Living In The Knowing
When I am able to believe with all my heart that something I desire will happen, it does. Reading many books and articles on this subject I’ve learned that my thoughts and beliefs create my results. When any sort of doubt and confusion exist in my mind this will affect what I create. In many ways they act as a neutralizer to what I desire.
Brain research is showing that even though we believe our thoughts are pure, many of our beliefs stay hidden in our subconscious. This is a perplexing situation. It indicates that many times we are unaware of our negative beliefs and how they are affecting our lives. It does explain why many people who try affirmations and visioning give up quickly believing they don’t work.
Bill J. Bonnstetter, chairman of the board of TTI Success Insights who is conducting brain research feels affirmations are the answer. I agree and feel this is the reason many successful athletes and people use them. You can too!
It takes courage time and dedication. Below are three steps that can help you.
- Isolate a conscious negative though that plagues you and write a positive affirmation for it.
- Memorize the affirmation and repeat in your mind at least 10 times a day and write it at least 10 times a day for at least 30 days.
- Find a partner to support you in this effort and help you be accountable.
If you think these steps are too hard, then understand you are resisting change.
Hello Arlene,
Thank you for your inspiring words. Positive thoughts change our life; and affirmations can be powerful. It is fascinating to hear and read so much research about the brain and how it connects our thoughts, words, actions, destiny. There is a poem by Frank Outlaw which says it all:
Watch your thoughts, they become words.
Watch your words, they become actions.
Watch your actions, they become habits.
Watch your habits, they become character.
Watch your character, it becomes your destiny.
