2 Ways To Control Your Thoughts
Talking to yourself used to be frowned upon but now it's considered a great tool to center your vision and keep yourself disciplined along your way path to success
Your inactive brain controls your active life.
That doesn’t sound fair now, does it?
Not really.
But it’s what is happening in your head. And we think we have control of it buy most of the time we don’t. Instead, we let random thoughts dictate our long-term life.
That explains we often chose to work for bosses we hate and spend our waking time complaining about them even though logically we know we could be a better boss than them. But when challenged by someone else in our life to go and try to be the boss we’d retreat and say we’re content in our present position.
But we’re not.
Rather what we mean is we’re not able to sort out our thoughts enough to become controlled enough over a sustainable time frame to manage ourselves in being the boss and manage the people around us effectively enough.
Because our subconscious thoughts are pulling us back.
And they do that for all of us unless we grab the ropes of our mind and pull them along from our frontal cortex.
As our frontal cortex region has the ability to re-train our subconscious into believing it can achieve what we truly want to in life.
Here are two such ways we can use our brain’s central executive officer to direct us into becoming more aware of our subconscious thoughts:
What is self-talk?:
There are thousands of thoughts pinging over and back in your brain each and every day.
Think of it, thousands.
Then again, if you`ve just thought of it you`ve already chosen a thought. And that’s only one of the thousands more left in your given day.
Of course, there are lots of thoughts that are based on functionality. Thoughts like putting on your clothes, choosing which shirt to wear the next day, any thought about cleaning your house, and planning for your next day off. You`re thinking about how to eat your breakfast so quickly, get through traffic quicker, please your boss, work more efficiently, and what you`re having for lunch.
These are things you have to be aware of if you want to give yourself a chance of living life efficiently.
But when it comes to the thoughts you have about yourself, the people around you, and your ability and performance are extremely important. If your thoughts are dominated by worry and anxiety your thoughts will be negative. If they are certain and proactive they will be positive.
By trying to improve you have to muster up ideas.
And ideas come from the creative part of your brain. From there you`re forced to think outside the box. You have to think about doing things differently.
That’s where great innovations come about.
Many great innovations come from solving problems. In doing so you`re turning negative thoughts into positive solutions. And before you come to the solution you must think creatively.
Thoughts trigger words in our minds.
And words can carry emotion. They can either have negative or positive emotions. Feeding your mind with negative words will transmit negative actions from your body.
On the other hand, feeding your psyche with positive words produce positive actions.
However, the words must be put into sentences that are realistic to the brain. Because our brain has a track record going back throughout our whole life.
The skill of course is picking the correct words and at the right time and putting them into the correct sentence so that you can feed your brain with the correct information to overwrite the negative thoughts that have already been implanted in your brain’s registry over the years.
Affirmations:
Affirmations are similar to self-talk but one main difference is that you can write them down.
By writing them down you are activating finer motor skills, deep focus, and in doing so you are allowing several areas of your brain to wire together to create a powerful synergy that will trigger self-empowering thoughts and actions that are committed to success.
Although paper never refuses ink what you write about yourself is promising your psyche you`re committed to achieving it.
In essence, you are writing the contract for your brain to commit to. By writing it you need to be very careful about what you say to yourself. Make sure it’s manageable to achieve within a time frame that’s attainable.
Also, make sure you write it in the present tense for now.
Here’s a brief example:
Today is the workday. I`m feeling great and love my work. My mind and body are ready and are performing to their best. I`m very helpful to my fellow staff members. They are a great bunch who deserve my excellent performance today. My focus is on my passionate work and I`m going to commit myself to concentrate on achieving my best today.
So it’s up to you.
Do you want to control what is already controlling you?
After all, it’s in your brain’s real estate and you have the keys to its housing.
All you have to do is spend a little time there now and then and before long you`ll be enjoying the views as they guide you to where you want to go in life.
