We are all addicted to chemical substances

Surprisingly, even the most clean of in-taking addictive substances among us, are severely addicted and suffer from chemical withdrawals on constant bases.

There is a gland in our brain called hypothalamus that is secreting various protein based chemicals into our body with literally every thought and emotion we experience. That is one of the main reasons that are making our lives spiral in and out of always the same problems and the same events. We tend to always have similar jobs, we tend to have same type of friends, and we even tend to jump in and out of relationships with people that have same behavioral patterns.

There is now a scientific explanation to why it is so difficult to become aware of the things that need to be done to make a positive switch in order to create a much better lives for ourselves.

The protein based chemicals secreted by hypothalamus in our brain as a reaction to every single one of our thoughts are locking onto specific cells in our body. Depending on how we feel those chemicals are various in form and substance. If we continuously feel angry, worried, and fearful or choose any negative emotion you can think of, what we are doing is actually a form of self inflicted abuse. We are creating and affirming a physical, chemical addiction to our emotions or more precisely to chemical substances secreted at the moment of experiencing those emotions.

So what is the good news?

The good news is that we can do everything we need to break the negative addiction patterns that we inflicted upon ourselves. These substances are created as a consequence of what we are thinking. If we change, consciously, the way we think, and we allow ourselves to go through the withdrawal symptoms with confidence, we are literally re-writing the system in our brain into secreting different substances at different moments of our emotions being felt.

If you are continuously worried and afraid, you are attracting the worried and afraid circumstances because your body vibrates those frequencies and the environment is “balancing” your environment into what you feel. But over a short period of time, you actually give your body enough protein based chemicals for worry and fear that your body seeks them even when the matching emotions and thoughts are not there. That is the reason you have a problem when you need to sit down, calm yourself and for example, meditate.

You will hear so many people say, I just can’t meditate. I can’t calm and be still. I can’t control what I am thinking. Two things are happening when they are saying and thinking those things. Instead of actually putting in effort to meditate and calm and to develop the “I can” attitude, they are continuously vibrating the “I can’t” attitude and they are secreting the addictive chemical substance to support that attitude, thus developing the literal addiction to this lacking, weak non-constructive vibration that then again causes the environment to “balance” around them into the lacking, non-constructive way of living.

It is not that you can’t do something. It is that you are addicted to the attitude of not being able to. Any addiction in the universe is curable strictly by the means of thought power and a time frame needed for a brain to rewire into a new, healthy state. Being passive and worried and afraid and angry is a form of mental disease and addiction.

Make an effort to start controlling your thoughts. When you do, you will begin rewiring your brain to feel good. Don’t think destructively because that is what the environment will bring about as a natural balance of your state. If your state is negative, your environment will become negative. Be positive. And when I say that, I am not referring to positivism that simply covers a large mass of negativity and hides it away on the surface. Be genuinely positive, and start by listening to yourself from within.

It is easy. It takes a little time, but it is genuinely easy when you really, really, really want to.

  1. Thank you for this. I helps to confirm many of the things I have experienced, and I believe in the idea the our thoughts define us completely. So instead of the famous line: “I think, therefore I am” which means a person’s existence is confirmed by their personal thoughts, I beleive a better expression of this is “thinking is who I am” which means a person is defined by their thoughts.

  2. Thank you Brandon!

    This is a very insightful observation. If you don’t mind, I actually will use your line for a title of this blog.

  3. Kristina, I like how you write. Send me your email if you feel like chatting sometime.

  4. Thank you. It is always flattering to have a reader. I sent you an email.

  5. Bush goes ballistic about other countries being evil and dangerous, because they have weapons of mass destruction. But, he insists on building up even a more deadly supply of nuclear arms right here in the US. What do you think? Why has bush turned our country from a country of hope and prosperity to a country of belligerence and fear.
    Our country is in debt until forever, we don’t have jobs, and we live in fear. We have invaded a country and been responsible for thousands of deaths.
    We have lost friends and influenced no one. No wonder most of the world thinks we suck. Thanks to what george bush has done to our country during the past three years, we do!

  6. Excellent post! I feel exactly the same way. I t was so well dramatized in “What the Bleep do we Know?”

    I have a related post series entitled “How to Overcome Negative Emotions” that deals with overcoming the addiction to these emotions. See the links below if interested.
