Neurons & Anxiety

Neurons that fire together, wire together.

If your brain fires off two neurons, or perhaps two networks of neurons, at the same time then they will begin to become wired together.

For example, when you see or think of the Nike logo, what phrase comes to mind?

“Just do it.”

These two networks, the Nike logo and the phrase “Just do it.”,  get to know each other. Once intertwined they start firing together becoming a single network.

Soon, you may find that one naturally goes with the other!

How might this relate to anxiety?

Consider for a moment a young girl in school.

• During show and tell she becomes nervous.

• In high school when presenting to the class she becomes extremely nervous.

• In her first job, she has to present in a boardroom and becomes so nervous that she begins to have a panic attack.

Through conditioning this woman’s brain has wired two things together- presenting to a group of people and being nervous  to create one mental circuit!

Presenting to group of people =  Feeling nervous

Does this sound familiar?

How can we create positive change?

Fortunately there are many ways to interrupt this conditioning and create new circuits in your brain so that you feel empowered with the ability to move forward feeling more comfortable.

I may teach you simple yet amazing neuroplasticity tools.

We may use hypnosis to anchor in some wonderful resources such as feeling calm or comfortable.

And the more you use these tools and bring in those resource anchors the more neurons and neural networks will be recruited and working for you!

Self-limiting Beliefs

Do you have self-limiting beliefs that you would like to change?

These limiting beliefs may come about for a variety of different reasons. These beliefs may have you:

• Doing something you don’t want

• Doing something more often than you want

• Doing something less often than you want, or

• Not doing something you want!

---

Self-limiting beliefs may be formed in a variety of different ways. Perhaps consider where your belief may be rooted.

1.       Thought + emotion = belief

At some point you may have had a thought that was combined with an emotional “energy” or “force” behind it creating a belief.

 

2.       A belief created from emotionally charged unconscious “one time learning events”

These are often, but not always, created during childhood before the age of seven and are a by-product of emotionally charged moments. These moments may, or may not, include another person. The result is often a child who makes a decision about him/herself or the way the world works.

In some cases, if there is an adult involved when a limiting belief is installed during emotionally charged moments, and that adult is often a parent, teacher or authority figure.

 

3.       A belief virus

At times a new belief may happen as a person is exposed to another person’s thinking process. This may originate from a family member or friend.

For example, someone with a self- limiting belief financially may have heard from a parent while growing up that money doesn’t grow on trees or that you have to work hard for your money.

You can change your self- limiting beliefs by tapping into the power of your subconscious mind. Hypnotherapy provides a wonderful modality to create positive change thereby empowering you to:

• Stop doing that thing you don’t want to do

• Do that thing less often

• Do that thing more often, or

• Start doing that thing you want to begin doing!

Are you curious about how to begin this process and update those old, outdated beliefs?
