Life is filled with experiences and when we have an experience that is filled with emotions it creates a deeper, stronger pathway in our physical brain. If we have an experience that does not affect us emotionally then the pathway is weaker and it may not last very long. We continually have new experiences and are constantly creating new pathways. This is why you can hear a good sermon that resonates with you but if you do not dwell on it or take notes a day later you don’t remember what it was about.
Emotionally charged experiences have a greater effect on our thoughts and our lives, like the time someone hurt your feelings, since the pathway starts out deep we have the tendency to dwell on it more, which creates an even deeper path, so if we have a thought that we recall often or rehearse in our conscious mind, the subconscious mind writes that thought deep into our program and it eventually it might become part of our personality.
That is how the depression snuck up on me, little by little each day I was thinking sad thoughts and rehearsing the experiences that had occurred, I did not realize I was reinforcing the depression with my thoughts. Now I know better so I do better!
Our thoughts originate from our parents, through our DNA, and the emotions and thoughts of our mother while she is pregnant. Later we are influenced by our upbringing, and our thoughts change based on our life experiences. We run many programs in our subconscious, and we have been created with the ability to rewrite these programs. We were created with the ability to choose what we think about, what we dwell on, what we reinforce in our minds, and the ability to rewrite our programs to change our lives!
