Habitual Thinking
When your habitual thinking is harmonious and constructive, you experience perfect health, success, and prosperity. Of course, the converse is also true. If your habitual thinking is negative or self-defeating, your experiences will reflect that, as well. If you have been feeling not quite at your best lately, perhaps the problem is with what you have been telling your subconscious mind.
Your subconscious mind responds directly to the quality of thoughts you tell it about yourself. It draws upon the power of your own inner wisdom and energy to do this. Your subconscious mind takes its instructions from your conscious mind because that is the part of your brain that tells the subconscious what to do. Think of your subconscious as your creative mind, the one that is in touch with your divine source.
If you believe in good fortune and right action, you will live your life by the belief that those ideas are part of you. As my younger sister once said, "If you want your life to be about certain things, then live your life as though it already is about those things, and pretty soon those things are what your life will be about." You are the captain of your ship; your conscious mind tells your subconscious mind what to think, what to believe, and what to manifest into reality. Once it has your instructions, your subconscious mind gets busy bringing all of your energetic resources to bear in following those instructions. It never sleeps; even when you are dreaming, your subconscious mind is hard at work following the programming you have been feeding into it all day long. This is why the best time to reprogram your brain is just before you go to sleep at night, because you will have just given your subconscious mind its instructions to work on the rest of the night.
For this reason, you literally are what you think about all day. Whatever the quality of your thoughts, you are programming your subconscious mind to create your reality by the nature of your thoughts, ideas, and beliefs. If there is a chance that your own thoughts have been holding you back or dragging you down, select some new ones. Remember, it is never too late to get a new idea.
You have the power to choose to reject any negative statements made by others, and affirm only the good for yourself. This means that you must also watch the negative statements you allow yourself to make as they, too, can become your reality. Train your mind to think from the standpoint of the eternal truths and principles you wish to follow in your life, and your subconscious mind will accept those principles as your new reality.
You have the power to choose health, happiness, and abundance, so why not begin today to do so?
"Our minds become magnetized with the dominating thoughts we hold in our minds and these magnets attract to us the forces, the people, the circumstances of life which harmonize with the nature of our dominating thoughts." Napoleon Hill
