I am sure you are aware that your thoughts and feelings have a dramatic impact on your life. Whether you believe that your thoughts directly create your reality or just see them as guiding your actions, it is apparent that thoughts and feelings do play a major part in how we live our lives.
However, were you aware that the vast majority of your thoughts are subliminal in nature. They form a part of your belief system and contribute to your attitude and outlook on life.
Perhaps you are one of those people who have witnessed others achieve success but no matter what you do you cannot emulate their success. If this is the case then you certainly have subliminal resistance.
There are thousands of subconscious, subliminal programs that are active within your brain every moment of the day. These are either working to help you or are hindering you - working for you or against you. Chances are, if you're reading this and are not a member of the richest 2% of the planet, then you are like 98% of the rest of the planet and are unaware of these silent success killers.
Perhaps you are not aware that your brain and physiology are hard-wired for success. You were born a person who tries and succeeds. Just look at how you learned the seemingly impossible tasks of walking and talking. It never entered your infantile brain that you could not succeed yet, as an adult, with far greater intellect and reasoning skills; you are conditioned to accept failure and possibly believe it is pointless to even try.
From those early beginnings of being born a winner, slowly but surely, the world taught you how to fail. It is not natural for you to fail. Your natural state is one of success, joy and growth. You can regain that wonder you had as a child and that unshakable belief in yourself and your abilities. All you need do is identify those self-defeating patterns of thought and feeling which silently run on automatic in the background noise of your mind.
If you sit quietly and contemplate your beliefs and attitude towards your dreams and inner desires you will be shocked at just how much negativity you have allowed into your consciousness. It is unfortunate though that the negative thoughts we hold in mind are mostly subliminal, or subconscious, in nature. For the majority of people these are so subtle that they never even realize they have them. If you have not achieved the success you dream of or are not living your life with joy and appreciation for the things you have achieved then you are certainly carrying around a large amount of subliminal negativity.
Now these beliefs and patterns of negative thinking are not your natural state and were most certainly given to you, initially, by well-meaning parents and peers. However, if they are allowed to remain active within your mind they will cause havoc with your life and undo any attempts you make to create the life you desire.
At the end of the day it really does not matter where these negative thoughts came from or how they became a part of your belief system. You just need to identify them and then remove them!
Take a good look at what you have in life right now. This is your demonstration. Whatever you have in life or wherever you find yourself it is a direct result of how you think and feel about yourself and your place in the world. If you are content and like that then you have no need to change anything.
However, if you think there are areas that could be improved or even completely changed for the better then it is important for you to begin to understand exactly how you currently think and feel about those areas.
List all the important areas of your life, relationships, career, finances, health, hobbies and see what comes to mind as you contemplate how these things are now. This will show you how you have been thinking, feeling and creating up to this point.
It is also important to become conscious of how you are viewing yourself and how you are treating yourself internally. Most times when our life is not working in a way we want it to, it is merely because we are disapproving of ourselves in one form or another. Practise giving yourself some approval. Give yourself this approval for no particular reason, just make the decision and do it. It is a very pleasurable experience and can have dramatic positive affects that reverberate through your life.
When you have identified your negative views about yourself and your world and acknowledge that you have created your own experiences through your thoughts and feelings it is just a matter of reprogramming your mind. This can be achieved through such things as subliminal programming, hypnosis, sound technologies or just visualization.
Keep in mind that it is your natural state of being to be a winner. You were born that way and it is only your negative programming that hinders you from being, doing and having everything you desire. So begin to take stock of your beliefs by looking at your demonstration (those things, people, situations and circumstances that now surround you) and start to reprogram them. Practise giving yourself approval just because you want to! You don't need a reason. You disapprove of yourself for no reason most of the time so try turning that on its head for a change.
Take this approach to life and you will transform your world.

What we Believe
by Thomas Sweet, MBA, CH
...can be so true. Countless studies have been done on the human mind in terms of psychology, spirituality, and many other schools of thought. Henry Ford was fond of saying that whether you think that you can, or that you can't, you are usually right. Expanding this further, what we believe has a strong bearing on what we will become. Take the simple example of practicing a skill such as juggling. Maybe we are motivated to do such because not everyone else can. It is a well-known phenomenon of the human psyche to want to excel.
It becomes evident now that strictly positive thoughts all the time are certainly not required to get the job done. There is an unconscious side of us that represents as much as 90% of our ability to make change in our life. Fortunately, this makes it easier to steer our “destiny” so to speak. The practice, as mentioned before was a physical conditioning. The muscles get used to the repetition, and the mind then transitions from focusing on where each ball is in space to a more rhythmic approach.
This is a good observation because our life has a rhythm as well. We all are familiar with how we go through good and bad days, as we like to label them. If you try to define what's good and what's bad, or perhaps say why something is good or bad, you may unnecessarily be complicating the matter. Instead, seeing things happening from a more objective point of view can keep our emotions from getting flustered.
When we have our emotions in check then we can be more in tune with this rhythm or current of life. Rather than having it pull us around, we ride the waves, and actually have time to notice what is going on around us. This is the beginning of becoming aware of your surroundings. When we are aware of the outside, then we can become more aware within. This within is very important because it can objectify and reveal the 90% of our potential that is mostly unconscious.
Then it gets interesting because we begin to understand our beliefs. For instance, maybe you have a habit of eating all the food on your plate and do not know why. This may stem from a belief that when you were younger your parents would punish you if you didn't eat all your food. This belief had become hidden within the 90% of your potential, manifesting as a fact of life.
Now if we go back to the practice of juggling, and begin to understand that within our unconscious there may be hidden beliefs that are holding us back from progressing. What we believe, even unconsciously is what we will become. It is a good time as any to stop running on autopilot. When we begin to understand who we are through our beliefs, not only will our lives become much clearer, but we will have gained a multi-dimensional view of ourselves. With this understanding, we know that beliefs are not merely mental, but also physical, emotional, spiritual, astral, and project outward infinitely into the universe.
 | So we practice, possibly many hours a day, sometimes skipping days. Yet, even though we may get frustrated when we mess up; perhaps thinking that we are actually getting worse, we end up becoming very proficient. I use this example of juggling because I know first hand how tough the first three weeks were until I was able to juggle the three-ball cascade—the starting point of all good jugglers. |
