Your Brain Has Eyes
“Your brain has eyes.”
What does that mean?
“Your brain has eyes” probably sounds a little weird, but let me explain.
Your brain will look for things throughout the day to confirm your feelings about how the day is going.
For example, when you wake up and say, “Today is going to suck!”, your brain will pay extra attention for all the “sucky” things that happen that day to affirm that the day sucks.
If you wake up and say something like, “Today is going to be a great day!”, your brain will look for good things throughout the day to affirm those positive affirmations.
If you have ever woken up with the expectations that the day would be bad, you can likely remember bad things happening that day and saying something like, “See, I knew it would be a bad day!”
If your brain has eyes, give it a pair of positive glasses to look through rather than negative ones.
If you want to have a better outlook on life each day, start your day with positivity.
Saying positive, encouraging things to start your day may not prevent bad things from happening, but it will put you in the right mindset to find the positives throughout the day.
Your brain will naturally look for the negative in life, so we must me intentional about redirecting our brains to look at the good things in life.
