You may not know this, but back around the early to mid-80s, we really saw an increase in powerful messages helping the subconscious mind. Most of them dealt with anti-drug slogans and commercials that were just about everywhere. However, there was one that said, ‘The mind is a terrible thing to waste.’ Well, they couldn’t have brought more right. The power of mind is the most powerful thing in the universe!
Touching on this ‘power of mind‘ idea is the ‘The Secret’. Millions have bought the book, more than that have watched the movie, and by now, the Internet is flooded with people trying to get you to believe in the Law of Attraction, which is that principle laid bare. Whatever you think about in your attitudes will manifest itself in your life, and that includes what happens when you aren’t paying attention to your attitude, too. It works whether you want it to or not.
Take the Placebo Effect for instance. It’s the most intriguing study out there today that looks into the subconscious mind. The way it works is the medical world finds about 10-20 people who have the same problem. Then they tell them they have medicine that is supposed to help the situation. The groups are then split into 2 sections, Group A & B. One of the groups is given the real medicine and the other is given a placebo. This is mind power at work!
While the singular of data is not anecdote, there is some direct experience you’ve had. How many times have you woken up in the morning thinking this was going to be a bad day, or ‘one of those days’. And then had a self-fulfilling prophecy? Welcome to the Law of Attraction on a personal scale. It’s your own mind and your own expectations sabotaging you.
Quantum mechanics talks about the ‘observer effect’ and how information in the system alters the outcomes. While the link between quantum mechanics and The Secret is tenuous, the same guiding principle applies to the Law of Attraction. Your ability to observe the universe alters it.
You’ve probably seen television shows, movies, or even reality documentaries like ‘The Secret,’ that deals with ESP, Telepathy, Remote Viewing, and Psychic phenomenons. Even though many of us believe this to be phony television, it’s actually part of the quantum physics theory. In short, nothing is solid and instead energy that is created by our minds.
If you can use the power of the subconscious mind, you can have a wonderful life. However, it all starts with you and the way you train your mind for the future. Understanding the importance that revolves around this matter is only the beginning to your new found success. So where does it all start? How about figuring out where you want to go.
Start with a goal. Visualize it clearly in your mind. Make it a goal with boundaries; for example, if you’re thinking about money, don’t think of the goal in the context of ‘A lot of money’. Put a dollar figure on it. Make it a real goal, with precision. Once the goal is set, focus your mental actions on achieving that goal. Keep the effort constant; don’t do it in bursts and lags.
It’s also important to understand that people use the power of the mind everyday. Most notably are people like Donald Trump, Bill Gates, and other celebrities who didn’t always have everything given to them. What it comes down to is they went out and took what was theirs. However, it doesn’t have to be a celebrity to see who uses the power within the subconscious mind. Just look at some of your co-workers and you’ll be able to tell who does and who doesn’t.
Just think if you could influence your mind to quit smoking, lose weight, make more money, or by that dream home. They are all great things to think about right? Sure, but don’t let it stop with self-improvement. Maybe you want to take the family on that long needed vacation or just get a new set of tires for your worn out vehicle. Obviously you’re going to have to organize your life a little, but with constant affirmation it will keep you motivated throughout the entire process.
Let’s talk about that dream house for a second. You will give yourself the appropriate affirmation to study hard on how to make this happen. You might look into mortgage rates, what you need to do with your personal finances, or even read that fine print on potential contracts. Then of course you aren’t really thinking about getting a dream home anytime soon, and all of the sudden it’s up for sale. Amazing right? Well, it’s just one example of the power behind the subconscious mind and how it will work for you.
In all seriousness, you can do this with anything your heart desires. Just remember to think about a small go the first time around and then make it happen. If you can clearly define that goal, you will be amazed at the overall benefits.
