Self Talk

My book for January is Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill. It’s a fascinating book written in the 1930s. Hill devoted 25 years of his life and spoke with 500 successful and wealthy men. He discovered 13 steps all the men had in common and used to obtain their wealth. This is my second time reading this book. Hill says it takes three times to understand the content. Also, you must faithfully complete the exercises he lays out to get the most out of the book. In this chapter, he writes about 5 techniques for using autosuggestion to obtain what you desire.

The Positive Autosuggestion Bridge

Autosuggestion is the third step to obtaining what you desire. I wrote about steps one and two, Desire and Faith, in my last two blog posts. When talking about positive self talk, you must understand your conscious and subconscious mind works. All suggestions and self-administered stimuli reach your mind through your five senses. Autosuggestion becomes a bridge between your conscious and subconscious mind. Your dominating thoughts are in your conscious mind. By using autosuggestion or positive affirmations, they will move into your subconscious mind and influence you into action.

Five Senses

Everything you perceive through your five senses is stopped by your conscious mind. Your conscious mind has the power to pass these perceptions to your subconscious mind. It also can reject them. The conscious mind cannot differentiate between positive and negative perceptions. Whatever thoughts are dominating your conscious mind will be passed to your subconscious mind.

You have complete control of what enters your subconscious mind. Whether your thoughts are positive thoughts or negative thoughts. You can control the type of thought you want to allow into your subconscious mind. Think of your thoughts like seeds. Positive thoughts will grow positive results (flowers). On the other hand, negative thoughts will produce negative results (weeds).

Five Techniques

The five techniques for using positive self talk are:

1. Write down a statement of what you desire and when you want to have it. Next, write down what you are willing to give up and your plan for obtaining it.
2. Read your statement aloud twice a day, once in the morning and once before going to bed.
3. Close your eyes and see yourself having what you desire.
4. Feel the emotions that you will feel when you obtain it.
5. Have faith that everything you wrote in your statement will come true.

Emotions

By feeling the emotions of having what you desire you will communicate your desire directly to your subconscious mind. Closing your eyes and seeing yourself in possession of your desire, along with feeling the emotions, will eventually give you the spirit of faith. Go back and read my blog post to understand the importance of faith. Without faith, your statement is just words. The reason most people fail to obtain their desires; they never develop faith.

Faith Is Your Strongest Emotion

These 5 techniques for using autosuggestion are necessary to get what you desire. You are applying the principle of autosuggestion. Faith is your strongest emotion; your subconscious mind will act upon your faith. It is normal to be skeptical whenever you are approached with a new idea. It sounds too easy but the power of autosuggestion will turn your skepticism into belief. Eventually, your belief will turn into faith.

You are the master of your destiny. You and only you determine the life you want to live. The dominating thoughts in your conscious mind passed through to your subconscious mind determines your actions. In turn, your actions will determine your reality. If you want to change your life, it can happen with these 5 techniques for using autosuggestion.
