Are positive affirmations true? And, if not, how can we convince ourselves otherwise? How can we tap into the superpowers of our brains? Lisa continues the conversation today with NYT bestselling author, business expert, and international speaker John Assaraf who has proven that it is possible to create new neural pathways and talks about how anyone can learn to utilize the power of our brains.  

To break limiting beliefs, John talks about affirming the possibility, even if it doesn’t seem like the current reality. This is a way to set up the frequency. Like a tiny acorn has the potential to become a giant Oak tree, positive affirmations can plant a seed in the brain. When there’s a disconnect between the affirmation and current reality, an untrained mind might say, “But that’s not true! I haven’t lost weight, or I don’t have lots of money in my bank account.” The wise mind asks to change our reality and see possibilities. We can become in charge of our brain. We can affirm the seeds of a new image and then a new reality. John explains that even if it’s not real right now, we can still plant the thought in our mind to develop roots. We can practice and make it “feel” real at the moment. Then, as we move toward that reality, we can take one action step each day to move toward that goal.  

How do you think it, imagine it, then behave in ways to make it reality? John explains that we are all living in a sea of energy -- a quantum field of sending and receiving. We can choose our thoughts and feel that we are worthy of success. We can believe it, then achieve it. We can tune our minds in a similar way that we can tune into certain frequencies. Visualization, positive self-talk, and positive affirmations can all be very helpful. Remember the possibilities. Brain entrainment can help to raise your thoughts and raise your frequency so you can have unstoppable success!
