Gaining Confidence in Your Ever-Changing Mind

How the Ten Commandments of Self-Brain Surgery™ lead to hope

Over the past ten weeks, we have covered The Ten Commandments of Self-Brain Surgery in great detail. And last week on the podcast, we discovered how they connect to scripture.

Today, I want to convince you that you have tremendous power to:

• Change long-held limiting beliefs

• Get unstuck

• Overcome grief, trauma, tragedy, or any other massive thing in your life

• Defeat overwhelm, anxiety, depression, and stress

• Unlearn harmful mental habits

• Recover from addiction

• Break through to a higher level of performance in any area of your life

The power is already wired into you, and learning the ways in which neuroscience and faith smash together is the key to deciding to stop thinking you’re a helpless patient and believe that you are a trained and capable self-brain surgeon.

This is the mental shift that following the Ten Commandments of Self-Brain Surgery will help you make. It is life-changing, and it brought a thousand people to their feet in San Antonio three weeks ago when they decided to move from the left side of this picture to the right side.

Next week we start the training, and I will teach you specific operations for many of the issues we face in life. You will gain confidence that you can change your mind and change your life, and you will feel the chains dropping off as the things that have held you back begin to yield to your mental force.

Say this with me:

1. I have decided to stop committing self-malpractice (1st Commandment, Romans 12:1)

2. I no longer believe that everything I feel is true, since I know that feelings are really just chemical events in my brain (2nd Commandment, Psalm 139:23)

3. I do not have to think every thought that pops into my head, since I know that 80% of them are untrue. I will biopsy them instead before reacting to them automatically (3rd Commandment, II Corinthians 10:5)

4. I do not have to react like I’ve always reacted, because I am not just my brain (4th Commandment, II Timothy 1:7)

5. I will love tomorrow more than I hate what I feel right now, so I reject the easy numbing of self-anesthesia and instead choose the work of healing (5th Commandment, Matthew 6:34)

6. I don’t have to wear myself out or overcomplicate things anymore, and I will stop making an operation out of it, since I know that my nervous system operates best in a calmer, more rested state (6th Commandment, Isaiah 30:15)

7. I understand that I inherited some of the things I used to believe could define my future, but now I know that even my genes will obey my mind, and my future- even for my family- can be redefined by the power of epigenetics (7th Commandment, Ephesians 5:15)

8. I am not stuck with the brain I have, but I am determined to take care of my brain and learn to make it work in the best way possible, which is a great act of worship (8th Commandment, Proverbs 4:20-22)

9. I know that I am getting better at what I’m doing, because my brain wires and automates whatever I tell it to focus on, so I will begin to get better at things that make me become healthier, feel better, and be happier (9th Commandment, Philippians 1:6)

10. I know that what I choose to think about becomes my reality, because thoughts become things, and I am going to think about better things from now on (10th Commandment, Proverbs 23:7)

Self-Brain Surgery is a lifestyle. It’s not a metaphor, it’s the mechanism of how you take control of your thinking and make your brain do what you need it to do instead of believing it’s in charge of what you do. It’s a position of power and strength, and in knowing that God did not give you a spirit of fear, but of a sound mind (II Timothy 1:7).
