Do You Have A Crystal Ball?
Have you considered that what you think will happen in the future, is just a story your brain is telling you?
All those things you are convinced are going to happen in the future, none of them are for certain...unless you have a crystal ball, if you do, I want to borrow it ;).
Our brains like to tell stories and some of them are really scary.
Our brains are just doing their job, they are trying to keep us safe.
The brain wants answers, so a story about the future is the brains way of trying to help us feel safe and in control of what might happen next.
The truth is we have no idea what will happen in the future even 5 minutes from now.
When your brain starts going off on scary stories like:
My spouse left the church and our kids will too
My loved one might become an alcoholic
They might end up in jail
Our marriage won't survive
I might loose my testimony
I'll never be happy
We won't fit in
Make sure you give EQUAL AIR TIME to the future you want.
What could go right?
What could be better than you expected.
Whether your brain sees it or not, the outcome where you get everything you ever dreamed of…is JUST. AS. POSSIBLE.
Worrying is like walking around with your umbrella open before the clouds even show up.
Why not spend your brain’s imaginative power creating what you do want.
It is a lot more fun, trust me.
If your brain is telling you scary stories that are not serving you, I get it and I know how to help.
