Ability is what you are capable of doing.
Motivation determines what you do.
Attitude determines how well you do it.
~~Lou Holtz~~
One of the great things about today’s methods of getting people to improve themselves is the ease of achievement if techniques are practiced regularly. It takes conscious effort and repetition; you may experience some mental and physical inertia initially. However, these mind conditioning methods can be done at anytime of the day. The logic behind mental conditioning comes from the bombardment methodology that has been around for a long time.
One difficulty when dealing with the subconscious mind is lack of easy access. When we try to get into the deep recesses of the cortex to affirm positive messages into the matrix of the subconscious, this can create obstacles. One stumbling block is the logical thought processes of the conscious mind. It will reason that these messages are simply spoken messages. Another obstacle is reprogramming attempts, like developing muscles, will constrict new messages.
Another obstacle is the powerful associations and existing elements previously programmed in the subconscious mind. Their strength comes from two factors: they have been placed and existed in that mental space for a long time, without resistance. This has strengthened the hold on the psychological and physiological aspect of our being. While positive affirmations are easy to practice, they take some conscious effort as well.
The point is to recognize the subliminal force of prior programming. At the same time, it is not necessary to spend time evaluating or even recognizing the emotional convictions and vision of past messages that have been subliminally implanted into the subconscious mind. Simply repeating new and positive messages to yourself will be the most potent form of reprogramming. The subconscious mind will automatically respond to these messages, using its faculties of association to create a change within the mind.
With conscious practice, these new and positive messages will become automatic. This means they have become anchored within the subconscious. Congratulations! You have successfully reprogrammed your mind, resetting any negative elements to positives. This changes the flow and feel of your attitude. Change your thinking, and you change your life.
