Now that you know this, you need to also realize that subconscious mind can not think both positive and negative thoughts at same time. One or other will dominate. If you think negative thoughts, then your mind is dominated by those thoughts and you will in due course reap consequences.

So real goal then in building a framework for success is learning to flood our minds with positive thoughts while ignoring negative. Think of some of negatives that you may have in your head right now (often in form of a question). "Why am I so stupid?" "Why do bad things always happen to me?" "Why wasn't I born rich and successful?"

The problem is that any answer you give provides support to this negative. You can't just tell your mind to stop asking these questions, you have to learn how to ignore them.

For next two weeks, I want you to do something for yourself. Begin to control your thoughts for a more powerful mind by filtering what you allow to fill conscious mind. Every time you think a positive thought, I want you to make note and repeat that positive thought to yourself several times.

Then, let's start to rid mind of negative thoughts in one of two ways. When a negative thought enters your mind, imagine that you have a volume control in your mind and simply turn volume down while simultaneously making a conscious effort to put a positive thought in your mind with volume turned way up.

The other way you can do this is by getting a thick rubber-band and placing it around your wrist. Every time you hear a negative thought, SNAP yourself hard enough to make it hurt. Then, again put a positive thought in your mind.

I'm confident that if you choose one of these methods and use it, within a few weeks your outlook and your inner-talk will do a complete 180 degree turn. Try it and we'll talk again in a couple of weeks.

To Your Success! Joel

If you have affirmations, add pictures to them. If you have them memorized, add corresponding pictures and hold them in your mind while you speak affirmation. If your affirmations are written down somewhere, add pictures to paper on which affirmations are written.

For example, if you are affirming a million-dollar bank account and your dream home in hills, find pictures of home you would like to have, and find pictures of a bank vault full of cash and paste them onto same sheet with your affirmations.

"Chicken Soup for Soul" co-creator Jack Canfield had some very important insight on how to supercharge power of mind-imagery. He recommends that you use mind-imagery by imagining you are in a movie. In quote below note how he recommends you see YOU IN movie as opposed to WATCHING a movie OF YOU. He says, "If you're watching a movie of you, you see your whole body up on screen. But when you're in movie, you just see your own hands. You're looking out through your own face. You can't see your own face right now. We call this associated imagery versus disassociated imagery, which is more powerful to produce change. So whenever you visualize something you want, visualize it from inside of your body" (i.e. You In movie) "what it would look like if you had it. Don't see yourself outside of your world. It's not as powerful."

So, for next two weeks, I want you to latch onto images that go through your mind when you meditate and imagine how your goals would look when achieved. Then, continue twice a day with affirmations, except for now I want those images you've selected to be included and to be a central part of your daily mind exercises. Make sure that you take Mr. Canfield's advice and see images from inside your own body.

I hope that your life already shows signs of powerful, positive change. I look forward to speaking with you again in a couple of weeks.

To Your Success, Joel S. Nelson
