Here are some of the characteristics of your Subconscious<\/a> Mind<\/i>:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. your subconscious mind functions by its very nature to create what it is told, and<\/li>\n
  2. your subconscious mind does not care what it creates \u00e2\u20ac\u201d it just creates what you have commanded through your thoughts.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    \"Grief:<\/a>This being the case, do you want to waste energy on it creating in directions counterproductive to your goals? Of course you DON\u00e2\u20ac\u2122T! So, you might be asking, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153What can I do?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d \u00e2\u20ac\u00a6<\/p>\n

    AWARENESS OF THOUGHTS:<\/p>\n

    You can begin to be aware of the thoughts in your mind. Now, that might sound weird to you! You might be saying to yourself, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Hey, they\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re my thoughts. I KNOW what I am thinking<\/i>!\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Do you?<\/p>\n

    HABITUAL NEGATIVE THOUGHTS:<\/p>\n

    If you are like most people, many of your thoughts pop into your mind, unbidden. Many of your thoughts are reflections of things that others have said to you about you. Many of your thoughts are based on past \u00e2\u20ac\u201d possibly no-longer-relevant \u00e2\u20ac\u201d habit! The problem with this is that those unbidden habits might be directing your subconscious mind<\/a> in OTHER directions than you want in your life!<\/p>\n

    Here\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s how to find out \u00e2\u20ac\u00a6<\/p>\n

    RECORD KEEPING:<\/p>\n

    Begin to notice your thoughts. As you become more and more aware of what you are thinking, start to record the negative thoughts \u00e2\u20ac\u201d especially those that you notice coming to mind with some frequency \u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 and even-more ESPECIALLY those that deplete your self-esteem and self-worth or increase your feelings of inferiority and depression.<\/p>\n

    That\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s right \u00e2\u20ac\u201d you don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t have to judge them: Just begin to notice and write them down. Recording habitual negative thoughts becomes the basis to understand what YOU HAVE BEEN telling your subconscious mind to create. This is IMPORTANT!<\/p>\n

    It is important because it helps you to appreciate HOW INCREDIBLY WELL your subconscious mind has already been bringing things into being \u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 just the way you said they were to be!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
