How Does Your Mind Create? by Michelle L. Casto, Ph.D.

 

Knowing how your mind works is a great advantage in the modern world

especially since it creates your reality.  

Whether it is a happy and successful reality is up to you.  

Successful (or effective) people know their own minds and recognize the relationship between their thinking and their reality. 

 

They make spiritually smart decisions that are in alignment with a higher power source.

Successful people look within for guidance.

Unsuccessful (or ineffective) people have no clue what they are thinking and see no relationship between their thoughts and their reality.  They make unconscious decisions that are disconnected from a higher power.  Unsuccessful people look to other people for guidance. 

A major problem in the world today is that human beings have not developed their thinking skills. 

Here's a thought to ponder (I love brain twisters).

Just because you have a thought does not mean you are thinking!

Thoughts fly through our heads all day long (to the tune of about 65,000 a day, and 95% of those are thoughts we have already thought, and those are negative and limiting). 

In this mode, we are on autopilot and going nowhere fast, circling the same territory again and again.

Thinking involves a conscious and deliberate act to monitor and choose the thoughts you want to think.

It involves asking yourself questions so you can gain insight and revelation.  It is kind of like conscious dialoguing with yourself and a higher power.

It's been said many times in the field of self-help that we become what we think about all day long.  So when we allow unconscious and negative thoughts to run through our minds all day long, guess what our reality is like?! 

Not a pretty picture. 

Speaking of pictures, are you aware that your brain thinks in images?

Let me demonstrate....

If I were to say--- think of a horse. 

You would think of a horse

If I were to say--- think of a purple horse.                      

You would think of a purple horse.

 

 

If I would say--- DON'T think of a horse.

You would still think of a horse.

See what I mean!

So what are you telling yourself-what to do or what not to do?

Follow me..

If you are saying to yourself:

Don't make a mistake.

Your subconscious cannot see "don't" so it "sees" mistake and that is what you get. 

In fact, research shows the brain cannot "compute" words like no, don't can't, not and yet we use them all the time.

(To do your own research, keep a log of the number of times you and those around you use these words in our daily conversations!)  You will be astonished.

I was--- especially when I did my job on the junior high campus:  "Don't run. Don't talk."  "No talking. "
Ha. The kids do just the opposite! 

 To grow new neural pathways in your brain,  you may want to think/say something like this:

I am completely focused and get my work done ahead of schedule.

Now your brain can go to work on how to make that happen.      

To change results/reality, you will need to think empowering thoughts many times so it can sink in!

So if you are really interested in learning to overcome your "default thinking mode" and move into enlightened thinking mode, consider getting a copy of my Dissertation called the Science of Success..it will save you thousands of hours of research on the power of the brain, why coaching works, and everything you need to know in order to be more successful and happy. 

You know that all great thinkers have great teachers.

I have studied the BRAIN and I can help you understand yours and train it to work for you and not against you.  Watch your email for two new programs you may want to upgrade your brain (and your life)  this summer.

Everyday Enlightenment Lesson:See the Silver Lining

I am going to say something radical.
Stop looking for what is wrong in the world and start looking for what is right in the world.
Why?
Because when you change the way you see the world, the world you see changes.

The idea that thoughts are things is being scientifically proven with the advent of quantum physics. Without getting too deep here, suffice it to say, that what you think becomes present in your reality experience.

With all the dis-empowering thought waves floating around the world lately, I want to remind you that fortunes were made during the great depression and that there are always silver linings for those who believe that there are silver linings.

Again, what you believe is what you will see.
You may have heard that the Chinese symbol for crisis means both danger and opportunity.
And if you follow my logic here, you can choose to SEE the opportunity!

What I have seen and experienced from my 10+ years as a Professional Life Coach is that many times change comes from what looks to be a breakdown in the system, but what is really occurring is a making way for the new, higher, and much better experience.

In my book, it is always a good time to learn and improve ourselves, but especially during times of economic slow down, because those wise enough to recognize this as an opportunity to learn and grow, and who invest the time and energy in their personal development will see the results in the near future.

With personal development, you are planting seeds of prosperity now, so you can enjoy the profits later.

To empower you to think outside of the FEAR (false evidence appearing real) box, I am inviting you to become a Very Enlightened Person community member.

To become a V.E.P. member, all you have to do is visit my e-store, select the book(s) that you need to read, purchase it, and not only will you get a soul-shifting and experiential book that will benefit you immensely, you will also receive for FREE a book on money, wealth, and true prosperity.

Here are some quotes from some of the books you will find at the e-store:

"Try to remember that the picture you think, feel, and see is reflected into the universal Mind, and by the natural law of reciprocal action must return to you in either spiritual or physical form." ---Your Invisible Power by Genevieve Behrend, 1921

"Man is a magnet and every line and dot and detail of his experiences come by his own attraction."---The Life Power and How to Use It by Elizabeth Towne, 1906

I dug deep in my vault for one of the best Classic Self-Help titles, and found just for you, The Path to Prosperity by one of the truly great authors, James Allen.

This is rare and hard to find ebook, that will be YOURS absolutely free, just for reading any one of the books/ebooks in my Everyday Enlightenment Store:
