Reprogram Your Mind For Success and Happiness
Do you want to improve your life? Of course you do! It's part of
human nature to be forever striving for a better life, for
happiness and for fulfilment. The good news is that it is
perfectly possible for you to be happier and to achieve more
with your life.
First you need to discover what is holding you back. These will
be the beliefs that you hold about yourself. Do you believe you
are too old, too fat, too stupid, not good enough, or any of a
thousand other beliefs you could hold about yourself?
The human mind is a terrifically powerful tool, and every one of
us was issued with one at birth! However, it's no good having a
Ferrari if you can't drive. In the same way it's not much good
having a mind if you don't know how to use it properly and for
your benefit.
Throughout your childhood the people around you have programmed
your mind, some deliberately, most unwittingly. Teachers,
parents, siblings and friends, have all had an impact and have
moulded your beliefs and your self-image. They will have told
you hundreds of times messages such as 'you're so clumsy',
'you'll never amount to anything', 'you're useless' and even
less apparently damaging messages such as 'he's the clever one',
'she's the sporty one'. All these messages, over time, become
accepted into our self-image. They become what we believe we are.
Let me tell you something: These messages are NOT TRUE. They
probably weren't true even when you were a child; they are
certainly not true now that you are an adult.
It's time for you to reprogram yourself. It's time for you to
choose what you want to believe about yourself and your
capabilities.
You may have been to your doctor, tried therapy or even a life
coach. These people can only do so much. Ultimately it is up to
each individual person to make the most of the life they have
been given. It is up to each individual to help themselves.
One of the quickest ways to reprogram your beliefs is through
the use of affirmations. Affirmations are positive statements
that you write and/or say many times. The repetition is
necessary in order to overwrite the messages that you received
hundreds of times during your childhood.
So, having decided what limiting beliefs you currently have
about yourself, rewrite them, turn them around, and create
empowering and positive statements that state the beliefs you
want to have about yourself.
Then write these new statements out and put them where you will
see them often. Read them aloud. Even better, read them to
yourself in the mirror, with enthusiasm and positive emotions.
Write your affirmations 10, 20 even 30 times at a time, several
times a day. Really imprint these new beliefs into your mind.
As you start to believe the new statements about yourself, your
behaviour will change, you will start to take risks where you
didn't before, and you will start to speak up where you used to
be silent. And, as a result, your results will change. Life will
become more of what you want it to be; you will be happier and
more fulfilled.
