Your Brain is a Tool

Consider your brain a tool and let me ask you this, "Do you use it to destroy or do you use it to create?" What I mean by that is do you use it to destroy out of fear that in which you desire or do you use it to create and as a motivator to push you to keep doing the action steps necessary to reach your goals? This is something I have had to work on in my life.

I have been a person of worry and stress most of my life until recently. The thing that I have found most useful along my journey is the realization that my brain just like many other things is a tool. Depending on the holder of the tool, it can either be used for creating or destroying. If this way of thinking is then applied to how I choose to use my brain, then of cours I want to use it to create.

This pushed me into using this for so many things, self talk, working through old behaviors and patterns, and to truly start to bring that which I could see so vividly in my heart to reality. When you are in this worry and stress pattern it is sometimes hard to see through the other side. I had to literally retrain and work my "brain tool" to create new patterns that were in alignment with how I wanted to move forward.

In the past, I would get so excited about so many different things I was doing or working on and then it would just fizzle out. Mostly because I let the opinions/possible opinions of others dictate in some ways how I used my "brain tool" and sometimes it was due to the "obsticles" placed in my path. This then lead to self sabotage without sometimes even realizing it. Things would be great and then the slack would start to set in.

This week has been one of learning new things and navigating through the unknown. I could use my brain and create all of the "Ughs" OR I could use it to create the motivation to keep trying and pushing through. Learning how to do a blog, then learning how to get your blog to people, then creating links that the social media platforms keep saying are malicious and against guidelines, to you name it. All of these things in the past would have stopped me in my tracks.

It has taken a lot for me to push through these fun learning lessons, but I know I will get there and it is still progress towards creating what I want. This journey is a new one to me with new dance steps that I can either dreed learning, or have fun learning. I choose to keep learning with fun in my heart knowing it will all work out as it always does. Especially when I can get out of my own way and use my "brain tool" as a creator instead of a destroyer.

My intent as always is to share my life in the hopes this helps someone else to rethink of how they go about life and in this case using the brain as a tool. We are all capable of so much in this life, and deserve more than our brain allows us to believe at times. So keep moving forward even when life is throwing you new dance steps to learn. It will in the end create a beautiful and unique masterpiece.

Much Love & Light Always!
