Turn off your Brain and turn on your Heart
I am in the midst of a Transformation of a lifetime....MINE! While I see so much to learn and grow from that other people share its on my heart to share one of my "LEAPS" forward in my Transformation. If there were a way that I could have removed my brain it would have made things much easier.
I allowed myself to put too much brain power into what I was going through. To be quite honest and in my humble opinion this isn't about your head its about the heart. It would be much simpler to put the brain on the shelf and just "feel" your way through things rather than thinking them through. Thats what always got me in trouble was THINKING. Marty gave me an idea.... He said he wrote his weight on himself like a triathlete and so what I did was gave myself some nice little "inked tattoos" on the back of my hand so that I could read it... DONT THINK!!
I used to lie in bed at night sleepless.....agonizing.....THINKING about all I was going through trying to make sense of it all, wondering how I would gain everyones APPROVAL. Wondering if what I was doing was enough, how I could do more, why wasnt I changing.. Truth is this process takes time...all good things do to see the end results but the change and growth also can occur in an instant as well. Back in September Bill wrote
"Patience is not just waiting; it's the ability, maturity, and spiritual poise to wait without it interrupting your inner peace." I wish I had been able to apply this thought to my process and it would have saved me some anguish. I looked at the back of my hands sometimes minute by minute saying SHANE DONT THINK and it took a while to take effect but it gradually mellowed out my mind and be sure that if I let it it was full force talking to me again whenever I let up.
I went from back of the hand to the inside of my wrist so that I got to program myself to just apply it but I turned my hand over to send the message a million times it seems. NOW I am doing pretty good.. I dont think much through and if I do my little brain runs with things just like in the "old days". I am about feeling my way through things and when I/you/we come from the heart I find that the things I do and say are truer to my I am statement and who I am becoming. SO whatever it takes... STOP THINKING WITH YOUR BRAIN AND START COMING FROM THE HEART. I am certain that you will see the benefits almost immediately I sure have felt and noticed a difference in my life.
Are you tired of being misunderstood? Are you tired of not connecting? Are you tired of TRYING... well try not thinking and start FEELING... It sure is working for me

Hey great post. I saw a poster at the Y the other day that said "When God measures man, He wraps His arms not around his brain, but his heart" Guideposts. Take care Shaner
good good good stuff here...
Bravo! And your heart most definitely comes through in your writing. We're on the same wavelength about love. Take a look at my blog from today, called - Elusive Love! :-) LOVE, Jude
hey shane, thanks for sharing this idea with me a couple of weeks ago. i find that i have to stop and tell myself to quit thinking . . . it has been very helpful, thanks my friend.
As young children our minds start being conditioned and alot of the time given false information. As a result our hearts get overrode by the mind. When we unwrap and free our heart and soul of the mind and untruths and feel the authenticity that is US, who we genuinely are, life gets simpler. Great work Shane!
My favorite line of yours was ..."in my humble opinion this isn't about your head its about the heart." I agree 100%
I can see lately how you have not been over thinking but coming more from your heart, and I'm very proud of you my friend. The key is just being consistent and on purpose with coming from your heart and being of service.~Coach
I totally get what you are writing here Shane!!!...I can actually "feel" a transfer of information...when it comes from the heart...it feels natural and REAL...when it originates from my mind...I question myself more...and it just doesn't feel normal...so thank you for writing this...and I hope others can initiate from their heart too! Pray about it!
The HEART. That IS the answer...
