I would also add not repeatedly retelling others upsetting stories from your past. You are not in the past, focus on the now & future in spite of what happened or was done against you or others. This we do have some control over. 🤗
For maybe 13 years, less ideal scenarios had really taken a toll on me. I’m resilient but around year 9 it really took its toll. This channel and other resources (and therapy) are really a huge help in my journey regrounding myself in positivity and health.
Completely resonates. At work, the environment was increasingly and profoundly stressful over several years due to work load. My brain started automatically running anticipated dialogs with co-workers and clients, point/ counterpoint exchanges, practicing for conflict and feeding the stress. It took awhile to figure out to interrupt those dialogs with the mantra, "There is no conflict here, only love." Amazing relief.
I had that same. Exact. Thing! I was always so stressed because of it. I started to capture my thoughts. Visually capture the thought (however you want to imagine doing that) and destroy that thought in my mind. Then right after that I'd tell myself, I don't need to think that way anymore. I think positively. And after a few days it worked so well that I noticed my jaw didn't hurt anymore(because of clinching) and I noticed those intrusive thoughts were like 98% gone!
Thank you, I definitely have been on the right path intuitively then and I'm going to keep fighting the only worthwhile fight in one's life, to reclaim our minds and thus our power in the path of our lives and
Wow, what a profound but simple, as well as important little video. I feel like this could be a game changer. I have some of the conditions you nentioned. Thank you!
I think pause is a keyword. Taking a pause before reacting; "does ruminating into this serve me or hurt me?" and being so blunt with self keeps ignorance from being on the table. In other words, we choose not to hide from what it is we are perpetuating into our experience. Instead, we see blatantly what it is we can choose as a response, and therefore have awareness of the direction we are choosing to follow.
This is so interesting and helpful! Thank you for sharing your story. This Reminds me of Dr. Caroline Leaf’s book Cleaning Up YourMental Mess. Also like many Proverbs in the Bible that tell us that whatever we choose to focus on will impact our bodies and our lives positively or negatively.
I've come to the same conclusions, also while recovering from Lyme and ptsd. It takes effort, one has to consciously and purposefully work at it, but you CAN retrain your brain. Excellent video, subscribed. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Hi, I have been suffering from chronic pain since almost 2 months now, thinking only the worth can happen made me kinda disable, it was only yesterday that I knew that all this suffering was caused by my brain and today I found your video and it confirmed what I was told, so yes, I am starting to believe that I do have a choice, it feels good to feel that way. Thank you🤩
Excellent points made, meditation redirects the focus away from my negative and inflammatory thinking. Great video series, it helps give me resources to deal with my emotional and physiological issues. Thank You!
Thank you so much for clearly and succinctly explaining this stress response and it effects on the brain and body. With the brain fog I have it's difficult for me to follow and understand some things, especially new or foreign content. I have been working on on myself and this will help me to better understand how PTSD from childhood, etc. can be alleviated as well as chronic inflammation. Please continue your videos, etc. It must be so helpful for the many people who come across this information.

Åi thank you on this video too. This helpes me explain to the people who does not understand, but wants to, how I cope with dramatic events and still can be me in my life. This is the metode I did since childhood ~ by just trying to cope, go on, be me ~ I somehow naturally did not just go in to an imaginary world (i did that sometimes, but that didnt feel right for me) but instead ended up distancing myself slightly from the dramatic thing that had happened and the hurt and finding my inner safe spot or doing movements with my toes or so, or thinking, like this example, on an ok place I could be or go. A huge thank you for putting this subject out into the air 💛 It has been actually a bit traumatic in it self to always be met by "Oh you think you have healed or gone on from this and that trauma, but you just dont see that you cant do that so you are misleading yourself" . I understand of course, that it can be difficult to know that it is possible and that, sometimes at least, the mind and body does it naturally and really do go on with a better understanding of self and okay healed again. The memories are still there, but the sweating, chock, playing dead or so, is gone 💜💚 and life can be good again. Thank you 🍃
thanks for the reminder. For some reason I've had the crystalline understanding and awareness of this science, and have stretches where I employ this awareness of attention rationally, yet occasionally it seems like there's something else within at play- perhaps, it's a dance with the primal undercurrent running through us all. sometimes I get thrown off by what seems to be what tide the hormones are in- when it comes to the "choice" in the space between sometimes we tap into what seems like dna driving the bus . practice, remembering, attention discipline is a hard road in this world. but nothing good comes easy, eh? neuroplasticity is real! amen
The mind does an incredible job creating its own imaginary problems and illusory threats. It's conditioned to do so. Mindfulness meditation helps a lot. I like the workbook called 30 Days to Reduce Anxiety by Harper Daniels.
I'm so happy to find you. I was just given a massive amount of prednisone by a Doctor for poison ivy, but, after I caught her mistake (8 ) days later, I was asked if I had M.S. I now out of work, "I work full-time with children that are medically fragile and have all kinds of syndromes and I also work part-time with an elderly man. Now, I'm at home waiting to feel better. Told by Doctors, "there is nothing they can do for me." I have to wait it out, the Doctor told me. I feel so down, scared, and my brain and nervous system are completely effected significantly. I need my life back.😭
@Kathleen, I am SO sorry you were harmed by a medical error. :( The same thing happened to me many years ago (Floroquinolone antibiotic at too young of an age). If only I had known about brain retraining back then! I hope you’re better soon! ❤
As I have learnt more about the characteristics of being in a dorsal vagal freeze response, I feel increasing relief and optimism as well as self-awareness, that the situation that I am in is understood and that I can learn techniques and ways of thinking to end it. One part of my self-awareness if that I have an absence of dopamine. I am now consciously seeking to understand which types of activities boost my dopamine and to choose to do those.
Thank you. I'm going through this. I am sure I'm going to use this the next time this happens. I will let you know how it goes. Thank you. Keep up the good work!!👏
Thank you so much for this video. Most nights I wake up with anxiety , watch the clock and get more anxious. I am going try the exercises u mentioned and will let u know .
I got into manifestation July 2023 after a little breakdown from triggers I didnt know I needed to deal with. If nothing else I am so grateful for everything I've learned on positivity and becoming a better version of myself, it's not been easy but it's worth it. Going Vegan 9 years ago was a massive move in becoming a better version of myself and I didn't die because I changed my diet so everything I'm doing from that moment is helping me evolve into a person I really like and I'm very proud of.
I feel like im NEVER going to get over this chrinic Lyme disease its completely changed who i am. Mentally an physically. I feel like i have great days weeks months then i go back into another flare. Its almost like i cant control it. Thank you for your video
I got a beautiful little book called, Jesus is calling you. (Swedish) every day, there is a little message to remind me to focus on him. It really helps me to practice what you are talking about. Thank you! ❤
It's as if God already knew this and that is why there are so many verses about meditating on the Lord and taking thoughts captive to renew your mind in Christ.
i have PTSD due to a family 'event', followed by several more 'events'. i then used the following 15 years struggling with accepting what had happened. after 20+ years, i have come to a stage of 'I dont care, there's nothing i can do about it'. i am still alive, and my health is slowly improving. i am exhausted tho, and find it VERY difficult to find pleasure and/or happiness in anything. so close to the edge, every minute of the day. help!
Hello, Here is the blog post we wrote on this topic. All of our sources are listed in the blogs as well. re-origin.com/articles/rewire-your-brain-for-happiness/ You can also book a call with Ben here: re-origin.com/book-a-call/ He will be glad to answer all your questions :)
This was very powerful. I’m intrested in your past. You talked about you were unwell and recovered. Where is the link for this. I would love to hear your story.
Thank you, very to-the-point, helpful info/video….How can we find your TED Talk that you mentioned? I don’t see any info here to go on to find it--TED Talk title, your full name,…You might want to add this info permanently to your list of links in the description box, along with your Instagram, free 2 chapters of your course, etc. Just an idea. Cheers:)
Pls help me I'm constantly ruminating over a horrible mistake I made retiring!.. I dwell negatively on the misinformation I was told, and hindsight of how this could have been prevented. I suffer 24/7, and now Stressed and have depression and anxiety. Is there any way to stop these negative thoughts?.. and one day let go.. ?🙏
Totally understandable! Something like bed bugs is extremely stress inducing and puts us in a state of fight or flight while we try to solve the issue. A great way to refocus is to remind yourself that you are capable of overcoming challenges and that you create moments of calm amongst the chaos. Make space for rest, deep breaths, and celebrating yourself!
@re_origin it was very traumatizing and I even got ptsd and ocd (cleaning) from it. Now every speck of dust is distressing. How can I train my brain to forget this event or is there even a way to do that?
See comment below ow, but I still suffer from horrible inflammation at night (w a hx of DM peripheral neuropathy and Rheum Arthritis) at cortisol peak time over and over till am. Any ideas for help?
Many of our members experience reverse cortisol. This is something I struggled with myself. The issue is systemic and multifactorial and must be addressed as such. Our brain retraining program at www.re-origin.com is all about re-establishing your body's ability to self-manage and self-regulate.
Because I have had a near death illness and ot left me with likely brain demylination, which is rare and no one can give me answers, AND I am a retired RN with Masters, I cant stop clicking off complications and researching ad infinitum and get stuck there in an endless cycle downward. I instinctively when arriving home from hospital incessently player solitare, somehow now, I think this just came to me as an intentional direction away from the health anxiety I was suffering from. Its not gone, but God, Jesus and the abiltiy to gain positivity by watching prayer you tube videos, and various anxiety psych professional, Dr Russ Kennedy, Andrew Major were most helpful w mindfull meditation, EFT, box breathing etc. I created my own combination of breating techniques when I discovered a neuropsych md with a research focus who stated the parasympthetic nervous system is best calmed when exhalation is held longer than inhalation instead of other vagal nerve techniques. It looks similar to your breathing technique without snapping fingers etc. I'll try it. Im concerned about using so much anxiety training that it becomes a negative thing or expectation and wont work and become a self perpetuating cycle. My positive thoughts now involve God and Christ and I reinforce that with yt videos, prayer and studying the Word.
Do you think this would work as a type of cognitive therapy? My daughter suffers from chronic migraine and her neurologist wants her to start cognitive therapy but I’m having trouble finding one in our area that is taking new patients.
This could certainly be helpful. Of course, we must always note that issues are usually multifactoral and require a combined approach that addresses the root cause. This is what our program aims to do. As the wise doctor once said, "don't treat the condition. Treat the person... and the condition will naturally subside"
Everyone can do this! If it feels impossible right now, it's likely because your current thought patterns and responses to problems are deeply ingrained. The good news is that with practice and consistency, it does get easier over time. :)
Abusive parents abusive spouse toxic work environments abusive bullying coworkers, negative news media & entertainment. - but just be positive and ignore the truth.
Well, no.. remove yourself physically from abusive parents, even if they're already dead, and abusive spouse, which can be dangerous and even life threatening, toxic work environments and bullying coworkers. Yes, ignore the news.. it mostly happens without you. Sounds like you need to try to set an hour every day to separate from the negativity and look for avenues of change. Be positive, but it sounds like your personal truth is negative and you won't get far living that truth.
So why is it again that we encourage anyone and everyone to go to therapy and talk about all the "traumas" in life? Does this not also lead to rumination and, in turn, a rise in systemic inflammation? In our modern society, are we not doing more harm than good by encouraging mental health practices that come with a bagload of iatrogenic effects?
All emotions are important, and it is all depend how much the Brain is inflamed. Some People cant put awarness otherway, because of to High cortisol, ect.. Always find help, and good nutrition is the key! Your brain cant think "positive" thoughts with toxic food in our body!
I just discovered you and you have a very simple but deep explanation on the subjects thank you 🙏
I would also add not repeatedly retelling others upsetting stories from your past. You are not in the past, focus on the now & future in spite of what happened or was done against you or others. This we do have some control over. 🤗
Yes, I need to work on that 😊
I am a licensed professional counselor and these approaches are consistent with psychological theories!

I wake up, thinking God I can see that I’m still here and have an opportunity to see another day. Gratitude is the way to go.
It makes my day when I count the bees in our garden.
I love bees! 🥰💛🐝
How many today? Bees is good peoples 🐝
I got out of a severe depression with this method. Thanks for the reminder though!
What a blessing that was!!!

Having bed bugs pushed me over the edge. How do I refocus on something like that?
Totally understandable! Something like bed bugs is extremely stress inducing and puts us in a state of fight or flight while we try to solve the issue. A great way to refocus is to remind yourself that you are capable of overcoming challenges and that you create moments of calm amongst the chaos. Make space for rest, deep breaths, and celebrating yourself!

Hi ive been british my whole life is it still possible for me to train myself to be positive?
It sure is! One of our coaches is british and she's very positive. :)

This is what our program aims to do. As the wise doctor once said, "don't treat the condition. Treat the person... and the condition will naturally subside"
What is being described here is basically cognitive behavioural therapy and mindfulness.
Please without Music so I can listen to it and change sth !!🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I would like to know who is the man in the videos. His name?
Ben Ahrens
I can't listen to this as the music is too distracting...
Everyone can do this? For me it seems impossible to focus on other thing until the problem is not solve...
Everyone can do this! If it feels impossible right now, it's likely because your current thought patterns and responses to problems are deeply ingrained. The good news is that with practice and consistency, it does get easier over time. :)
💚
The Secret,,,like selling ice to eskimos
Abusive parents abusive spouse toxic work environments abusive bullying coworkers, negative news media & entertainment. - but just be positive and ignore the truth.
Maybe ignore the news?
Well, no.. remove yourself physically from abusive parents, even if they're already dead, and abusive spouse, which can be dangerous and even life threatening, toxic work environments and bullying coworkers. Yes, ignore the news.. it mostly happens without you. Sounds like you need to try to set an hour every day to separate from the negativity and look for avenues of change. Be positive, but it sounds like your personal truth is negative and you won't get far living that truth.
