We all talk to ourselves inside our head! What’s really going on in there is very important to what your external life is like. If your inner chatter tends to be negative you may be getting the results of that in your everyday life. Most of this inside talk goes on without much attention on our part and tends to flow along the lines of mundane ideas and basic everyday needs.
This inner chatter can waste a lot of energy that could be diverted to more productive ideas. Inner focus on things like bills, shopping, responsibilities, and what’s for dinner can easily lead to negative thoughts and feelings. Basically it takes your focus away from the here and now and keeps you in a state of past or future thinking. Any disappointment in your past or worry about the future will instigate negative thoughts and perpetuate that negative energy into your external daily life!
You can begin transforming your thoughts with simple exercises that help focus your mind. This reprogramming process is easy and will work for anyone with daily practice. Start by doing this in the morning before arising or at night just before sleep. It’s at these times that you will be in a relaxed and receptive state. Don’t worry if you don’t believe the statements at first, the idea here is to get the subconscious involved, for it does not know the difference between fact and fiction and will put into action whatever is presented it by repetition.
Pick two or three areas where you would like to see positive improvements in your life and select a short phrase to describe your self as you would like to be. Such as:
I am 100% confident.
I am full of joy and happiness and deeply loved.
I am in complete health and wholeness.
I am totally fit and highly energetic.
Then spend 20 minutes just repeating these statements over and over. Imagine what you feel like now that you have achieved this new state. Selecting short concise statements makes it easy to repeat and set the new program in your mind. Try doing this exercise during the day for a few minutes. Do it just before falling asleep to have the greatest impact. You will notice that in just one week you will automatically hear these thoughts going though your head which brings this state closer into reality for you!
If you are not that great at committing to an exercises program, whether it be physical or mental, you may want to try out some of the great success CD’s recommended on this site. All you have to do is relax and listen and the program is installed for you!
