The MultiLaw of mental exertion

The law of mental exertion means that the brain is capable of adjustment every time it is subjected to exertion. This is because of the brain’s neural plasticity, which enables the brain to rewire and reconnect the neurons that support you in achieving your goals.

A way to stimulate this change in wiring is by visualisation. I’ll explain this in more detail later in this article. Visualisation (conscious imagination) gives new signals to the brain. But the same also happens when we think differently, acquire new knowledge, or adopt new and strong convictions. The great thing about this is that you will experience the positive effects in different situations. Because, as with other MultiLaws, the application of this MultiLaw has a self-reinforcing effect.

The multifunctional aspect of this MultiLaw is that mental exertion or a new way of thinking reconditions your body. In other words, you are creating new feelings and this triggers a chain reaction in your life. From the quantum principle perspective, we call this a quantum reaction. This is because life always resonates with your inner being, the things you experience and your reality. So whenever we make adjustments within ourselves, we are also activating something at an invisible level – something that aligns with whatever we are adjusting. Often enough, even a small adjustment can result in something big.

Your habits determine your future self

Changing your life can be hard, yet it is easy enough if you know where to start. You can be bogged down in habits that actually don’t bring you anything. If this is the case, realising that your habits determine who you will be in the future is crucial.

So if you can visualise the person you will turn out to be in the future and you see someone you don’t want to be, it is time to take action.

And this doesn’t have to be hard. The first step you can take is mental exertion, which you can repeat again and again, and this can work extremely powerfully (and surprisingly fast).

Such mental exertion can consist of certain mental exercises, such as?visualising?a future image of the person you would like to be, or repetitive affirmations that help you become your ideal self.

Trust your positive thoughts

Just doing these exercises, however, is not quite sufficient. To really achieve the effect you’re after, you need to trust your?thoughts[1]. So the visualisation has to make you feel good about yourself. It has to make you happy and content. After all, that is how you would feel when someone you trust completely tells you that you are going to achieve your goals.

This same trust in your positive thoughts also helps you process the information that shapes your future image, and this may affect the choices?you make.

In short, trusting your?positive thoughts?is crucial to convince yourself that you are able to achieve your goal. They will have you make the right choices and your behaviour will reflect your visualisation and affirmations. As such, applying the MultiLaw of mental exertion resonates through the rest of your life and will soon become multifunctional.

Working with affirmations

Working with affirmations is one of the exercises you can do to be your?true self. Affirmations like that can be thought, spoken out loud, or written down. For example, you can write down your core values and what matters to you in life. Research shows that mental exertion combined with affirmations can have a positive effect on your health, education, and your relationships. And this positive effect can last for months or even years.

Working with affirmations, and noticing that your environment responds positively to them, creates a positive feedback loop. So first, you use mental exertion to become more aware of your values and to apply them in your daily life. This already results in changes within your brain. But when your environment also responds positively to your true self, the changes get firmly embedded in your brain, making it easy to stick to these new patterns[2].

Working with visualisations

Visualisations offer another way to use the MultiLaw of mental exertion to bring about changes in your life. Research shows that visualisations help to adjust behaviour and, consequently, achieve your goals. The nearer your visualised goal, the bigger the chance that your?behaviour will change[3].

If you can visualise yourself five years from now, why not try to visualise where you want to be next week? You will see that success?can be achieved much faster than you think.

These are just a few examples of how the Multilaw of mental exertion exercise can change your life for the better.

And I can think of many more examples, but they will be the topic of another blog.
