WHAT YOU CONSISTENTLY HARBOUR IN YOUR MIND CREATES YOUR LIFE

————————————————————–

Through the power of your mind, working through your senses, you have the ability to accept or reject any idea or image you get from your environment But most of us embrace the emotions surrounding fear with passionate intensity. This intensity gravely festers and impacts upon the subconscious mind to transform itself later into malicious programs and eventually into destructive, self-defeating habits. These habits in turn, negatively interfere and control the decisions you make, what you can and what you cannot accomplish, and ultimately you entire way of life.

Each person, and that includes you, has free will (your ability to choose how to act or think), but after adopting a certain thinking approach and repeatedly acting in that same particular vein, a habit is formed and you feel as if you no longer have the free will that you used to form it. Now, this habit owns and dominates you.

If you want to change bad habits and improve your lifestyle, then obviously you have to change your thinking, and as you change your thinking, you change the activity of the cells in your brain: Your mind!

I always tell my students: “What you’re doing to your mind, you’re doing to yourself. Be responsible for what you decide to admit into your mind, as this is creating your current reality”.

HOW TO CREATE NEW HABITS AND REGAIN CONTROL OF YOUR LIFE

————————————————————–

o CHOOSE WHAT HABIT YOU WANT TO CREATE. For example, if you’re working in the area of sales, and have developed the habit of not making calls and wasting time, now establish the habit of calling five prospects every single day.

o WRITE OUT OF FIVE BENEFITS YOU GET AS A RESULT OF CREATING THIS NEW HABIT. This might be a new ability to go on vacation, buy a new car, pay your debts, etc. Picture yourself enjoying the fruits of that habit. This is an extremely effective process of self-suggestion and if you do it well and often and consistently, you’ll be sending a message to your subconscious that this action brings you pleasure and very soon it will become part of the program that’s running your life and forming your reality.

o PAY THE INITIAL PRICE: Creating a habit has a price, and it is the price you pay every time you make one: the need for continuous thought and constant action related to the habit that you want to adopt. Commit yourself to this price for at least 21 days and notice, at the end of that period, the new habit will be yours, and you’re ready to move on to the next one.

We are creatures of habit. And these habits, in the form of programs, are running our lives. If you follow this corrective process, you will feel in control and comprehend that you are the programmer of your life events. Then your life will not be the same.

The subconscious is the most fertile garden of the universe. Use the power of your conscious mind to cultivate good habits and I assure you, you’ll reap the fruits of success, prosperity and abundance for the remainder of your days.

4 Practical Creative Visualization Exercises That Work

Sunday, February 14th, 2010

By Harry Warman

  Creative visualization is the skill of creation, management and projection of images in the mind. The practice of creative visualization can improve mental and physical sight.

Since the act of visualization is a cognitive process, it is suited to helping people overcome their negative thinking, which is associated with exacerbating anxiety, depression, low motivation, low productivity, and creative blocks. The long history of esoteric and metaphysical tradition has shown that creative visualization is a powerful tool for spiritual growth and fundamental in the realization of desires.

Like any practice, or skill, the art of creative visualization can be better developed through regular, active exercise. The following exercises will help you fine-tune your creative skills of creative visualization.

——————————

1. THE IMAGE OF A CANDLE

——————————

Sit in a comfortable position, breathe deeply and relax in front of a lighted candle in a darkened room. For a couple of minutes direct your attention to the flame. Then close your eyes and hold the image in your mind’s eye as long as you can. Regularly repeat this exercise to increase the time you can steadily hold a detailed image of the flame in your imagination.

—————————————-

2. THE IMAGE OF AN EVERYDAY OBJECT

—————————————-

Select any object familiar to you. It might be a chair, it might be an apple it might be a bottle of wine. Study its form, making sure the light in the room is bright enough to bring out full detail. Examine the object. Look at it for some time. Then, close your eyes and try to recreate its image in your mind. Try to reproduce this image as accurately as you can.

Once you are able to keep the image of the object long enough in m your mind’s eye, start to manipulate it in your head. Turn it upside down and turn around. Change its shape and color. Convert the image into something quite different. Change it to another object you’re familiar with. Practice with a variety of common objects.

Take the objects with which you have already practiced during your visualization. Choose one of them, and try to project it into your environment with open eyes. Alternate between open and closed eyes. For example, if you chose an image of an apple, can see it as if it actually lies on the bench top? Are you able to work with this picture? Can you turn the apple upside down or clearly visualize cutting it into pieces?

———————————

3. THE MEMORY OF OTHER SENSES

———————————

Sit down, breathe and relax. Listen to a simple sound, such as a clock or fan. Remove the source and try to hear the sound in your mind. Repeat with aromas and tactile experiences. This work will help you develop the ability to reproduce not only visual images but other sensory memories entirely in your head.

4. THE PHOTOGRAPH

———————–

Select a photo. Look at the picture, trying to capture it in complete detail. Close your eyes and create a mental memory of the image. Now ‘build yourself’ into the photo. Visualize yourself in the photo, first-person. Pay attention to feelings. What would you see, hear, feel, taste and smell? Are you alone or with other people? Let the experience unfold as you study it.

Creative visualization is an age-old technique, which, like any skill can be developed and strengthened through regular practice.
