change the “reaction” channel in your brain

April 15th, 2014

Change the “reaction” channel in your brain.
We’ve all heard it before.
“You can’t change what you can’t change..but you can change how you react to it”.
BUT…
how do you do that?
It’s really a simple plan that takes a lot of practice and practice and practice…
For those of you who are old enough to remember dials on the TV; picture one of those.
If not; picture a remote!
When a situation beyond your control “happens TO you”; it is YOUR CHOICE how to REACT.
One great way to make a frustrating, hurtful, bad, negative occurrence a positive one for yourself is to imagine CHANGING THE CHANNEL of your REACTIONS to these negative outside situations.
When you visualize actually changing something physically (the dial or remote), your brain will more easily accept the change…even if it doesn’t make sense.
Like…
someone makes a comment that is “obviously” negative about you, your performance at work, something you did or didn’t do, etc.
Your first thought and then reaction would “logically” be negative also.
Then, you will be thinking negative thoughts…
feel badly about yourself…
boom! the outside situation has won.
You want to be able to turn the outside negative into an internal positive.
By changing the channel in your mind with a visual you can CHOOSE which channel to change to…negative or positive.
Something “outside force” happens negative.
You change the internal channel to Positive.
Your brain and all your following thoughts will be positive.
“I bet that person is having a bad day…I know I didn’t do anything wrong..I choose to feel good”.
