“What to Say When You Talk to Yourself” by Shad Helmstetter, Ph.D., is an excellent book on the power of the mind. It’s another great book on the subject.
Let me share a personal story about my own experience with this book.
He came into my life around 2005. A time when I started getting serious about my network marketing business. A friend from the sideline and I were talking, well I was whining and complaining about the setbacks I was experiencing in regards to moving my business forward.
This friend began to point out the power of my own words, the power my own words had on me!
My parents’ teaching came to mind… the information they shared with me growing up… and I began to ask questions. He Simply Said: “What to Say When You Talk to Yourself” by Shad Helmstetter.
He said he picked up the book at a thrift store (for 25 cents!) and ran out to his car and gave me his copy. I devoured it right away. I just couldn’t put it down until I imprinted it on my brain. I read it cover to cover.
Do you want to know what I learned? I learned that it is important to know the power that what you SAY has on your ability to achieve your goals.
I also learned the importance of subconscious programming. Brainwashing? Kind of. But think of it more like brainwashing… you know, cleaning up the junk and making room for better things.
Is there any argument to the fact that whether you think you can or you think you can’t, you’re absolutely right?
I hope not. I live my life by that motto. It has been proven to be true time and time again. It is important to know that your subconscious mind is NOT in control. It is your conscious mind that runs the show. If you don’t control what goes into the subconscious mind, it will believe whatever seeps into it.
Let’s say you’re watching a rather violent and graphic movie. If you don’t TELL yourself that it’s just acting, pretending, and that the actor will get up from the scene and leave to be in another movie another day, then your subconscious mind will believe that what you’re seeing is REAL.
Shad Helmstetter, in “What to Say When You Talk to Yourself,” shares his experiences helping people who want to quit smoking. He taught them to speak to themselves with great conviction, thus reprogramming their minds to believe that they are no longer smokers. He goes on in great detail about success story after success story of his work.
Since reading “What to Say When You Talk to Yourself” I have received other information in my life that confirms and builds on the concepts I learned from this mind-altering book. I highly recommend this one.
I hope you take seriously that you can change the circumstances of your own life by changing your mind. Convince yourself of success!
I’m not saying it’s all in your head. But I’m saying that when you teach your mind to function at a higher level, ideas will come at you from all (and unexpected) directions. I expect you to act on them because it is simply the law of attraction. *winks*
Get out there and pop those dreamy seeds!
I will talk to you later.
