Our world functions repetitively. Day becomes night. Seasons come and go. You wake up, follow a routine, work, play, watch the same TV shows and do it all over again and again. Our lives are based on repetition and habit. Repetition can be powerful. You can expect results when you correctly repeat exercises. When you repeatedly practice any skill you get better at it.
Continued from: The Power of Thinking Positive! How To Make Your Thoughts Work For You Parts 1- 3.
Advertisers know that repetition and repeated exposure creates awareness and brand identity. It’s been said and demonstrated that ‘a lie repeated long enough and often enough becomes substituted for the truth’. Governments and advertisers have prospered and benefited from propaganda. So, a lie constantly stated can become believed and accepted as truth.
An affirmation isn’t a lie. It’s an accurate statement. It may feel like or seem like a lie because you don’t think it applies to you. It may not be in your thinking or view of yourself or the world’s to accept it as a fact. So, for you, it may not seem true. But it can be true for you.
It can become your truth! Advertisers, media, politicians and all governments know (and they have invested billions in researching this area), that if you constantly present a notion, by repetition, to people, many of them will gradually come to accept it. Researchers also discovered that people will usually become more tolerant when repeatedly exposed to other people, other ideas and practices.
We become less afraid and more accepting of that which is familiar. We find areas of commonality or overlap and become more accepting. We allow more and are more willing to entertain notions the more we see or hear them. This is why radio, TV, magazine, billboard and all media advertising is effective. It’s through repeated exposure that ideas become more acceptable to us.
Do you think all the billions would be spent if it didn’t work? Even fears and phobias can be overcome by the appropriate practice of repeated exposure to what is feared. Systematic Desensitization is a method of safely exposing the person, bit by bit, to what they fear most. The practice works. People get over life-long fears by getting exposed to the stimulus bit by bit.
Studies suggest, we tolerate more televised violence when we repeatedly watch violent and horrific shows and news. We become less sensitive to it. Lies become accepted as true, violence becomes less horrible, people and concepts become more familiar when exposed to them enough times. It works.
So when you repeat affirmations over and over again your resistance to these ideas breaks down. Gradually, you begin to accept and believe them. Ultimately, you embrace these new thoughts and begin to operate from them. You make them your own thinking and your new beliefs. You do this by constantly exposing your mind to the positive ideas!
Repetition works and there is a way to make sure it works even better. Advertisers, media, military and governments know that to make this process maximally effective you have to emotionally hook or involve the person. YOUR emotions are the key. YOUR strong emotions are the mechanism that makes this work faster and efficiently.
So while repeating an affirmation such as, ‘everyday in every way I am getting better and better’ lifelessly may transform you, it may take a a very long time. It can work, but there is a more effective way to ensure success. You do want success, don’t you?
To get the most powerful results you pair your affirmation with tremendous positive energy while you think and say them. For affirmations to work the best and the swiftest they need to be repeated with dynamic energy and enthusiasm. The stronger your feelings the more you reinforce whatever is going on.
Do you understand this process? Your life already works this way. You have unwittingly engaged in this process again and again. Sometimes, you got good results. Sometimes poor results. Sometimes wishy-washy results. What you did not get is consistent positive results. You used this process haphazardly and without conscious determined awareness. AND You’ve been doing this all along!
Your emotions paired with your thoughts have already programmed you. Your emotions lock in your thinking. Now it’s time to take charge and deliberately control what you think AND what you get back. To use an analogy, your ship has been drifting and now it’s time for you take control and steer it to where you want to go. You choose the destination and you get it there!
There’s good news! You don’t have to learn to do anything new. You’re already doing what works but you have been using it to get crappy results or result you don’t want. You’ve been effectively using this process, without awareness, over and over again to get what you didn’t want. Now, begin using it purposefully to get what you DO want!
All you have to do NOW is begin to make a few adjustments and you can get on track to get what you want. You’ll use what you already do naturally, but you’ll use it in a NEW way. Now start emphasizing the positive most of the time and let go of the negative. Accentuate the positive and fill yourself up with positive powerful energy. Keep your positivity banks full.
Keep your positivity banks more full than the negativity bank. Go for 70% 80% 90% positive and you will experience great changes. So what to do? First, decide YOU want to make the change and that you will begin. You choose! Then you aim your mind toward what is good and new and delightful. Aim your mind at what you want and focus on that intently. Concentrate your energy.
Stay focused on the positive and let go of the negative. One key to finding positive energy and enthusiasm is to look at what you’re already grateful for in your past and present life. Take an inventory of all you are thankful for and all that feels good. Whatever you’ve accomplished, anything and everything, and everyone and accentuate it. Do this everyday!
Do it morning and at night. Do it during the day. Focus on thankfulness. Stay with the appreciation. Look around at everything that’s good and uplifting. Remember, what we focus on expands. We get and become what we think about most often. What we hold in our mind, we can some day hold in our hand. Read inspirational material everyday. Fill your mind with strong positive messages.
Make it a habit to feed yourself positive food for thought daily. Commit to reading at least a page. You can do at least one page! Certainly, you can do more if you want. Make the commitment to never go a day without at least reading one page of positive, inspirational, motivational, nutritional messages. You can do this! Listen to audio programs and watch motivational videos.
There’s plenty of good free material on the internet. Turn your drive time into inspirational and educational time. If you’re typically dour, or unable to find anything good, then you may have to pull yourself up using your own boot straps. Take a walk, and emphatically with powerful determination chant an affirmation. Repeat it while exercising. Do jumping jacks or something.
Do something that gets all of your being, inside and out, moving. Move vigorously. Remember what the military does to train troops. Find a buddy to partner with if that helps. Share your inspiration and enthusiasm! Put a program of action to work for yourself. Add delight, enjoyment, enthusiasm, eagerness, positive feelings, happiness, and excitement when you think and chant affirmations.
Do this morning and night and throughout the day. Sing them, chant them, shout them in your car with a smile. Add uplifting energy to your affirmations. Make each of your moments count. Write them out and put them where you will see them. I’ll share more next time. One of my favorite thoughts I use as an affirmation is a biblical saying I know you’ll love. I sure do.
‘This is the day the lord has made, rejoice and be glad in it’. It reminds me to be thankful, and to look for the good. I want to begin the day with gratitude and rejoicing. I keep this in mind and remember to practice it frequently throughout the day. AND especially at times when difficulty presents itself. I think, ‘It is all good. Good is always happening even if I don’t realize it.
Good things are always happening even though I don’t know what they are, yet. Everything always works out for the best. Everything will work out because this is the day the lord hath made, rejoice and be glad in it.’ When you’re glad and rejoice it makes all things better. Try it and discover it.
Remember, the more you do, the more you are able to do. The more you feel good and think positive the more you will make that fell good and think positive. Get it. Appreciation, appreciates! As you get better it get’s easier. As it gets easier you get better. What at first seems impossible you discover you can now do with ease. You benefit because you took action and start the process.
Train yourself to feel good and to look for the good and that IS what you will find AND have. If you get off base, nudge yourself back to the positive. When you steer yourself back to what you want, when you steer back to the positive, you begin to send a clear single powerful message to your unconscious servo-mechanism that THIS is what you WANT more of.
I repeat: YOU focus on what YOU want. Concentrate on it and fill your mind and being with good thoughts and feelings. If you get off base steer back to the positive. Course correct and get back on course. Always aim at your target and nowhere else! When you maintain this practice you inform your unconscious servant that this is what you want ALL the time. Program your brain.
Program and condition your mind and being for success. Determine what you want. Forgo what you don’t just as when you’re at a buffet table. As you do this repeatedly, through time, you are developing positive habits which work will automatically. These are the seeds you plant. Expect to reap good things when you plant good strong seeds. You WILL reap, if YOU first plant them.
This is necessary to understand. PLANT positive seeds and NURTURE them to fruition. They will grow and flower and you will benefit again and again as they do. EXPECT a great harvest. When the time comes you’ll REAP even more of the benefits. Actually, you’ll benefit all along the way. It IS a very enjoyable process once you begin Enjoy today. Amaze yourself with what wonderful moments you can discover. Celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes
