“Your brain continues to look for connections, associations, memories, examples when the question puts your brain on a search. If the answer is easy the brain stops. What is the capitol of California? Sacramento. DONE! Don’t need to go further. BUT…
Continued from Part 3
‘How many things have I learned to do, that at first I did not think I could, and in having learned them found that I got better at them and they got easier? How many different talents and abilities do I now have in my life as a result of learning how to do them?’
‘What activities do I presently enjoy that I successfully learned to do? Which of my many talents do I enjoy and am most grateful for? How glad am I that I can do X (whatever talent you enjoy)?’ Really consider these questions. Ask expecting an answer.

But you don’t have to expect only a verbal answer. You can direct your mind to images, feelings and behaviors. BUT you have to ask of yourself, honestly and sincerely. Entertain and enjoy the questions. You may need to repeatedly ask expecting to receive an answer.
You may be delighted to discover things coming into your mind quite quickly. Sometimes, transformation is instant. Other times it is more gradual. You may have to let it go and do something else, and let it settle on the back burner for a bit, before things begin to pop up.
You know what I mean? It happens when you try to recall someone’s name but can’t. It is on the tip of your tongue. The more you try to recall the less you do. So, you let go. Forget about it. Then suddenly it drops into awareness at another time. You suddenly remember!

You’ll find examples popping up for yourself demonstrating this when you honestly ask of yourself. You’ll begin to realize you did this even if you thought it impossible at the time. You’ll discover you learned well even when you thought you couldn’t or wouldn’t.
For some people this is learning to ride a bike, drive a car, speak another language, use tools and build a birdhouse, plumbing, work on a computer, learn to sign, pass a class, be good at math, balance a checkbook, lose weight, gain weight, or sculpt their body.
It could be to get comfortable in a crowd, get over a fear of insects, live without their partner, you could eat a new food and actually like. The possibilities for any one of us are numerous. We all have accomplished things we did not at first think were possible for us.

If you are honest, you have too. Haven’t you? Search your mind and find some of these examples that are true about you because they demonstrate you are able. You are capable. You have done it many times before. These are resourceful moments in your life.
How long it took you, how difficult it was or wasn’t, may be directly tied to your thinking at the time, but one thing is certain. Notice this: What you did not think you might ever do, you actually learned to do. AND you have either done it or continue to do it successfully!
This is an important point. Read it again. Find your successful examples because what you focus on you get. What you think about you become. Find times and places, alone or with people where you accomplished what you thought you couldn’t. Find where you won!

Some people haven’t yet learned to live their life looking for resources, but they can. Once we do look for resources and our ‘can do’ moments, we begin to discover many. As we discover more and more examples some things should become clear.
That we, that you, are a person who can learn to do many things when you put your mind to it. You may not have thought you could at first but you did it AND because you learned to do that you can learn to do many other things as well. Get this. You are able to learn!
It may take time and energy and effort but you are the type of person who has learned many different skills and talents. So, take an inventory. The number is not important. It’s not about keeping score. It’s about learning you are the kind of person who can do anything.

When you decide to put your mind to it! Being comes first, then doing and having. Transform yourself into the kind of person for whom learning is easy and you become a better learner. Be what you want to be to do what you want to do to have what you want.
Who are you? You’re a capable person, a good learner, a powerful person, a person who can decide, and who can learn and who can master skills, and acquire whatever is necessary to be and do and have what you want. So, Fill your mind with your ‘Can do’ moments.
Fill it with ‘I did it’ successes. Fill your mind with how capable and powerful a learner you are. You did these things in spite of not believing at first that you could. Then realize, since you have been able to succeed in these you can build success in other areas too.

You can be successful in the area of taking charge of your thinking in a very similar manner. You just need to start. Imagine that! Have faith. Thinking positive MOST of the time is a learned art form. It is a skill developed just as any other skill and ability is developed.
Positive thinking and taking charge of your thought processes is mastered, and becomes easier, through repetition, repeating the correct skill set over and over again, until it becomes a habit just as any other skill is acquired. Correct repetition implants the skill. More next blog. Meanwhile, take action. Start developing new, positive habits of thought, feeling and behavior that serves you. Begin by celebrating everything!” Rex Sikes
