You Must Change the 148,000 Nos In Your Subconscious to Yes
What does it take to succeed? How can you move forward -
no, take a quantum leap forward - in your achievements, in
realizing your dreams?
According to some research, a person who grows up in an
average, reasonably positive home is told "no" or told what
he or she cannot do over 148,000 times before they hit
their 18th birthday! The number of "yes'" or encouragement
on what they can do is far smaller than the "no's",
"shoulds" and "shouldn'ts" (which are all "no's").
Well, think about it. The results you achieve in your life
are a result of the actions you take. So what determines
the actions you will take?
Let us first discuss the power of practice and repetition.
We all know that repetition creates habit. Our brains and
physiology learns through repetition. We are pattern-making
and pattern-following creatures. Practice makes perfect.
Whether you like it or not, the more you repeat something,
the more it becomes part of you.
Repetition is programming. Repetition is programming. And
148,000 "no's" is a lot of programming!
Repetition creates programming, which in turn creates
beliefs, which in turn determine your thoughts and
emotions, which in turn determine your actions, which in
turn determine your results.
Have you noticed how you tend to think the same kind of
thoughts over and over again? Studies show that we have
about 50,000 thoughts per day, and a whooping 90% of them
are repetitive! Like an old, tired record. And remember,
repetition creates patterns, habits. You are literally
hypnotizing yourself with your repeated thoughts.
Other research shows that 77% of everything that most
people think about is negative, self-damaging, hindering,
and counterproductive. Now, remember, your results come
from your actions, and your actions come from your
thoughts, and your thoughts come from your beliefs, and
beliefs come from your programming (what you repeatedly
tell yourself or get told).
It goes even further than that. Your subconscious mind
controls almost everything about you. For example, it
controls your autonomic nervous system. What is that? Here
is what the Microsoft Encarta encyclopedia says: "Autonomic
Nervous System, in vertebrate anatomy, one of the two main
divisions of the nervous system, supplying impulses to the
body's heart muscles, smooth muscles, and glands. The
autonomic system controls the action of the glands; the
functions of the respiratory, circulatory, digestive, and
urogenital systems; and the involuntary muscles in these
systems and in the skin. Controlled by nerve centers in the
lower part of the brain, the system also has a reciprocal
effect on the internal secretions, being controlled to some
degree by the hormones and exercising some control, in
turn, on hormone production." Which all means that your
hormones, energy levels, actions and so forth are
controlled by the subconscious mind. If you have told
yourself that you are clumsy, the subconscious will work
with your hormones, motor skills, and so on and make you
act, move and talk stupid. If you have told yourself that
you don't fit in social situations, you will find yourself
standing in the corner not fitting. Whatever you say, boss.
Your subconscious is like a computer. Whatever you program
into it, it makes happen. No questions asked. You are the
boss, and whatever you say, happens.
Your imagination, your thoughts, what you perceive, what
you don't perceive, what you see and what you miss, how you
act, what you feel... these are all determined by one
thing: your programming, what you repetitively tell
yourself (and what you repetitively got told or observed
during your youthful formation years).
So how do you take the quantum leap, how do you step out of
the box of your own thoughts and see beyond it. How do you
program yourself for success? Well, the same way you create
all programming: practice. Repetition. You have to not only
find what works positively for you, but you have to
practice that new positive way over and over until it
becomes part of you. Positive thinking and self-help advice
will not work unless you make it permanent for you by
practicing it over and over. Your entire physiology has to
be rewired; your neural pathways (which create pattern and
memory) have to be redrawn. All this happens by practice.
Repetition. Repetition. Repetition. Practice. Then one day,
like with everything else you ever learnt through practice,
you just find yourself automatically doing it! It becomes
Ok, now how fast and to what extent can you grow your
consciousness within one lifetime? The quick and dirty
answer is that there is an average rate of growth, but
there are no limits. According to Dr. David R. Hawkins,
M.D., Ph.D., in his bestselling book Power vs. Force,
people on average tend to increase their consciousness by 5
points in a lifetime (on a scale of 0 to 1000). So if you
were born at a consciousness level of 300, you tend to get
to 305 by the time you die. But that is an average that
includes billions of people. There is nothing to limit
anyone except their own choices. Many are on record for
having achieved 100% or even 2000% increases or more, where
they are literally renewed and are different in just about
everyway. A transformation happens.
So if you wish to leap forward, know that nothing stops
you. But also know that you have to leap forward in your
mind first. You have to re-write the negative programming
that is keeping you where you are. And re=programming is
done best through acting in the new way and practicing that
over and over until it becomes part of you. The more you
open up, let go, allow, trust and not resist or defend your
old ways, the faster you will move forward. Practice. You
can even use helpful tools like the one that I personally
use called Sculptor (see it at
http://www.imagesofone.com/h/a/). Whatever you do, practice
until it becomes you. And it will happen automatically, you
will find yourself anew.
