Our subconscious mind controls most of our actions. The conscious mind can only handle one to three events at a time and process 2000 bits of information per second http://www.airmax97chinawholesale.com/ , while the subconscious mind can handle thousands of events at one time and process four billion bits per second. Most accomplishment happens subconsciously.
Affirmations are a conscious activity which "programs" our subconscious mind. Whatever the conscious mind accepts and believes, the subconscious mind works to turn into reality. Our attitudes and habits reside in the subconscious mind and influence most of what we do, often without us even realizing technique I used when I was in the corporate world, and before I even heard about affirmations and all of this psychology stuff, was to write my annual review at the beginning of the year. The company I worked for required each of us to submit a self appraisal at the end of the year as part of the annual review process. Most of my bosses just took what I wrote and it became the review.
I found that writing the review at the beginning of the year air max 97 kids wholesale , and continually referring to it throughout the year helped to keep me focused on the key things that I wanted to accomplish during the year. It was amazing how many of the things that I wanted to accomplish actually got done during the year.
I now realize that there were several psychological principles at work in this process. When I wrote the review, the statements were worded as if they had already been accomplished. Instead of saying " I will", the wording was "I did". The subconscious can only relate to the present--it can't relate to the future. It seems subtle, but an affirmation that says "I am", "I have" air max 97 mens wholesale , or "I did" plants a thought in the subconscious whereas a statement like "I would like to" or "I will" has no impact on the subconscious.
One of the weakest words in the English language is try. Those people I have worked with in my leadership development engagements get this point hammered home with a very simple exercise that I do. I wait for someone to use the word "try" in reference to something that they want to accomplish. Then I stop and put a pen in front of them. I tell them to "try to pick up the pen". If they pick it up, I scold them for picking it up since I didn't tell them to pick it up, just try. If they sit and stare at the pen, I scold them for not trying. The point it that the word "try" has no commitment whatsoever, and the subconscious can't deal with this. Or as Yoda says to Luke Skywalker in The Empire Strikes Back air max 97 womens wholesale , "No! Try not. Do, or do not. There is no try."
Numbers and measurement are important. Many goals or objectives that we have are stated in numerical or quantitative terms. For example, I have a revenue goal for my business for the year. If I simply wrote in my annual review ahead of time that I achieved this goal, this would have limited impact. The subconscious mind can't easily convert numbers into actions. Therefore, if I have a numeric goal such as revenue air max 97 shoes wholesale , I need to write my review such that I not only state that I achieved the goal, but also how I did it. For me it might be something like "Revenue for 2011 was X because I added three new clients that each contributed Y to revenue". My subconscious is now programmed to be on the lookout and direct my attitudes, habits, and behaviors towards finding three new clients.
Just writing the annual review at the beginning of the year and then putting it in your desk until the end of the year won't do much to ensure success. The Law of Concentration says that whatever we think about on a continuing basis becomes predominant in our subconscious. Repetition is the best way to apply this law to using your annual review as an affirmation. I recommend reading your review at least once per month, and even more frequently early in the year.
The subconscious mind cannot deal with negatives. So if I write a statement such as " I had no accidents this year" air max 97 china wholesale , that is a negative statement. The subconscious can't visualize not doing something. In fact, the mind actually drops the negative, so what actually gets programmed into our mind is having an accident. On the golf hole with water in front of the green, the more I tell myself not to hit it in the water, the more likely I am of just doing that. Or a basketball player standing at the free throw line thinking about not missing the free throw actually increases the chances of missing the free throw.
Just as writing your performance review at work at the beginning of the year help to focus you at work cheap air max 97 wholesale , the same thing applies to personal goals. Instead of thinking about New Year's resolutions, write a performance review for your life in 2011. At the end of the year, what do you want to say that you accomplished?
Many are intimidated with baking and a lot of us are under the illusion that baking is a mammoth task with complicated techniques. But the truth is that when we use the right amount of ingredients and some simple techniques, baking is one of the easiest forms of cooking. By technique and ingredients, it doesn鈥檛 mean following step-step instructions given in a cook book. These books can act as initial guidance for someone who is new to baking nike air max 97 wholesale , but it need not be the bible whenever we bake.
