DAY 6
THE POWER OF AUTO-SUGGESTIONS (AND HOW TO USE THEM)
As you have discovered, the core of this prosperity program consists of the daily use of auto-suggestion to reprogram your mind. There is a simple reason for this: it works! Employing positive self-talk on a consistent basis can work miracles in your life.
The reason for this is surprisingly simple, and I have alluded to it already. Your subconscious mind will faithfully draw into your experience whatever you consistently think about. This has been stated in many ways before: “you are not what you think you are, but what you think, you are!” and “you are what you think about all day long!”
Again, you do not have to believe any of this if you do not feel comfortable, but you should try these ideas out, at least for these thirty days, because they work on practical, physical levels. You are learning highly beneficial psychological tools in order to enjoy your life on a more satisfying level! Do not let your doubts, your fears, or your skepticism get in your way. Simply try it.
The truth is that you are already using hypnotic suggestions on your mind 24 hours a day. If you think thoughts such as “I am not creative," "I am not happy," "I am poor," "I am unhealthy,” or any other negative statement, you are training your subconscious mind to bring these ideas into your reality. You are doing it constantly. The trick to controlling your life is to fill your mind with statements which are conducive to creating the life you desire.
The most simple place to begin is with affirmations. Not only do they have the power to instantly transform your life, but they will stimulate your mind to find ways to make these suggestions real for you. If you tell your mind “all of my needs are met,” you will instantly change your mental outlook, and this will encourage you to strive to find concrete expressions of your new beliefs. Positive affirmations are constructive directions for your mind. You have the power to use affirmations to set the course of your life. Use this power!
Take five minutes right now and feel the truth of these words:
I AM IMMERSED IN THE INFINITE ABUNDANCE OF THE UNIVERSE. ALL OF MY NEEDS ARE INSTANTLY MET. I AM GRATEFUL FOR MY WEALTH AND PROSPERITY. EVERYTHING IS GOING MY WAY.
TAKE ACTION: Today’s action continues from yesterday. Did you find a simple statement of positivity with which to focus your mind throughout the day? When faced with negativity did you remember to use your phrase?
If you did, congratulations. If you did not, please do so today. It is vitally important to have a positive, simple habit such as this with which to focus your mind.
“Without goals, and plans to reach them, you are like a ship that has set sail with no destination.”
