Quotes About Thoughts

if you're not in the present moment, you're probably in a program.

A habit is a redundant set of automatic unconscious thoughts, behaviors, and emotions that develop through repetition. It's when you've done something so many times that your body is programmed to become the mind. Over time, your body is dragging you to a predictable future based on what you've been doing in the past. Therefore, if you're not in the present moment, you're probably in a program.

No tenemos por qué conformarnos con nuestra realidad actual, podemos crear otra nueva cuando queramos. Todos tenemos esta capacidad, porque para bien o para mal, nuestros pensamientos influyen en nuestra vida.

Porque los pensamientos son el lenguaje del cerebro, y los sentimientos el lenguaje del cuerpo.

If it sounds as though I'm saying that we live a huge part of our lives on autopilot, that's exactly right. Thinking the same thoughts leads us to make the same choices. Making the same choices leads to demonstrating the same behaviors. Demonstrating the same behaviors leads us to create the same experiences. Creating the same experiences leads us to produce the same emotions. And those same emotions then drive the same thoughts.

This astonishing evidence that thought (in the form of expectation) could have a greater effect on the body than the "real" physical environment helped to usher in a new era of scientific study called psychoneuroimmunology—the effect of thoughts and emotions on the immune system—an important segment of the mind-body connection.

In both situations—bringing on the asthma symptoms and then dramatically reversing them—the patients were responding to suggestion alone, the thought planted in their minds by the researchers, which played out exactly as they expected. They were harmed when they thought they'd inhaled something harmful, and they got better when they thought they were receiving medicine—and these thoughts were greater than their environment, greater than reality.

We think somewhere between 60,000 to 70,000 thoughts in one day,1 and 90 percent of those thoughts are exactly the same ones we had the day before.

If this is your personality, then your personality creates your personal reality. It's that simple. And your personality is made up of how you think, how you act, and how you feel.

te esfuerzas por cambiar el mundo interior de tus pensamientos y sentimientos, tu entorno exterior también empezará a cambiar, demostrándote que tu mente ha afectado tu mundo «exterior» ¿Por qué si no ibas a hacerlo?

So when we repeat a thought or an experience enough times, our brain cells make not only stronger connections between each other (which affects our physiological functions), but also a greater number of total connections (which affects the physical structure of the body). The brain becomes more enriched microscopically.

for wherever you place your attention is where you place your energy. . . .

You may want wealth, you may think "wealthy" thoughts, but if you feel poor, you aren't going to attract financial abundance to yourself. Why not? Because thoughts are the language of the brain, and feelings are the language of the body. You're thinking one way and feeling another way.

Hence, the title You Are the Placebo reflects the fact that it's your own thoughts, emotions, and beliefs that are generating chains of physiological events in your body.

Always, in order to change, we have to come to a new understanding of self and the world so that we can embrace new knowledge and have new experiences. That is what reading this book will do for you. Your past shortfalls can be traced, at their root, to one major oversight: you haven't committed yourself to living by the truth that your thoughts have consequences so great that they create your reality.

Even the emotional centers are cooled off in the limbic brain. As a result, what we are thinking about or focusing on will become more real to us than the external world. As those neural networks are shut off by the frontal lobe, we no longer process any level of mind or awareness in that part of the brain and we, therefore, are no longer conscious of the body, the environment, and even time.

Most people spend the majority of their time preoccupied with negative thoughts and feelings. Is it likely that most of the things that are happening in our present circumstances are negative? Obviously not. Negativity runs so high because we are either living in anticipation of stress or re-experiencing it through a memory, so most of our thoughts and feelings are driven by those strong hormones of stress and survival.

When you hold clear, focused thoughts about your purpose, accompanied by your passionate emotional engagement, you broadcast a stronger electromagnetic signal that pulls you toward a potential reality that matches what you want.

Your past shortfalls can be traced, at their root, to one major oversight: you haven't committed yourself to living by the truth that your thoughts have consequences so great that they create your reality

los circuitos del cerebro se reorganizan para reflejar nuestros objetivos. Podemos hacer que nuestros pensamientos sean tan reales que el cerebro cambia como si la situación ya fuera una realidad física.

Cuando nuestra conducta coincide con nuestras intenciones, cuando nuestras acciones están de acuerdo con nuestros pensamientos, cuando la mente y el cuerpo actúan juntos, cuando nuestras palabras son coherentes con nuestras acciones, detrás de nosotros hay un poder inmenso.

Then you consciously marry your thoughts and intentions with a heightened state of emotion, such as joy or gratitude. (More on heightened states of emotion is coming up.) Once you can embrace that new emotion and you get more excited, you're bathing your body in the neurochemistry that would be present if that future event were actually happening. It could be suggested that you're giving your body a taste of the future experience.
