You know this, because if you can stop worrying and panicking for even a few seconds and you can say what a problem is, suddenly, a possible solution to the problem comes to you. What you’ve got to do is program your subconscious mind to focus more effectively on solving problems when they arise.

You can change your thoughts and change your life. The conscious mind you control is the boss of your subconscious mind. Get your subconscious on a training program today!

The link between the conscious and unconscious mind

Your subconscious mind only knows what your conscious mind tells it. It is bombarded every day with millions of thoughts, ideas and feelings then it sets to work on processing them. Your subconscious mind can therefore be easily swayed and distracted by what the conscious mind tells it some positive thoughts.

Your conscious mind might be the boss of your subconscious mind, but you are the overall boss of both of them. Act like it. Take control of what you are consciously thinking and turn it around to positive thinking before your conscious mind dumps the thought on the sub-conscious mind as a no-hoper.

OK – so how do you take control of what your subconscious mind thinks?

Everything you do, say and believe is picked up by your subconscious mind. Using your mind to simply record and process information wastes a lot of its potential power. You only get one chance at this life, so why not use your mind’s power to its full potential? Change your thoughts change your life.

Sifting out the negative, unhelpful things from that won’t happen overnight but you CAN do it. Positive thoughts just take time and practice.

‘Allowing’ the universe to become aligned is crucial, and it’s a process that many of us find difficult. Just allowing things to happen goes against all we have been taught about hard work and striving for what you want, doesn’t it? Well, not exactly.

At first, when you are using creative visualization to literally ‘see’ what you dream for, you need to put the effort in. You need to infuse that vision with emotional intensity so that you believe yourself into that situation. We need to affirm our belief that we can achieve our desires. That is how you increase your thought vibration.

Where ‘allowing’ then comes in is that instead of doing what most people would do and simply working  harder and worrying about how we can achieve something, the Law of Attraction says that we should have some trust, and allow the thought vibration to align so that we attract what we want.

How do we Allow our Desires to Come to us?

First, stop worrying about how you achieve your desires. That contradicts the idea that your desires are inevitably going to come to you as part of a ‘done deal’ and can just make you anxious. Trust the universe to deliver your desires to you in a way that is good for you and things have a way of working out.

Also, forget the idea that you can control when you get what you desire. Yearning for something, wanting it ‘right now’, interferes with thought vibration and delays getting your desires. Remember, we tend to create what we focus on the most, so if we focus on the anxiety of why things aren’t happening as quickly as you want them to, you stop your thought vibrations being aligned with the wider universe and attracting your desires. Just believe they will happen when the time is right and things will happen more quickly.

Put your energies into a more detailed creative visualization and appreciate what you have right now. The more you use your thought vibrations in appreciation of what you already have, the more good things you will attract.

Understanding what is happening

When you have obsessive thoughts, you’re like a hamster running on its wheel. You don’t get anywhere but the more you think of these obsessive thoughts the faster you run and the more frustrated you become.

What you need to do is get some traction back and grab on to something else that will stop you running in circles on this wheel of obsessive thoughts. Imagine you’re no longer a hamster in its wheel but you are a person riding a bicycle. Now you can go somewhere – and where you go is exactly where you look. A bicycle has to follow your eye line.

Just as if you are riding a bicycle staring into a pothole, you’re likely to fall into it, if you have obsessive thoughts you are a rabbit in the headlights, you can’t look elsewhere so you meet disaster with a nasty bump. That doesn’t have to happen to you.

Getting the Traction Back

If you feel controlled by your obsessive thoughts, don’t worry, you can change that. The traction comes from getting back in touch with your true life thoughts and your true feelings. Make your feelings authentic again and you once more put power into your creative visualization.

If you have obsessive thoughts, it is tempting to want to blame someone or something or to claim the moral high ground. But what good will that do? What is more important: spinning around the wheel feeling you were right and everyone else was wrong, blaming them for that – or achieving peace of mind and happiness?

Getting Rid of Obsessive Thoughts

You can do this with creative visualization. First, make a note of your obsessive thoughts. Think about how they make you feel. Be honest and be real about it. Then, give yourself a gut reality check – is it making you feel any better to delve deep into these negative feelings? Probably not. It’s time to let go.

Imagine your hamster wheel of obsessive thoughts spinning faster and faster. Then see this wheel becoming a sphere of light and power. Feel this sphere of light being absorbed into your core. Be aware of how your body feels, not what your head is telling you. Then cast out those obsessive thoughts. Leave behind the power as you realize that what really matter is how you feel inside: happy, powerful, and content.

How does it work?

In creative visualization you use your imagination to create a clear image, idea, or feeling of something you wish to make come true. Then you need to keep that picture in mind and think about it regularly – a few minutes each day at least - until you actually achieve what you have been imagining.

The goal you want to achieve can be anything – just imagine yourself having achieved it and how different you will feel then. Some will say that this thinking exercise works on a spiritual level, your thoughts going out into the world and positively affecting the people and events around you so that the correct circumstances for you to achieve your ambition are created. Maybe, maybe not – but it will change you.

Overcome your limited thinking

By imagining the goal you want and seeing yourself as having achieved it, you start to convince your self-conscious mind that you can really do it. Believing you can actually do something will change your whole way of approaching a task. You start to see how you can acquire new skills and achieve personal growth. Personal growth and new skills make more things possible. Perhaps this is the real strength of this thinking exercise.

So how do you do it?

Creative visualization is so easy, anyone can do it.

First, relax. Forget about all the problems and the things which are distracting you from your goal in the here and now.

Second – make your mind actively see you achieving that goal. You will feel yourself smiling and you will automatically think about what you must have done to male yourself successful like that. You’ll realize how good it feels to be successful in your aim.

That’s really all you consciously do for a while. Just practice this thinking exercise at least twice a day, about ten minutes each time. That really gives your subconscious mind the idea that you want this thing and that you’re going to have it.

It sounds crazy, doesn’t it? But crazy thoughts are powerful things. Thoughts guide us through every waking moment and they even affect us whilst we sleep. Your mind absorbs all your experiences and all you see and hear and feel, but it doesn’t necessarily analyze them unless you make it do that. If you usually indulge in negative thinking, that’s what your mind will accept as the truth. You need to get yourself some new influences! - Ones that don’t constantly see the bad side of things and wait for things to go wrong.

That kind of negative thinking keeps you from success because you don’t then take responsibility for what is happening to you. You feel that you know things will go wrong sooner or later, no matter what you do – so why do anything? If you believe that you are going to fail, your unconscious mind will believe that, and as a way to protect you, it will stop you taking a risk and doing things you might fail at. Negative thinking can really hold you back in life. You just won’t take the risk of that something you fear going wrong – so you won’t take the chances of making things go right for you.

Do you think that you can’t achieve those ambitions you want?
If you do, then you will close your mind, see no opportunities, and behave and react negatively and defensively. That way you allow negative thinking to rule your life and you stop yourself achieving success, thus becoming a self-fulfilling prophecy of the doom you were sure awaited you anyway. That’s no way to live your life – is it?

Negative thinking shouldn’t just be rejected as wrong

You should consciously think about the problems you foresee and pitfalls you envisage and think of possible ways around them. That is the way to take control of your thinking.

Step 1 – Set goals

You wouldn’t set off in a car to cross a foreign country without maps, satellite navigation or at least some guide books, would you? Well your future is a foreign country, waiting to be explored. But it’s best done with the safety of having some plans and route maps. That way, you can relax a little and enjoy the journey because you won’t be scared you’ll get lost or forget your destination.

Step 2 – Creative visualization unleashes the power of thought

To understand how the power of thought works, you have to understand that the subconscious mind does not know what reality is and what fiction is. That’s why you can wake up confused after vivid dreams, not knowing if it happened or not; or you can forget to pick up a certain everyday item from the shops simply because you’ve remembered doing it time and time again so you’ve imagined yourself doing it this time too.

That little weakness in the subconscious mind could be your biggest strength in using thinking power in order to live better.

You’ll find a lot of books and internet sites on the power of thought, but unfortunately, most of them are naive. They tell you how to do it at a basic level, but they conveniently leave out the fact that in order to maximize the benefits of creative visualization, you can’t do it in five minutes in your spare time and then forget about it. If you do, your subconscious mind will still be bombarded with all the negative thoughts and feelings you still hold on to as well.

So, you have to be strong and each time you feel a negative thought creep into your head, be aware of it. Use your power of thought think about it constructively and immediately come up with a solution for the problem it has posed for you. That way, the solution gets filed away into your subconscious mind right away along with the problem – a neat little filing system!

If you are like most people, you are interested in abundant living. Did you know that there are simple thinking activities that anyone can do that can lead to an abundant life? Visualizing your life as though you have already achieved your goals and dreams and practicing gratitude are two major thinking activities that have be proven to be effective in actually creating a better life you individuals and their families.

Pay attention to how these thinking activities can change your life.

Visualization

Picture your life in the way that you want it to be. Imagine yourself with money, and the things that you want to have. Do you want to own a nice big home, with a nice car? Visualize your life with these things already in your possession. Begin to imagine the emotions that you will feel, the peace, the freedom, and the happiness that abundant living can bring to you.

Believe it or not, this thinking activity has power. Let yourself believe that you already have these things right now. Don’t imagine that you will eventually obtain these things, but think and act as though you have already achieved and abundant life.

With this taste of your future, it will be easier for you to take the steps necessary to bring your visions into reality.

Gratitude

Be thankful for what you have. Everyday try to find something new to appreciate in your life. Be happy about what you have now. Express appreciation for the things that you DO have. Many people tend to focus on what they DON’T have, and this just creates more negative energy and more negative circumstances.

Not only will you begin to realize that there is plenty in your life to be grateful for, even though you may not have everything that you want just yet. If you value what you own now, it will be easier for you to get excited when you begin to see more abundance come into your life.

Tip: Combine the visualization thinking activity with the gratitude habit, and you will have even more mental power working in your favor. As you begin to see yourself enjoying your abundant life, express your gratitude for it. Be thankful that you have that abundant life in your sights now.

Common Career Problems

Positive thoughts can change a number of common career problems. These include:

-feeling inadequate
-feeling unappreciated
-being overqualified
-not enjoying work

These are just a few negative thoughts that can plague our minds as we work. Dissatisfaction in your career begins with small thoughts like these, and turning these negative ideas into positive thoughts can energize you, and give you the career help that you need.

Using Positive Thoughts as Career Help

If you are feeling inadequate, it is time to stop putting yourself down. Certain skills can be learned, and if you think that you need more training, get the education that you need to do a better job. Perhaps you have taken a lesser position because you didn’t think that you have what it takes to apply for the position that you really wanted. Take a look at your experience and skills again, only this time really focus on the positive. Tell yourself that you can improve and you could possibly get that job. Positive thoughts will motivate you to do better.

Many people feel overqualified for their positions and feel unappreciated. This too can truly steal the joy from the workday. Rather than gripe about how you are not getting paid enough or that no one appreciates what you do, think positive thoughts. Be thankful that you have a job, because not everyone does. If you are overqualified, then find ways to show just how easy your current position is and that you can take on more. Do your very best with the position that you are given, and you are likely to get noticed for better opportunities.

Approach every workday with a positive attitude. Sometimes all you really need is a change in perspective. Look for the good in your career, give it an effort that you can be proud of, and think positive thoughts.

Some people say, “I will be happy when I have more money,” or “I will be happy when I get out of debt.” It is a sad fact that most of these people may never be happy, because even if they achieve that goal, they will not be satisfied, and will always be happy “when” something happens. You need to live in the present and appreciate where you are now. You can be happy now. It is your state of mind that will motivate you on your path to success. Without gratitude and happiness now, true success is hard to come by later.

Feeling good about your life is a choice. If you choice to feel good now, you will have to confidence and the energy to make your life even better. You will want to do what it takes to achieve wealth and the other goals that you have in life. True success is not abundance itself, but happiness, and fulfilled desires. Success is all about being who you want to be and contributing to the world in the way that you have always wanted. Money and abundance naturally follow.

Wealth and happiness are not synonymous. Money might make you feel better, but real happiness comes from living out your destiny and accomplishing your dreams. It is the journey towards your goals that teaches you what real joy is all about. It is about giving. The more excited you get about giving, the more you will end up having to share with others. This is not just money, but talent and skills. Contributing to society in the way that you were designed to is what true success is all about.

Get happy about who you are and what you can give. Happiness first; wealth and success to follow.
