Are You Addicted To Detriment, Or Joy?
Are you living in the here and now, or in your memories and habits?
Hello! Its always a pleasure to have you here :)
Today i wanted to discuss overthinking, emotions, manifestation and habits. Trust me with this one, these things are very closely intertwined.
But first, a question - What were you doing before you opened this post to read?
Were you cleaning, messaging your friends…Or worrying? Were you replaying the day’s events in your mind? Let’s be real, you were probably overthinking about your day. We so often do it that it becomes subconscious; a habit!
All habits can either be detrimental or beneficial, however overthinking tends to be a detrimental habit, doesn’t it? Can you remember a time when overthinking genuinely helped you?
Here’s the thing with overthinking, and thoughts in general. In Becoming Supernatural By Dr. Joe Dispenza, the statement that the mind does not know the difference between physical reality/threat and imagined scenarios, is regularly repeated. Just like if you imagine you are eating, your saliva glands will act accordingly: your mind will release chemicals such as adrenaline when you are rethinking that argument you had earlier in the day, or some other seemingly threatening scenario.
By repeating a scenario in your mind, again and again, you start to think and react as if you are truly back in that scenario. You might go about your day anxious or irritable simply because of something that happened some time ago, regardless of the fact that you are now safe.
So, what does this have to do with manifestation and habits?
Well, the human mind has a fascinating tendency to become addicted to certain brain chemicals and emotions, and eventually begins to crave the experience which induces the secretion of such hormones.
For example, if you are addicted to stress, you will overthink more, and it will become a habit. If you are addicted to sorrow, you will seek out negative memories and things to be upset about in your life. And so on.
In this way, you are actively manifesting these scenarios. You will receive an email from your boss that puts you on edge. You will be minorly inconvenienced and spiral into sorrow, for that is what you are used to and have manifested.
To summarise the doom and gloom part of this post, if you live in the past by overthinking negative events, you will manifest a future that vibrationally matches with that negative event, because you have become addicted to the chemical caused by the emotion within that negative event, therefore seek out similar experiences subconsciously.
Got that? Okay, here’s the good news.
You can become addicted to imagining a positive future in the same way that you did with negative events. Positive thoughts can release dopamine and serotonin, and these chemicals can be just as equally addictive to the brain and body! Instead of leading you to seek out negative events to create negative emotions, you may find yourself seeking out things to be grateful for in order to feel more joy, and so on.
In a crudely simplified explanation, you can train yourself to become addicted to joy the same way you may have become addicted to stress.
By regularly remembering or imagining positive events which create high-vibe emotions, you can train yourself to seek out and manifest a brighter and more hopeful future.
Isn’t that amazing?
That’s all I have for today! I hope you enjoyed today’s post, let me know what you thought of it.
Lots of love to you!
