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.

The highest kind of thinking is Enlightened Thinking ™ which incorporates active reflection, creative and critical thinking aspects.

Thoughts to Think and Atlanta Become a Divine Human Event

I am traveling this week in the Southeastern United States, and enjoying the many signs of spring, with beautiful flowers blooming everywhere....just got finished with a motivational weekend seminar and now headed to lead the Become a Divine Human seminars.

Wanted to make sure to send you a quick shot of inspiration and give you the details of the Atlanta Event, happening this Saturday, April 5 from 1-4p.m. at Atlanta Unity
4146 Chamblee Dunwoody Road. Unity:(770) 455-8920
To pre-register, please email me.

Here is one of my favorite thoughts on the importance of our thoughts.
It is a quote by Henry Van Dyke:

Thoughts Are Things

I hold it true that thoughts are things;
They're endowed with bodies and breath and wings
And that we send them forth to fill
The world with good results, or ill.
That which we call our secret thought
Speeds forth to earth's remotest spot,
Leaving its blessings or its woes
Like tracks behind it as it goes.
We build our future, thought by thought,
For good or ill, yet know it not.
Yet, so the universe was wrought.
Thought is another name for fate;
Choose, then, thy destiny and wait,
For love brings love and hate brings hate.

What is your dominant thought about the area of life that is giving you the most challenge? Think about it, write it down, and then decide if that thought is serving you or not.

If not, feel free to replace that thought with one that is more empowering to you. When you learn to change your thoughts, your life starts giving you more of what you want.

Learn a lot more about how powerful you really are at my event, this Saturday in Atlanta, GA and Sunday (in Louisville, KY).
I hope to see you there…..the power of face to face learning is critical to your personal transformation. Remember to win at the game of life, you must apply what you know.
