The Smile And The Autopilot

Written by on July 22, 2023

When we let the autopilot take over our lives, we allow the way we perceive events to sometimes not be the most favourable.

Our whole internal system is built for survival. Everything that is negative automatically enters our immediate perception. It is as if we had a lens that filters everything we perceive.

This mechanism was repeated so many times that it consolidated these neurological pathways. That is why it has entered the autopilot system.

The point is that we can change this lens that works by default! We can train our neurological system in order to create and strengthen new pathways and have other types of automatic responses. We can create new lenses!

This capacity of our brain is called neuroplasticity. It is thanks to it that we can take control of many reactions and emotions that influence our day, our way of feeling, thinking and acting.

Do you want to start training to perceive your experiences more positively, install and strengthen new neurological pathways that are more favourable to you?

 

Today I leave you with one of the exercises in my POSITIVE LIFE programme:

***Every night when you go to bed think of three situations that made you smile on that day 😊

***You'll find that at first you'll struggle to find even just three smiles in your day 🤔

***Insist! You'll see that with practice it will become much easier and...

*** you will become more aware during your days that you are smiling 🤩 and...

***of the smiles that surround you! 🤩

 

By training the way you perceive your smile and the smiles you encounter, you will strengthen new neurological pathways that will allow you to automatically become aware of more positive situations that bring you pleasure.

Have a good day, full of smiles!
