Changing Your
Life
Most people want
to change their life for the better. Most people don't like the job they
have or the lifestyle that they want. A lot of people are not even in the
career they want. Most people don't have the income they would like to
have. Most people are stuck in a rut and don't know how to get out or
change their current life to the one that they truly want. The rut they
are stuck in is called life.
People get caught
up in life with having to make money to pay bills and support a family.
Before we know it 10-15-20 years have gone by and we look back and
wonder where the time went and that we are nowhere near where we would
like to be in life personally and financially. How did I get into this job
when it is something that I really don't like and never planned on doing
with my life. What went wrong? How do I fix it? How can I Change careers
now when I have bills and a family to support? I can't take a cut in pay
to start something new and changing careers takes time. I have to go back
to school and take time away from my family and then we would have to cut
back on our lifestyle and we can't afford to do that. I guess I will just
keep plugging along being unhappy but at least I am making good money.
How many of you
have said that to yourself. We are really not taught how to plan our life.
We are not taught to set goals and if we are how to achieve them. So we
find ourselves at this place in life and we are really not happy. It
starts to affect our life and the lives of the ones around us. It wears on
you subconsciously and we start to feel trapped without even knowing it,
We start to say and do things that we don't like and we don't know
where that is coming from.
Our subconscious
control us more than most people know. Our subconscious does not know
reality from unreality. Throughout our lives we train our subconscious to
believe certain things about us. We train it for our likes and dislikes
and our beliefs about
ourselves...
For example, We
might believe that we are not a good salesman. Our subconscious now
believes that we are not a good salesman and will put up roadblocks to
support that belief. This is just one example.
We also talk to
ourselves constantly. It is a natural thing to do. We lost in our own
thoughts at times. We criticize ourselves or praise ourselves depending on
the situation. This is called our self-talk. The more negative self-talk
we have with ourselves the more our subconscious will believe this. On the
other hand the more positive self-talk we have the more our
subconscious will believe that. We need to control our negative self-talk
to train our subconscious to train our subconscious to get what we want
and to train it for the beliefs we want.
Another mistake a
lot of people make is they are not focused on what they want. Most people
tend to focus on what they don't want. An example would be I feel like I
am coming down with a cold or I hope I don't get a speeding ticket as I am
late. Well, guess what. When we say something like either one of those
statements then we are now focusing on what we don't want and we start to
attract those very things we don't want.
Try saying
something like I know I will arrive on time without incident and visualize
yourself getting there on time without incident. Even if you feel a cold
coming on say to yourself I am healthy and feel great and visualize
yourself feeling healthy and going about your daily routine. We attract
more of what we are focusing on.
