Practical Mind Programming

The regular human brain is in a constant chatter of unrelated and repetitive thoughts we call rumination.

This constant chatter is a reflection of our subconscious mind activity.

We cannot consciously analyze what the subconscious mind is doing but echoes of that activity will arise from the subconscious all the time automatically, without our control and feed the process of rumination.

It could be a problem we are trying to solve, a song we have heard recently or replaying some event of positive or negative significance.

Rumination is usually considered to be bad and people interested in achieving a higher mental state regularly employ a series of methods in order to reduce it or completely stop it.

Some people meditate, chant, pray, visualize, take drugs or any other method they think will help them stop the process of rumination.

.

This is totally wrong and needs to be corrected

You cannot simply live your life in a constant state of meditation, in a state of clear mind unless you join a monastery. For people living regular lives, this would be very impractical and disruptive,

So we have to understand what the process of rumination is and how to use it for bettering our thought process and ultimately for improving our lives.

Rumination is a form of mental filtering and feedback.

When the feedback is negative we reinforce a bad program of the subconscious mind and that is bad and undesirable, but when the feedback is positive and we reinforce positive programs in the subconscious, then the feedback is very useful and desirable.

What we want to do is to look at the thoughts that occupy our mind and analyze them.

Do we like the chatter, the thoughts in our mind?

If yes, there is nothing to do and worry about.

If the internal chatter, the train of thoughts in our mind is unpleasant or simply stupid we have to stop it and change it to a positive theme.

This is how we can reprogram our thoughts patterns.

Ask yourself what would you like your internal dialog to be about.

Write it down on a 3x4 card and keep it in your pocket.

Whenever you find your mind wondering in negative territories pull the card out and read it.

Read, repeat and focus on the new messages until they stick in your mind.

Two little notes here:

Your subconscious mind doesn’t work in a temporal based reality, in other words, past and future do not exist so everything you want to program in your subconscious mind has to be stated in the present tense. “I will” or “I should have” simply mean this will never happen because past and future do not exist.

Second. The universe doesn’t give you what you want it only gives you what you need, so make your choices wisely because you may get what you are asking for and you are not going to like it.
