RISING WOMEN EXPERT ADVICE...

I have an injured leg. I’ve heard that positive thinking and visualization helps but I have negative mind chatter that stops me. What can I do?

Negative mind chatter indicates the need for you to make changes. Find a new notebook and write down your negative mind chatter, fears and limiting beliefs as they come to mind. Beside each one rate it from 0 as neutral to 10 as the worst. These negative thoughts slow you down from healing and reaching your goals. Keep this list close to you so you can continue to work on it.

Begin re-programming them by thinking of specific past experiences of negative mind chatter. Listen closely to the internal words; sound and tone. Where is it located in your body? Imagine it moving to your throat area. Make it caring and supportive with the words: “I feel, I think, I want, I choose”. Notice how your experience changes. Imagine yourself in the future going through the steps quickly. Seeing, hearing and feeling how positive and easy it is.

Redirect your unconscious to heal your leg with visualization. See a picture of beautiful, clear healing color surrounding your leg. Imagine each breath in with healing life energy flowing through your body and healing your leg; hear healing thoughts and words. Feel the sensations of your healing leg. Or you can see, hear, feel, accept and believe it is healed now!

If a negative thought appears say, “Cancel; Cancel that thought” and reframe it with a supportive affirmation that is positive, personal, powerful and present. Choose ones that support healing and replace old beliefs, such as, “I am optimally energetic and healthy!” Talk and listen to your body, ask it what it needs. Listen to your body, care for it, feed it healthy foods and move it. Use visualization, affirmations and other positive tools many times each day.

Remember that negative mind chatter is an indication of what is going on in your unconscious. Continue working on your list of limiting beliefs and fears knowing that issues rated at -1 to -3 are easier to change on your own. Issues of -4 to -10 are deeply ingrained in your unconscious mind and often require outside assistance.

Your unconscious mind simply wants to support and take care of you. It hears old limiting beliefs like “I’m not smart”, and it creates those results because it thinks that you want to “not be smart”. It proves what you believe. Take care
