Self Talk — Secret Mind Control!

Folks, this is not theoretical philosophy, this is a practical day to day way to drastically alter your life for the better.

Read what Denis Waitley said in his audio course, “Seeds of Greatness:”

—–

“The second best kept secret of total success is that OUR MINDS can’t tell the difference between real experience and one that is VIVIDLY and REPEATEDLY imagined. Understanding this secret of the power of the imagined experience is the key to understanding human behaviour.

Many of our everyday decisions are based upon information about ourselves which has been stored as truth, but which is really a combination of hearsay from family friends and peers, actual past experiences, and information we read, listen to, and view on TV.

During every moment of our lives, we program our imaginations, or we allow others to program them, to work for us, or against us.”

—–

Self talk is something we all do every day without realizing it! These are little comments and conversations we have with ourself at an almost unconscious level. Here are some examples:

You just fumbled and dropped and broke a glass: “Wow, I’m a real klutz” you think to yourself.

You’ve been trying for a long time to figure out how to use your computer on the internet: “I’m a computer illiterate” you say quietly to yourself with guilty pleasure.

You wake up feeling stiff: “I’m growing old already!” you mutter.

You make a mistake adding a column of numbers: “I’m no good at math” you whisper to your unconcious mind.

What’s the result of all this? Say the above responses often enough, day after day, and you become a klutzy aging person who can’t do math or use computers!

You see, the UNCONSCIOUS MIND is always listening, and it’s like a trusting puppy that takes whatever you say seriously. It doesn’t censor the constant input from you and the environment and people around you, it assumes that your CONSCIOUS MIND knows what it’s doing and is sending it real facts.

As Denis Waitley explained above, your mind is like a waiting computer, and it accepts programming all day long, whether you realize it or not.

Once you know and really understand this vital process, you can turn it to your advantage.

Here are the positive responses to the above examples, responses that will program your mind to higher acheivement in life rather than lower expectations:

“I’m paying more attention to everything I do and am becoming more agile every day!”

“I’m putting more effort into learning my computer and pretty soon I’ll be surfing the net like a pro!”

“I’m exercising more so my body gets in shape and feels younger!”

“I’m getting better at math every time I do it, practice makes perfect!”

What’s the result of all this? Your unconscious mind supports you in exercising your mind and body more, you find yourself getting more healthy and capable, and able to do what you want to do.

You will continue to do self talk the rest of your life, whether or not you think about it. It’s up to you to turn it into a positive force that will enable you to become successful and accomplish things in life that others believe to be impossible.

So become aware of your self talk, and also of the talk of those around you on a daily basis. Whenever you find yourself doing negative self talk, stop immediately and replace it with positive self talk. With some practice, you can use positive self talk every day to transform your life.

Stop associating with people who give you negative self talk, find people in your life who will support you with positive self talk! Seek out books and courses that give you positive ideas, and spend at least a half hour or an hour a day reading those books or listening to tape or CD life affirming courses. Become a new person, the one you really want to be!

Enhance Your Life By Having A Sense Of Purpose

Published by Other Authors under Life

Researchers believe that developing A SENSE OF PURPOSE is a strategy which can ENHANCE HEALTHY LIVING. The basis for their theory comes from studies carried out on 135 women in the age group 61-91. This group’s EMOTIONAL and PHYSICAL WELL BEING were evaluated by rating two types of indicators.

HAPPINESS evoked by POSITIVE experiences and A SENSE OF PURPOSE and a high SELF ESTEEM and REWARDING RELATIONSHIPS.

Results indicated that those who had A SENSE OF PURPOSE also displayed better PHYSICAL FUNCTIONING ABILITY. They had a tendency to weigh less, had a lower level of inflammatory cytokines which increase the risk of arthritis, displayed evidence of better SLEEP PATTERNS, lower blood sugar levels and HDL levels (good cholesterol) was more apparent. In the group which only displayed HAPPINESS the benefit was only that of a lowered cholesterol level.

What is A SENSE OF PURPOSE? There are many definitions.

Having an influence over others in work, in your community, within a family setting, or on a wider basis. (OXFAM, HELP THE CHILDREN, AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL.)

 

Being recognized and VALUED for your contribution. This also implies being VALUED by yourself!

Being RESPECTED by others.

Having A SENSE OF IDENTITY.

Recognising a sense of ACHIEVEMENT from what you do.

Having A PURPOSE helps to build CONFIDENCE and SELF ESTEEM.People who lack PURPOSE are often unhappy and lonely.
Examples of this could be the person who has retired from work. He may well have lots of time on his hands and be involved in a range of recreational activities but remain unfulfilled as there is no SENSE OF PURPOSE. Involvement in these pursuits simply helps to put in his day.

How often have you thought about what you would buy or the problems that may be solved by a lottery win? Yes, we have all dreamt about this and there is nothing wrong with having DREAMS .They can open up our minds to possibilities and sometimes lead us to pursuing GOALS and a course of ACTION in their pursuit.

Yet, how often do we hear about people who have had this stroke of luck and discoverthat their lives are not necessarily enhanced in any meaningful way by this, or are even worse of because of it. Headlines in local press have told us about the families who have broken up after winning money. People who have packed in their jobs and gone on shopping sprees and drinking binges. Men and women who long for the company of others who are not solely interested in them for what they get. The world in our eyes may be their oyster but what they may find diminished is a sense of CHALLENGE…

There is some truth in the saying that if you have to work hard for something you will appreciate it more.Sometimes the achievement itself is not the most rewarding aspect, but the process involved in its acquisition.

 

What provides someone with A SENSE OF PURPOSE will vary from person to person. For some it may simply be taking care of another close to them. Others may choose to travel, get involved in regular EXERCISE/HEALTHY EATING, doing college courses. The options are limitless. Which ever you choose, your commitment to this will also benefit you by keeping your MIND ACTIVE.
The chances are that he/she will also be more OPTIMISTIC and HOPEFUL as a person .Having something important to aim for encourages people to be less likely to give up when things go wrong and to look for any learning opportunity instead.
Having A SENSE OF PURPOSE tends to make people more involved in taking care of themselves. They will pay attention to their health. Involvement with other people means that they are less LONELY and that they also have other people around for support. Peers can also be useful for giving you feedback and helping you see things about yourself which may otherwise go unnoticed.
