How acknowledging and reprogramming your thoughts transforms your reality
We visualize a future where we are all able to live in an equitable, just, inclusive, accessible, better world and no one is left behind.
Welcome to another episode of ‘Now What? Hosted by JR’ where we are cultivating a garden of encouragement, resilience and embracing technology and growth for the future.
Today, we’re diving into the topic: ‘How acknowledging and reprogramming your thoughts transforms your reality. Neuroplasticity in action.’
Some Housekeeping
* My ‘About me” page gives a little insight into who I am.
* On Thursday we have a treat Tracy Mansolillo will be doing a guest post for us. She will talk about: Three Simple Ways to Practice Gratitude and Live A More Mindful Life
* After a life changing illness in her 20’s - Tracy, a successful corporate marketing executive, lost the career and life she loved. While researching potential causes of her condition she stumbled upon an article about the scientific benefits of gratitude. That article led to a simple gratitude practice which has continued for nearly thirty years, helping her lead a more mindful, joyful life despite life’s inevitable disruptions.

Enough with the chit chat
Close your eyes and get comfortable
Breathe slowly though your nose - 3…2…1…
Breathe slowly out your mouth - 3 …2 …1 …
Repeat 4 times
Keep your eyes closed
Reach for the sky
Stretch high above your head
Wiggle your fingers
Wiggle your toes
Bring your arms slowly around and give yourself a BIG hug
Let your arms fall slowly into your lap
Keeping your eyes closed take a deep breath in and WHOOSH it all out
Open your eyes
How acknowledging and reprogramming your thoughts transforms your reality. Neuroplasticity in action’
* “Have you ever felt stuck in a cycle of negative thoughts, no matter how hard you try to ignore them? What if I told you that ignoring them actually makes them stronger?”
* The Core Message
* Your thoughts shape your reality—but only when you acknowledge them can you change them.
* We are not at the mercy of our thoughts; through neuroplasticity, we can rewire our brains.
* Real-Life Success Story: Jim Carrey – From Poverty to Hollywood Icon
* One of the most inspiring real-life examples of mindset transformation through neuroplasticity and reprogramming thoughts is Jim Carrey’s journey from struggling in poverty to becoming one of the most successful comedians and actors in Hollywood. (See Show Notes for Transcription)
* Jim Carey’s Story shows us
* Your thoughts shape your reality.
* Ignoring thoughts doesn’t work—acknowledging and reprogramming them does.
* Neuroplasticity means you can rewire your brain at any time.
Lets talk for a moment about Norman Doidge study on neuroplasticity
– The Brain That Changes Itself
Wrap
* Your brain believes what you repeatedly tell it. Jim Carrey visualized success so often that his brain started to accept it as inevitable.
* Thoughts must be backed by action. He didn’t just think positively; he worked relentlessly to improve his skills.
* Rewiring your mind takes consistency. The more you affirm and visualize, the stronger the neural pathways become.
In the Resource section of the Newsletter I have a link to Rachel Lawlan Substack. She explores how small daily habits can reshape your brain and create lasting change.
A few questions to think about
* “What’s your $10 million check?”
* “What belief about yourself do you need to rewire today?”
* “If you could visualize your future self, what would they look like, think like, and act like?”
Jim Carrey’s story proves that changing your thoughts truly changes your life—not through magic, but through neuroplasticity in action.
