Your thoughts are a catalyst for self-perpetuating cycles. What you think directly influences how you feel and how you behave. For example, if you think you’re a failure, you’ll feel like a failure. Then, you’ll act like a failure, which reinforces your belief that you must be a failure.
Your Beliefs Get Reinforced
Once you draw a conclusion about yourself, you’re likely to do two things; look for evidence that reinforces your belief and discount anything that runs contrary to your belief.
Someone who develops the belief that he’s a failure, for example, will view each mistake as proof that he’s not good enough. When he does succeed at something, he’ll chalk it up to luck.
Consider for a minute that it might not be your lack of talent or lack of skills that are holding you back. Instead, it might be your beliefs that keep you from performing at your peak.
Creating a more positive outlook can lead to better outcomes. That’s not to say positive thoughts have magical powers. But optimistic thoughts lead to productive behaviour, which increases your chances of a successful outcome.
For some people changing those thoughts patterns can be very difficult because they are deeply rooted in past experiences that have forged neural pathways. Biofeedback helps to forge new pathways. It utilizes operant conditioning and reward stimuli to elicit positive and lasting behavioural changes to specific brain functions. This is typically achieved with targeted stimuli that encourage activity through certain neural pathways while reducing activity in others. With regular biofeedback sessions over time, the brain actually retrains itself to support the rewarded brain activity and reduce maladaptive psychological and behavioural patterns.
Biofeedback is training in self-regulation, which is a necessary part of healthy brain function. This type of training allows the central nervous system to function more optimally and supports a more reliable connection through those pathways that relate to healthy and balanced cognitive function. Each individual undergoing biofeedback training will receive a program uniquely customized to their particular needs and goals. This treatment plan can only be created once a comprehensive understanding is reached through the process of brain mapping.
