Reclaim Your Power from the Need for Approval
By Kelly Granite Enck
Are you living for others' approval? Does your mind frequently churn with thoughts like, Do they like me? What do they think of me? You’re not alone. This constant worry is not you—it’s your brain processing data from your past environment. Let’s unravel the science behind this and explore how you can transcend these patterns to live fully in the present moment.
Your Brain: A Data Processor
From childhood, our brains absorb data like a sponge. If a parent constantly worried about others' opinions, this concern programs the child’s brain. Later, when a thought like What do people think of me? pops up, it’s merely your brain replaying old recordings. These thoughts trigger the fight-or-flight response, causing unnecessary stress.
The Science of the Silent Brain
To break free, we must see the brain from a higher level of consciousness—a silent brain. Silence in the brain isn’t emptiness; it’s a gateway to pure presence. When your brain is silent, you stop reacting to mental chatter and start creating consciously.
This state is supported by quantum mechanics, which reveals that our focus shapes reality. When you worry about others' opinions, you give energy to those fears, reinforcing them in the quantum field. By contrast, when you set an intention—for example, to enjoy your time with a friend—you align with the present moment, creating an outcome based on deliberate focus.
Why Thoughts Create Suffering
Thoughts shape emotions, feelings, and even physical sensations. When you dwell on what others think, you generate stress, tension, and unease. This is the “reactor brain.” The silent brain, however, is the “creator brain.” It’s blissfully present, fully engaged with the now, and free of suffering.
The Power of the Present Moment
Quantum physics also shows us that the present moment is the only true reality. Inner dialogue distorts it, creating unnecessary stories and judgments. In silence, you connect with the flow of life, untouched by false narratives.
Steps to Quiet the Brain and Take Control
- Recognize the Source: Understand that your thoughts about others’ opinions are old recordings, not your true self.
- Set Intentions: Before any event, set a clear purpose. This shifts your energy from worry to creation.
- Practice Silent Brain Training™: Learn how to quiet the mental chatter and live in the present moment. This practice transforms the brain, enabling you to master your focus and actions.
Be a Deliberate Creator
The next time you find yourself wondering what others think, shift gears. Focus on the experience you want to create and the joy you wish to bring to the moment. Remember, in the quantum world, attention shapes reality.
