You Childhood Dictates Your Adult Life

👶 When we were embryos in the womb, our brain was being programmed by the outside world. Any stresses and strains 😰or love and laughter 😍 of our mother would affect our psychological and biological development. When we came out of the womb, the programming continued. No doubt, it got even more complex as a whole host of other people and experiences came into play.

Day by day, our young brains learned about the world by absorbing what was happening around us and reacting accordingly. These experiences became our blueprint for life. They became our beliefs, emotions and actions. They became the lenses through which we would see the world. They became the lens through which we would see ourselves. 👀

What's in your blueprint? ❓

Some people's blue print contains a lot of love, security and support 😃. Other people's contains a lot of shame, fear and rejection 😓. Many people's contains a bit of both. As you can imagine, some of these make for a more powerful and joyful life experience than others.

Whatever your blueprint, it's important to realise that a blueprint is just a blueprint. It is not a one and only truth. It's just a version of something. A version that you were handed and had no choice but to take. Maybe you got a good one. Maybe you didn't. I don't know what rules govern the dishing out of blueprints.

Whatever the case - no one's blue print is set in stone. The brain is not hard wired. We can unlearn stuff. We can learn stuff. We just have to put in the work. We have to get off autopilot and take the controls. It's time to direct our own flight. 🚀
