Yes You Can!
TRICK YOUR
MIND

“The
reason man may become the master of his own destiny is
because
he has the power to influence his own subconscious
mind.”
This
statement by Napoleon Hill is probably one of the most
important
inspirations you will ever read. It says that each one of
us has
the power to create our own reality because we can control
our thoughts
and beliefs. By influencing our subconscious minds, we can
achieve
our goals.

The difficulty most people have is in HOW TO control their
thoughts
and beliefs to influence their subconscious minds. There
are many
techniques available, and through reading motivational
material,
you can find what works for you. One technique you can try
is something
I call ‘trick your brain’ or ‘trick your
mind’.

You know that your subconscious mind will believe anything
—
right or wrong — that your conscious mind convinces
it to believe.
So, you can make an effort to achieve a goal by using
phrases in
the present tense (in other words, talk as if you already
achieved
the goal).
For
example, if you weigh 150 lbs and you want to weigh 120
lbs, you
could say to yourself, over and over again, “I weigh
120 lbs.”
The problem with this technique, however, is that your
subconscious
mind is not stupid. It knows you don’t weigh 120 lbs,
so when
you make that statement, your brain says, “yeah,
right” and rejects it as a deception.
If
your subconscious mind cannot easily accept what you
consciously
tell it, the creation of a belief will be more difficult.
So, you
have to find a way to “trick” your brain into
achieving
the goal, and the trick is in the wording.
First, establish the reason for the desire (why do you
want to weigh
120 lbs?). If the reason is not important enough to YOU,
it will
be difficult to create a compelling belief that will help
you achieve
the goal. Once you’ve established the reason (I feel
great
when I weigh 120 lbs), you can develop phrases that are
more believable
to your subconscious mind.
Here’s
what you could say to yourself, over and over again, “I
feel great at my ideal weight of 120 lbs.” Well your
brain
can’t argue with that! “I only eat the kinds of
food that
will maintain my ideal weight.” Hmmm, now your brain
is busy
thinking about what kinds of foods to pick out at the
supermarket!
Before you know it, your brain is convinced that your
ideal weight
is 120 lbs and you will automatically only buy and eat
foods that
maintain your ideal weight. A belief has been created
because your
subconscious mind could easily accept what your conscious
mind told
it.
You
can use this technique in all areas of your life to trick
your brain
into believing that something is true. When the brain buys
into
it, belief gets created.
