I’ve been working at personal change, both for myself and others, for at least a few years now.  If there’s anything I’ve noticed that’s a real pitfall when one is trying to change, it’s giving up.    And everyone does it.

I mean, we’ve spent our lives trying to avoid the things we’d really like to overcome.  If we didn’t want to avoid them, then they wouldn’t be a problem in the first place!  It would be great if it were simple enough to just immediately get over the problem and not have to sweat it.  Even with 3D Mind, though, sorting out your mind, behaviors and life in general is still a lot of work.  It’s easy to fall back on the behaviors we’re trying to change.

That’s life.  Unfortunately, it’s hard to examine ourselves in a completely objective way like an engineer programming a computer.  In a way, we ARE the computer, so any programming we do on ourselves can be muddled by what’s already there.  That just means it takes more work to see through our own mental crap to get to the other side.

“Balancing” is one of the key 3D Mind terms used to describe the process of changing a limiting belief or emotional drive.  Tom and Kim state that it’s a matter of balancing between the more primitive reactive parts of the brain and the relatively newer creative/adaptive part of the brain responsible for reason and planning.  But what the heck does that mean, anyways?  And since it’s coming from a couple of people who are NOT doctors, aren’t they just making things up?

Well, no, it turns out.

Researchers in London have found that different areas of the brain are dominant depending on how close a threat is.   I personally like how this article points out that a healthy response is the result of a balance between these two areas of the brain.  Now, the article states that researchers are suggesting that people with anxiety disorders have an imbalance that leans toward an overactive reactive part of the brain, but I would suggest that perhaps all emotional problems are like this.  After all, it’s not an on/off relationship between these opposing areas of the brain.
