At a meeting, I was talking with a woman and mentioned Joseph Murphy and his best-selling book, ?Power of the Subconscious Mind.? She asked, ?In his book, did he explain why the subconscious doesn?t work for most people??
That set me back. The subconscious mind is always working, and it responds according to the nature of your thoughts. But one thing can prevent the subconscious from making the changes a person wants. I responded, ?Because they don?t work it.?
?Oh,? she replied. ?I guess that?s true. Nothing changes if you aren?t willing to work on it.? I quietly sighed, thinking of all the people I knew who didn?t work on an issue, then complained when change didn?t happen.
Most people resist change and it takes effort to overcome that. Inertia can take over, causing you to drift and stalling your progress. It takes determination to pull out of it and move in a different direction. Change doesn?t happen overnight, nor does it happen without applying shifts in thinking and behaving. Your old ways of doing things are simply habits, and can be changed. But it takes attention to alter your course and initiative to put it into action.
Posting affirmation signs around the house won?t help if you don?t repeat the statement frequently. They work by modifying the things you automatically say to yourself. Passively glancing at them without noticing them won?t make much of an impression on your subconscious. You have to be pro-active in impressing the concepts on your inner mind.
Wanting to be more positive won?t work unless you pay attention and change your attitude when you find your thoughts straying into negative territory. Just as you have to turn the car around when you realize you?re going to the gas station when you meant to go to the store, you have to re-focus your attention when your thoughts go in the wrong direction.
