Trained Thoughts


Now we get to the nitty gritty of discussing exactly how you bring what you want into your life.

"What you want" may mean health, happiness, wealth, etc. so the next six chapters will deal strictly with how you make this happen.

Once you learn how to "train your thoughts," then all the parts of your life can fall into place and you'll live your life in ease, fun and harmony.

And, harmony means you'll be living a balanced fun-filled life!

And that is the key to a good life.

Will it be easy?  Yes if you let it be so.  Just as you trained your body to walk, ride a bicycle, or drive a car, you no longer have to think about the process.

The same will happen as you train your thoughts.

At first it will take conscious effort because you've had many years of random thoughts running through your brain.  You were never taught to "really focus" on what you were thinking.  Now, you must if you want to change your life.

This means you must be diligent about "knowing"
what thoughts are passing through your brain at all times.

If you are dissatisfied with your life, GOOD!  It means you are willing to accept there might be a better way to live.

And, the better way to live is to:
"Train Your Brain"
to have what you want —
not what you don't want.

You will be sending out your thoughts as energy to produce positive, constructive changes to your life.  Will it happen overnight?  Sometimes yes, sometimes no — it depends on the intensity of your thoughts and whether you pay attention to what is offered in the way of opportunities.

As you get better at training your brain (thoughts), you become aware of "coincidences of good luck" happening often in your life and on a regular basis.  And, that's when you start to "know" the Law of Attraction and Abundance are just as real as the "Law of Gravity."

So keep this firmly planted in your mind:

Trained thought precedes matter
materializing in the Universe!

Good thoughts = a life you want.
Bad thoughts = a life you don't want.

Couldn't be more straight forward, yet how few believe this.  Wayne Dyer, has a saying "When you believe it, you'll see it!"

Now if you've always said the reverse — "I'll believe it when I see it" — that's where you got into trouble and the "energy" stopped flowing to make your life better.  Or worse — never happened.

If you sincerely want a better life, you should commit whole-heartedly to the following:

How to Train Your Thoughts:

==> Step One — Quiet your Mind

When you have "random" thoughts flitting in and out of your brain, it means you are not in control so you have to make a conscious effort to quiet your mind.

For instance:

I can remember the exact moment I quieted my mind.  I was disgusted with hearing the continual "chattering" (thoughts whizzing in and out) inside my head so I yelled at the top of my lungs:

"Shut the **** up!"

Instantly I heard a "zip click" and then, total silence.  It was awesome.  From that point forward, I've been aware of each thought going through my mind.

Now, you might not have to shout at your brain (mind) like I did to take control but you do have to do something to make yourself consciously aware of each and every thought.  Because:

Your thoughts have immense power
(energy) attached to them!

And, if you want to improve your life and its circumstances then you must be fully aware of what you are projecting out into the Universe.

Another way to quiet the mind is to meditate.  Some people find this quite effective — me, I just fall asleep.  Something about sitting in a relaxing position, slowly breathing in and out and blanking my mind does this :-)

But, the goal is to have a quiet (blank) mind; and, if "ordering your mind to be quiet" doesn't work for you, go to your local library and pick up some books on how to meditate.

==> Step Two — Concentration

This is where you train the REM (conscious) part of your brain to kick in and help you.

In order to have constant awareness of each thought, you must discipline the conscious portion of your brain to be fully "awake" and not allow random thoughts to constantly pop in and out of your brain.

To be fully awake is to "pay attention to every moment."

This is what I call staying in your **NOW!**

And "paying attention" can happen immediately if you simply relax and make a conscious effort to stay in your immediate moment (your now).

Your objective is to be INSTANTLY aware when an undesirable thought comes into your brain and cast it out immediately.

A simple procedure is to recognize the thought as "negative" — the thoughts beginning with "I can't, etc. — and say "Next" in a firm voice.

Even more effective and one which will "train your brain" even faster is to put a rubber band around your wrist and snap it when the "negative" thought enters.  The slight pain you experience will reinforce your paying attention.

==> Step Three — Replace with Desire

Replace your negative thought immediately with an intense desire.  In other words, what you want to appear or experience in your life.  By doing this, you will be using:

"Trained Focus."
