The power of thoughts, part II

As promised, here is the second part of the article. In the first part we focused on talking about how thought reflect on our life and the inner dialog we need to have in ourselves. Now we will continue toward the attention of thoughts and the choices we need to make in order to change our thoughts.

Attention
Brian Tracy - one of the most prolific authors in this area say: "Life is one survey for attention. The way the attention goes, the heart goes our ability to overthrow the attention from low valuable activities to more valuable activities is of central meaning for all we conquer in our lives".

When we focus our attention on something we like, information are sent to our mind and it start to activate for accomplishment of our goals. Our mind is always on our side, it works for us, and it helps us on everything we wish for. But the problem is that the mind can't make a difference what's good and what's bad for us. If we are preoccupied with sicknesses, worries, with fear that something is going to happen that we don't like to happen (so we are focusing and thinking actively on those thoughts), in that very moment our mind will understand that as it's duty and it'll accomplish the one thing we don't want and fear of. And as much we become more "skillful" doing it, and bring more emotions in that negative perceptions, than faster and easier we come up to the opposite of what we have been wanting.

Therefore it's very necessarily to focus strictly on the target we want, on the change we want to happen and all thoughts of strive, all negative anticipations. We need to reject all those manifests and change those with new ones in the very moment of their emerging. We must change them with positive thoughts which go in direction of accomplishment of our wishes.
For all this it's important to have a discipline, power of will, which will help us identify the negative thoughts and right now to react putting them aside and change then with new ones.

There is always a choice
We have a choice where to direct out thoughts, even if it’s a matter of illness, we have a choice. We can think and speak all the time about the symptoms, we can self-pity of the pain we feel and fear of our condition not to get worst, in a word we are totally focusing of the sickness we have. The other alternative is to think and deliberate for that what we really like, to recover ourselves. To think about the possibilities of how to contribute for our health, to believe that the condition soon will become much better and that everything is going to be all right. This way we send messages and activate our brain that we want to recover our illness and that we want to find the best solution in order to realize this. Remember, the mind is always on our side.

A lot of people their negative thoughts and expectations in relation with the outcome of some situation are trying to justify with the hope, not to be surprised unpleasantly if the result is not what they expected. In a word, to be prepared for the worst. But where is the purport here? What’s the point of tormenting ourselves twice? First ahead, when we are experiencing the negative outcome, and the second time, when it’s going to really happen (if it’s going to happen)! No, the brain doesn’t work that way. If we concentrate on the negative aspect of the problem, it’s very likely that it it’s going to be that way. But if we focus on the positive side, we are probably going to avoid the worries and the disadvantages of the outcome. The chances are more likely that the result will be the positive one.
Open your mind for new possibilities and see if something could be different from something what you have known and done. Permit yourself to try something new and decide if it’s going to bring you benefit or not.

Practise
We cannot omit the importance of the inner dialog. The way when Try with the next exercise: Once you wake up tomorrow, before you begin the day, dedicate a few minutes on your thoughts. Repeat yourself the plan for the new day and the things what are you planning to do. For a moment consider them like finished on a most adequate way. Don’t think if something can be done or not, just imagine the outcome for every situation. For every negative glimpse, replace the same with the positive one. You will see that the experience of the forthcoming day it’s going to be more positive, happy and you will be more successful. And that’s just a beginning, the change is just begun.
