative dream narrative for your programmable brain.

Change your internal world by being mindful of the words you're using.

Better yet, set aside 10-30 minutes a day to program your brain

To speak your desired reality into existence.

Start of with journaling.

Pen & paper.

Writing by hand engages the motor sector of the brain, memory, logic, creativity etc.

Writing by hand engages virtually all parts of your brain.

Keep practicing that.

And eventually you can expand to another vehicle if you desire like:

Twitter
Podcast
YouTube
Public speaking etc

Make sense of your past experiences by:

Acknowledging your wins.

And viewing the lessons behind your losses

And write about your desired future.

Your vision comes out as a baby. Needs attention to grow.

Work on the past & future for the optimal present.

Words play a big role in your reality.

It influences the images in your brain.

Those images generate feelings in your body.

A use of the strategic words puts you in a state of hypnosis to rewire your internal world.

Be strategic with your moves.

Beware of shit posting or whining like a negative sack of shit.

You're only living one life.

Life it by being bold.

Don't live it by playing catchup due to short term thinking.

If you write it down, you will soon become it.

Just watch.

Now it's just a matter of you finding out.

Best wishes for 2020.
