Have you ever listened to self hypnosis tapes? Or listened repeatedly to certain music that carried a specific message? Or what about, have you attended weekly services within a specific religious venue? What do all of these have in common? They influence and change your thinking and paradigm over time to whatever it is they espouse.
James Allen wrote “as a man thinketh in his heart, so is he”. What we continually dwell on—consciously and unconsciously is what will shape our thoughts and
world in which we operate. That is why optimism allows some in poverty to believe they have a wonderful life. And another person in same home, living same conditions - yet suffering from a pessimistic attitude, will hate and struggle within their circumstances.
Self-hypnosis tapes work on our subconscious when we are relaxed so that we do not fight message, nor answer it in our minds with refuting negativity as we overcome obstacles that we need help with. Music, repeatedly heard, eventually floats through our minds almost unnoticed. Its message—beyond just lyrics, begins to be woven within our ideology and outlook. There are enough news reports of teens over years acting out in alignment with what artists call “just music”. And there are as many within religious organizations that call upon inspirational music as what carried them over through rough times. Also, between scriptures, sermons, classes and books… those within any religious setting begin to shape their lives according to basic tenants and premises of that line of thought.
But what about you?? You have goals, dreams, ideas too. You have things you wish to accomplish, things you wish to strive to. You have ideas about way you want to feel when living on target. So how can we take a clue from programming in three situations above to allow YOU – yourself, to begin to program your own destiny?
Perhaps you have heard of technique of writing down your goals daily in order to bring them into reality. Well that works well if you are one of society that learns through writing and visualization. We all learn in different ways. I have tried this method without much success mostly because I am not a visual or written only learner. And partly because I forget to keep at it day after day.
Good news!! I have found something that will work for those of us who learn audibly—through our hearing. Assuming that you are totally technology free in your home (which would be rare) all this will cost you is $12 and 90 minutes of your time. For $12 you can go to Walmart and pick up a small tape recorder with capacity to record tapes. And also buy at least 1 low quality tape holding 90 minutes of possible record time on it. This will be fantastic to start. That is really all it takes to move you into a GREAT life that you design.
