In one of my first posts I explained Hebb's Law. The idea that 'neurons that fire together, wire together.' In practical terms, what does that mean? Here's an example from my own life.
Those of you who know me probably know that my health has been, let's say, a project, for quite some time. With regular tapping I've seen steady improvements. Fatigue continues to be an occasional challenge though. As I was working the other day, at something that did not require my conscious thoughts, I realized that my mind was repeating some version of the phrase "I'm just too tired, I really am." These thoughts were not directed at any particular activity I had planned that I was worried about, my brain was going about it's business reinforcing a belief I have.
The actual truth is that my energy is much improved in general. Sometimes it slips back, or I'm easily overwhelmed. But this is improving all the time. Because change is scary, and staying in a well worn groove is so much easier, my brain was busy rebuilding the old wiring that says I'm too tired.
Well, when I realized that was going on, I put a stop to it. I consciously began to repeat the opposite of that statement: I do have enough energy to do what I need to do. The awesome thing that happened is I felt more energized. Not in some mythical future, but right then and there!
When I stopped being so darn committed to one truth (and in truth there was quite a bit of emotion behind those thoughts) I created space for a new truth to emerge. Mostly transformation takes time, but because I tap regularly I may have developed some neuro-plasticity that allows changes to happen quickly. Akin to stepping from one path to another running along side it. Have I stopped having those thoughts that I am too tired? No, but as soon as I hear them I start to change them, and the more I do that the less power and control those less desirable thoughts have on me, my health and my destiny.
Brilliant!
Tap On.
peace,
Penny

Our Brilliant and Pliant Brains
Greetings everyone, you do know that you are smart and getting smarter all the time, right? I subscribe to a wonderful weekly newsletter http://www.heysigmund.com. The latest issue (7/8/16) reiterates clinical findings that show that what we believe is paramount to our success.
I'll take a direct quote from the newsletter here, "Research lead by Hans Schroder and published in the journal Biological Psychology, has found that telling people that ‘effort trumps genetics’ causes instant changes in the brain that motivate people towards success."
The gist of the study is that people who were given material that said intelligence is fixed performed differently on tests than people who were told that intelligence can improve. The first group were more outcome oriented and remain stuck at the same level of performance. The second group were more task oriented and learned from their mistakes, improving performance over sequential trials.
This was just for the conscious mind. Now lets add in the subconscious programming. If you were raised in an environment that reinforced for you a particular identity, i.e., you're not good enough, nothing ever works out for me, who do you think you are, 'our people' never go to college, (and the list goes on and on) then you need a new paradigm to change your life.
Have you ever watched a friend date the same bad partner (in different forms) over and over. Has it been clear to you that they repeatedly pick partners who lie, cheat, and steal from them and treat them badly, leaving you scratching your head wondering why they don't see it or if they do why they can't change it.
Maybe that friend was you once (I went through that phase.)
Enter tapping. You need a way to re-write the operating system. If your operating system says, "I'm not worthy of love" do you think you'll be attracting a line of loving, generous, kind partners? Probably not. This is what tapping is brilliant at: rewriting the operating script so you're conscious desires, love and peace at home, line up with your beliefs, I'm worthy of love.
Now you're manifesting the loving relationships you've been desiring.
Brilliant!
Tap On
peace,
Penny
