| Let us examine the effects of our thinking on our lives. We have said that we are creating the world around us in any given moment; both positive and negative experiences come directly from what we are creating or attracting. This applies to all of our thoughts and beliefs. It is important to know that not all of our beliefs are conscious. We are not necessarily aware of some of the beliefs that we hold. The unconscious beliefs can be very powerful and more often override conscious beliefs. For example, let us say that a person consciously believes that they are a good person and worthy of a good life, but their life experiences do not match with what they expect. This means that more than likely they have an unconscious belief that they are somehow bad and not deserving of a good life. The unconscious mind has a powerful effect on our power of attraction and creation. So when you have worked on your thoughts and beliefs and are not experiencing the kind of results you would expect, you can safely assume there are unconscious or hidden beliefs at work. You can pretty easily discover the nature of the beliefs you need to change by looking at what is appearing in your life. This also applies to your conscious thinking. You may find yourself thinking thoughts like, "I never get what I want". A thought like this is a powerful determinant of your experience and will pretty much ensure you won't get what you want. What you give energy to is what you get. If you focus on what's missing in your life you will get more of that. If you focus on what's wrong with the world you will get more of that. Whatever you put your energy into is what you will see. Changing your conscious thoughts and beliefs is the first step for getting what you want. From there, judging by the results you get, you can discover whether there are unconscious or hidden beliefs that need attending to, also. So start now by being as conscious as possible of what you are thinking and change any negative thoughts into positive thoughts as soon as possible. |
