As I get older, the more convinced I am that mindset is what sets us apart in life, and these Dr. Joe Dispenza quotes and affirmations will convince you to rewire your brain and alter your mindset to life.
Who is Dr. Joe Dispenza
Dr. Joe Dispenza is a neuroscientist famous for his TedX talks centered around rebuilding our brains’ neuro-pathways in order to form new habits and attitudes in our lives.
Embed from Getty ImagesIf you haven’t heard his story, he was a chiropractor who suffered a life-altering bicycle crash. When told by doctors that he needed a surgery on his spine and that he would be in a body cast for a year, he declined the surgery and took up a meditation practice.
He was back on his feet 9 weeks later, and he decided to devote his life to the study of how our brains work, how thoughts inform our habits, and how practices like meditation can be life-changing. His results have been absolutely staggering and I wonder why he is not more well-known.
(Check out where he talks about his accident and the mind-body connection here.)
I actually stumbled across his TedX talk by accident about a year ago, and it was one of the greatest accidents of my life.
In the video I linked above, it was early in his research journey and he was still very much in the mindset of acting from science instead of from the energy. He discusses just how our thoughts create a map for our lives.
He shows video of neurons literally forming a pathway, thoughts happening in real time! He posits that these thoughts, worn over and over again, like a pathway, can become habits and part of our lifestyle.
It’s how negative people are always so negative, and positive people are so positive all the time–it is literally written in their brains.
I’ve started reading his books, and I have been blown away.

Dr. Joe Dispenza Quotes
Here are my top 15 favorite Dr. Joe Dispenza quotes that will inspire you to build a new, balanced mindset, heart coherence, and perhaps a new life!
Joe Dispenza Quotes On the Brain
“Learning is forging new connections. Every time you learn something new, your brain physically changes.”
“Nerve cells that fire together wire together. And as you begin to learn new information, you biologically wire that information into your cerebral architecture.”
“Your thoughts are incredibly powerful. Choose yours wisely.”
“If you take what you intellectually learned in your thinking brain and you apply it, you personalize it, you demonstrate it, it means you’re going to have to modify your behavior in some way. And if you change your actions and you do something differently, you’re going to have a new experience.”
“Routine lulls the brain to sleep.”
Joe Dispenza Quotes On Change
“Change as a choice, instead of a reaction”
“Most people wait for something outside of them to change how they feel inside.”
“Most change starts with the simple process of something outside of us altering something inside of us. If you begin the inward journey and start to change your inner world of thoughts and feelings, it should create an improved state of well-being.”
Joe Dispenza Quotes On Emotion
“A memory without the emotional charge is called wisdom.”
“What makes that intention have life is when you combine it with that emotion.”
“We’re addicted to our beliefs; we’re addicted to the emotions of our past. We see our beliefs as truths, not ideas that we can change… We’ve in fact conditioned ourselves to believe all sorts of things that aren’t necessarily true—and many of these things are having a negative impact on our health and happiness.

Bonus: 19 Inspirational Joe Dispenza Affirmations
I absolutely love the way that this article at Thrive Global explains the process of affirmations and how they can rewire our brain:
Setting up the right affirmation will begin to change your brain little by little. As the neuroscience adage goes, the neurons that fire together, wire together. You will make these neurons begin fire together by creating affirmations that build mental associations. Take the time to control your brain toward what you want, rather than leaving it to chance.
Lerone Graham
In other words, an affirmation practice can actually help engrain those neural pathways into our brains. What kind of a person do we want to be? Do we want to be more positive? More healthy? More compassionate?
Affirmations physically alter your brain to make those positive, healthy, and compassionate thoughts a reality for you!
Another mind bomb from Dr. Joe Dispenza, affirmations can be potentially huge in rewiring our brains! I used his teaching to help to form my own affirmations practice, to build healthier habits in my life, and to dig myself out of the hole of depression MANY times over the past 2 years.
What does Dr. Dispenza say about affirmations specifically?
He says that we can repeat affirmations over and over again without any change in our mindset or vibrational energy.
Why?
Because we have to feel them.
The most important component of affirmations according to Dr. Dispenza is that we attach elevated emotions to our affirmations to truly make them change our elevated state.
When we wire our brains to feel those good emotions, like compassion, understanding, gratitude, and love, we are building the new pathways to experiencing those feelings instead of the negative ones like anger or sadness. And those negative emotions vibrate at a much lower frequency than positive emotions.
So in order to truly make these “Joe Dispenza affirmations” work, you need to get into a state of elevated emotions and heart coherence!

I created—through the quotes above from Dr. Joe Dispenza—affirmations for daily practice.
Practice is the keyword here, and Dr. Joe Dispenza is clear in his messages that new, positive thoughts need to be repeated again and again in conjunction with those elevated emotions in order to build them into the structure of our brain and vibration.

This site is unusable with all the ads. The content never fully loads. Also the "anti-copy" plugin disables the links in the header.

Hi Glenn! Thank you for the feedback! I’m sorry that you find the ads annoying. Ads are my primary revenue for my site so that I can cover all costs and provide it free for all readers. Blog costs include domain, hosting, newsletter services, image editing software, site maintenance and services. Print magazines have an average ad density of 50%, and my site currently runs an ad density of about 20-25%.
Pagespeed is dependent upon many factors, including your internet, computer vs. tablet vs. phone, etc. You may also consider which browser you use. I find that most sites (my own included) runs slower when I'm on Google Chrome and I have multiple tabs open. You can also consider clearing your cache.
After a quick check, I was unable to find any disabled links (a variety of browsers and devices, and incognito windows). I'm sorry those were not functioning well for you. I'll keep an eye out for future issues.
Thanks for reading! I hope you have a great day!
