Dr. Bruce Lipton described a very interesting experience. In India, small elephants’ one leg is tied to a pole with a strong rope. The animal tries to free itself, but of course it is not strong enough. Since then, the animal associates the rope with enslavement and something stronger. When the elephant becomes a strong animal, and its leg is tied with a rope- it doesn’t even try to break free! In fact, the animal could easily break the rope, but it will never know about it, because the associations are so strong that the rope itself frighten the elephant.

This example perfectly demonstrates how our childhood experiences and associations affect our adult lives and limit us.

For example, if someone had a problem with his peers who teased him at school or simply wasn’t so popular, in adulthood he keeps off the company and doesn’t even try to meet new people. Such a person, unfortunately, will never find that he can be the life of the party and have many true friends.

If someone in childhood had learning difficulties, bad grades, and maybe even heard from teachers unsasy comments about his intelligence, then in adulthood such a person gives up learning new things e. g. languages, because he assumes in advance that this will not work, because in his subconscious there are still those limiting beliefs indoctrinated in childhood.

Interestingly, in the UK 300 millionaires, who work thier way up to success, were surveyed. 44% of them had dyslexia and 61% were not perfect students.

This means that if you determine your intellectual skills based on your school performance, you may be deprived of the chance to become e.g. a millionaire. What do you say?

• If our environment affects how our body reacts, you have to take care of it. First of all, cut yourself off from toxic people, and start surrounding yourself with people, things and activities which you like and which motivate and uplift you.

Take this seriously, for example, on social media stop following people who pretend to have the perfect life and drive you into complexes, and start following those who share knowledge and motivate you to act.

• The latest research shows that 90% of all diseases are caused by stress. Learn how to deal with stress and try to avoid it at all costs (this is combined with the first point, toxic people =a lot of stress)
• Think about the limiting beliefs you have learned about yourself in your childhood and try to get rid of them. As a child, you were shy, but you dream of being a more open person? Start working on it, think of yourself as a brave person, take small steps e.g. try to tell one story while you are with other people and your body will adapt to a new environment.
