According to Deepak Chopra our cells are constantly eavesdropping on our mind.
And as they eavesdrop they learn and change and evolve. In his book Biology of Belief author Dr. Bruce Lipton talks about how cells have a membrane that he calls Mem-Brain. These cells learn from other cells and transmit information to each other. As cells die and new cells are born only the new information is transferred. About once or so every year all the cells in our body are reborn or transformed and their data comes from what we believe.
Dr. Shad Helmstetter, author of the Best Selling book What To Say When You Talk To Yourself says that our beliefs come from what we take in through our 5 senses. Mostly what we hear! And the person we hear most is ourselves.
So what are you saying when you talk to yourself or when you talk about yourself to others? Are you prone to saying such things as “Oh that was so stupid of me” or “Man, am I dumb or what?” or “Sometimes, I can’t believe how stupid I am” or “I can’t afford that – I’m broke”?
Your cells are taking in these types of statements and comments objectively. The more times you say it and the more passionately you say it the stronger the belief becomes within your cells. They say to each other “Maybe this guy is stupid” and then the next time you say it they say to each other “See – he just said it again so that confirms that he is stupid”.
Then when a new cell is born the old cells just transfer the data to the new cell. “Our guy here, he is real nice and stuff but boy is he stupid”. Before you know it your life is in the gutter because you just can’t seem to do anything right. And you just seem to continually attract crap into your life. To find out how all this Stinking Thinking and Freaking Speaking turns you into a Crap Magnet read my next post.
For now please just watch your mouth! If you can’t say something nice about yourself just don’t say anything at all. After all you are awesome and that’s what you should tell yourself every single day.
Ever heard of affirmations? Or as Dr. Helmstetter calls it Self-Talk! Make up a list of things that you would like to become. Maybe you want to have more Self Confidence. Then here is an affirmation for you:
“I have a completely relaxed Self Assurance. I am sure of myself in all situations and with all people.”
You might want to add this: “I am not Shy or Afraid of anyone. I am Bold, Calm and Cheerful.”
Maybe you want more money: “Money continually flows into my life with ease and grace and enriches me and all around me.”
When you first begin to say these affirmations you might hear you cells screaming out in laughter. That’s okay! Remember you’ve been telling them how stupid you are until now. As you begin this exercise they might think you have finally gone bonkers. But continue and make sure you say it with Passion and Conviction – in other words like you believe it – strongly.
However, slowly these cells will come around. Soon they will say “This gal is very confident and bold and happy and she has a lot of money.” Remember these cells only know what you tell it. If you keep telling it that you are broke, that is what they know. And as you will see in my next post like attracts like.
