How do you measure success? It’s probably not exactly the same
for any two people. While athletes measure success by wins or
their personal best, a business owner may measure success by the
amount of money their business nets every year.

Regardless of how you measure success, it all starts in your
mind…..your subconscious mind, to be exact. While most people
are familiar with the concept of the subconscious mind, few truly
understand how to use its power to create the success (and
happiness) that they desire.

To take advantage of this incredibly powerful tool, you must
first program your subconscious mind for the success you are
seeking. Without a clear, consistent “picture” of the results
you seek, your subconscious mind can actually sabotage even your
best efforts.

Any time there is confusion, your subconscious will struggle to
help you achieve your goals. That’s why the more concise your
goal and your mental image of its results, the better the chances
you’ll achieve it. By creating and focusing on this concise
concept of what you want to achieve, you’re helping your
subconscious mind manifest that result in your reality.

It’s very important to monitor what you tell your subconscious
verbally and silently. Most people are surprised to find when
they actually start to “listen” to the words they use on a daily
basis that they are issuing counterproductive “requests” to their
subconscious.

Make sure to use positive descriptions when speaking aloud or to
yourself silently about your goals. Instead of saying “I won’t
be overweight anymore”, phrase your request in a positive way:
“I am thin.”

Also, it’s important to use a present tense, not a future tense
like “I will be thin” as your subconscious takes everything
literally. If your request is in the future, it will think that
it doesn’t need to change anything now. It lives in the
present.

Be careful not to use negative words accidentally: such as “I’m
not going to be poor any more.” Your subconscious mind doesn’t
understand words like “not”, “doesn’t” or “won’t”. It will
automatically delete those words from your request which will
almost always create the opposite meaning and results of your
goal!

There are many techniques you can use to create clear pictures of
your completed goal. Most find that imagining a movie in their
mind of what it will be like when you achieve your goal to replay
in your thoughts to be very effective. For example, if you’re
trying to wipe out your credit card debt, imagine yourself
receiving statements from your credit card companies with a $0
balance on the payment section.

Remember, what you focus on expands. If you constantly see
yourself overweight, or in debt, that’s what your subconscious
mind will continue to create for you in your reality. It’s very
simple and takes very little time to mentally produce a “movie”
that gives your subconscious a clear idea of what results you
want. With consistent attention and effort toward what you DO
want, you’ll be amazed at the results you can create with your
mind!
