Summary

Have you ever caught yourself thinking, "I'm always tired… I can't handle this stress… I'll never get ahead…"?

On today's show, we explore why these repeated thoughts can become more than passing ideas and how they begin to rewire your brain.

You'll learn the surprising science behind the ancient idea that "as you think, so you become," and why your mind doesn't distinguish between truth and repetition.

We'll also talk about how these mental pathways form (through neuroplasticity), how they can hold you back, and what you can begin doing to create new patterns that support your goals.

Join me on today's Cabral Concept 3580 to discover how to break limiting thought loops and start rewiring your mind for greater peace, resilience, and success.

Enjoy the show!

0:00.0	Welcome to the Cabral Concept, where board certified doctor of naturopathy, Dr. Stephen Cabral,
0:05.7	shares with you exactly how you can reverse aging, take back your health, and live a life
0:10.8	full of energy and passion, with new 20-minute episodes every single day to keep you healthy
0:16.6	and engaged. Now, here's your host, Dr. Stephen Cabral.
0:27.4	Welcome back, everyone. Can't wait to share with you today that your brain believes whatever you repeat. There's an ancient saying that goes like this, as you think so you become.
0:34.2	But did you know that thousand, many thousand-year-old saying was actually proven to be
0:38.6	true in 1949 by a man called Donald Hebb. It's now called Hebb's Law. And what it said was
0:46.7	the basis for neuroplasticity. Cells that fire together, wire together. And that means that
0:54.0	whatever is repeated enough becomes a dominant belief
0:57.7	in your mind. Now, we're going to get into what exactly that means good and bad, but I want to

1:23.2	become your beliefs. Whatever you believe becomes your behavior. That's the actions that you take.
1:30.5	And whatever you do repeatedly becomes your life. Now, we've shared individual parts of this on the
1:36.9	Cabral concept on our Monday shows before, but this show is so important because we have to
1:41.6	understand, I'm going to bring this full circle in the next couple weeks, we have to understand is that if we're always telling ourselves negative things like
1:49.2	I'm not good enough, I'm not smart enough, I have a difficult time, you know, earning money,
1:55.5	I'll never get well, no one of my family's ever been well. All of these things your brain and your subconscious
2:01.7	believe. And then those actually become patterns. Think of it this way. Your brain is looking
2:07.7	to automate a lot of the systems of life. You are taking in every single day millions of bits of
