What if all you desired was not out of your reach, But simply needed a better story? Neuroscience tells us about the reticular activating system, A filter in the brain that sorts through thousands of daily sensory inputs and decides from those what reaches our consciousness. What's fascinating about this filtering system in the brain is that it is looking for what's familiar. It filters sensory reality for whatever we have deemed important. This means if we are repeatedly narrating a worst case scenario of what ifs or ruminating on the past, Our internal filter starts to look for sensory validation. For those worst case scenarios. The better story is not one filtered through a lens of stress and fear. Today, Let's help your brain look for a day worthy of a main character. Close your eyes. Place one hand over your heart. Take a deep inhale through your nose. Exhale slowly through the mouth. Deep inhale through the nose. Feeling your chest and stomach expand. And exhale slowly through the mouth. One more deep breath. Inhale through the nose. And exhale slowly through the mouth. Now allow yourself to visualize. Best possible outcome for your day. If all our lives are our stories. Visualize yourself living today. As the main character of your life. What does the main character? Where? Today. To feel their most alive. How does this main character carry themselves? As they walk. What music or podcast? Or book on tape. Do they listen to you on the way to work? What breakfast? Would they pick? How do they talk? And who do they talk to? By visualizing. Best possible outcome for today and yourself living. As the main character. You're helping that brain filtering system. Focus on the best possible story. Allow yourself today. To tell a better story of how the day will go. Take a deep breath in. And audibly exhale. Releasing this short visualization. You can consciously narrate a day of the best case scenario. And as you do so, See how much differently life meets you. Help your brain's filter search for the best possible outcome. You deserve it.
