First, I was a Warrior. Then a Worrier.
´Worrying´ is like ´Negative Visualisation´.
I used to worry a lot when I first started accumulating money.
Strange how that works. All of a sudden, you fear losing what you have. 😃
There’s more to this than just “positive thinking” – we’re talking about hard science here.
Your brain doesn’t know the difference between reality and imagination.
– Internal Impact
Your thoughts directly influence your stress hormones
Negative thinking tanks your energy levels
Mental state affects your decision-making ability
And…..Your energy is contagious. (The ripple effect)
What effect do you want to have on others?
– Physical Impact
The placebo effect is so powerful that pharmaceutical companies spend millions controlling for it
Elite athletes use visualization because it works – their muscles fire in the same patterns whether they’re physically practicing or mentally rehearsing
– External Impact
Your Reticular Activating System (RAS) – think of it as your brain’s search engine – filters reality based on your beliefs.
Just like when you buy a new car and suddenly see that model everywhere, your RAS shows you opportunities that align with your thoughts
This is why some entrepreneurs spot golden opportunities while others miss them entirely
– The Quantum Connection:
Scientists have proven through the double-slit experiment that the mere act of observation changes how particles behave.
Think about that – consciousness itself affects physical reality.
What This Means For You:
• Every morning meeting
• Every team interaction
• Every business decision
They’re all influenced by your mental state and beliefs about what’s possible.
Bottom Line:
Your thoughts aren’t just thoughts.
They’re the blueprint for your reality.
The science is clear: what you focus on expands.
Not just metaphorically – literally.
As business leaders, we’re in the reality-creation business.
Everything around you was first made in the mind (imagined).
Why not start with the most powerful tool we have – our minds?
It´s not only in business….this applies to your Life in general.
This week: Watch your thoughts. Shine a light on them.
They’re creating your future more directly than you’ve been led to believe.
Happy Monday!
