DEVELOPING A POSITIVE ATTITUDE
CHANGING THE INNER SOFTWARE FOR BETTER LUCK
SEE ALSO PART 1 POSITIVE THINKING
If we want to change our luck we must firstly change ourselves. The mind is a powerful tool that, like a computer, can be programmed to transform our lives.To do this we must work on ourselves on three levels:
POSITIVE ATTITUDE:
1. SUBCONSCIOUSLY
Rattling around in our subconscious minds are forgotten memories of all our past failures: Memories that go right back to early childhood when your parents told you "You can't do that" or "Be good and behave". This deep set conditioning goes on influencing us right into adult life.
But we can change all that: The subconscious responds to repetition until new behaviour patterns are established. In the East ,for centuries , they have recognised the power of repetitive phrases that they call mantras. Now many people in the west, and in particular in the USA with the 'New Age' movement, use repetition to influence our behaviour in the form of what are known as "Affirmations".
You can buy books of 'spiritually charged' affirmations but there's no reason you can't make up your own. Make up an affirmation for yourself: make it full of imagery with powerful wording. Repeat it to yourself whenever you can such as when you are ironing or doing a dull task and particularly repeat it before you go to sleep. Try ,at first, choosing one from our list printed here but later experiment with your own ideas
SOME POSITIVE AFFIRMATIONS:
WILLPOWER: I will never ever give up. No matter what difficulty knocks me down I will stand again and fight. I will never, never, give up.
HEALTH: My spirit is untouched by illness. My spirit body is perfect. I am whole. Perfect health is mine to have.
WEALTH: Nature is endlessly abundant. All things shall come to me in the fullness of time.
HAPPINESS: It is my divine right to be happy. No event or person will block my path to perfect happiness. I am happy now and will be for all eternity.
POSITIVE ATTITUDE:
2. CONSCIOUSLY
Opportunity often passes us by because we don't plan our lives properly. Salesmen are well aware of the importance of setting goals to reach their sales targets and we can use the same techniques to achieve our life goals. Use your conscious mind to plan ahead. Set yourself short term realistic goals together with long term objectives and put a time limit on them.
Now write a list:
Every day write a 'today list'.Make it realistic and achievable and do the most difficult task on your list first. Also set yourself a goal for the week, for the months, for the year and so on into your future.The tasks will be bigger the further you go forward. For example you may set yourself the goal of having a bigger house within 5 years. Plan ahead and know that what you want will come to you.
POSITIVE ATTITUDE:
3 SUPER-CONSCIOUSLY
Psychics and mystics believe that we are part of a universal mind and that through meditation we can influence the very events that come into our lives. When we meditate we set up powerful forces that go out from ourselves to influence the world around us- so chose your goals carefully and be sure that it is what you really want from life. Our ultimate goal should be to achieve happiness for ourselves and others: Happiness is the highest level of success.
Sit quietly and let your breathing and thoughts become still. Find your quiet inner space. Now imagine the psychic centre in the middle of your forehead opening as a shinning light. Visualise yourself enjoying the goal that you wish to achieve. For example if your goal is a happy family see yourself and your family members all smiling and enjoying each others company. You may want to set your vision in a happy setting such as around the Christmas table or walking on a summer's day through the countryside. Build the image in your mind sense the colours, smells and sounds and know deep in your heart that this visualisation is possible. Use the power of your will to influence the universal mind. This is a very powerful technique that will influence the forces of your life and can transform it for the better. |
