Do I Look Fat In This Stress? Part 2

-
Let’s start with our thoughts. Scientist have found that our thought create proteins in the frontal lobe of our brain. Stressful thoughts create unstable proteins and each time we return to those stressors, chemicals are released into our bodies. One of those stress chemicals is cortisol.
Like I said yesterday, cortisol has it’s purposes, but prolonged stress response is detrimental to our health and well being.

The good news is that our optimistic, positive thoughts create stable proteins in the frontal lobe of our brains. Each time we return to those thoughts, they also excrete chemicals into our body. Endorphins that boost our mood shower us.

One of those chemicals is called dopamine. When dopamine floods our system, all of the learning centers of our brain are turned on. The learning center for memory, for accuracy, for creativity, for
athletic ability, for comprehension and many more.

When these learning centers are activated, studies done by Harvard and Shawn Achor have found that we can function with 31% more productivity! WOW!
We also know that our metabolic system and assimilation can improve anywhere from 40-60% when we are in Relaxation Response rather than Stress Response.

Can you see how important is is for us? So how do we Shift from Stress Response to Relaxation Response?

It all begins with our thoughts. Are you aware of what you are thinking? 

An easy way to become aware is to do a thought download.  Just write everything.  It can be phrases, words, questions or sentences. 

Our human brain has 60,000 thoughts every day.  Let's start supervising those thoughts.  Let's just notice them. 

In the next post we will learn to view our thoughts from a different perspective.

Vitamin D - The Divine Vitamin -D The Divine.   This is a Vitamin you don't take.   It is one you receive.                  Because the Divine is the source of power behind all powers, the chemistry created when we experience the Divine supersedes all known laws of the body.                   There's no question that faith plays a paramount role in life with The Divine. Yet in order to "have faith," we must have something else first. First we must learn to   trust              The nature of God is unchanging; The Divine wants only what is good for us.   It is true even if we are not doing well. It doesn’t depend on our capacity to do something, it’s really about His ability to do something for us. By trusting Him, we get a confidence from...

Your Future is Your Property Your future is your property and it is built one thought at a time.   How does it feel when you read this?   We are quickly approaching the beginning of a new year and we can create a year like no other for ourselves.   Here are a few steps I recommend for creating your future: Think about what you are thinking.  How are you thinking about you?  If your daughter or son had a friend that spoke to them like you speak to yourself, would you think they were a good friend? It is important to understand where we are with our thinking. Just like using GPS, we need to know where our starting point is.  Now that you have your beginning location, think about your destination.  It is your thoughts that will get you there.  If you want to lose some weight or organize your home or build your relationships, the way you think is the way to get there.  Speaking of The Way, how does HE s...
