Okay...so maybe a thousand is stretching it a bit. The point is, you want to watch your video as often as possible. It doesn't have to take long. Perhaps a minute or so. And believe me results can be astonishing.

YOUR VIDEO IS BOTH BIBLICAL & SCIENTIFIC.

Remember what Jesus told woman with issue of blood. "Your faith has made you well." (Mark 5:34) Notice, he did not heal her. Her faith was healing factor.

Where did this faith come from? Her mental video! (Don't turn me off because I'm going high-tech. Mental videos have been around since Garden. They just masquerade under different names.)

What was woman's video. She saw herself running up to Jesus, touching his robe and being instantly healed. She saw. She knew. And may well have played her video a thousand times before Jesus actually arrived.

SCIENCE PLAYS THE VIDEO GAME WITH SUGAR PILLS.

It's called The Placebo Effect. Researchers give people a sugar pill and tell them it's a new wonder drug. Absolutely guaranteed to cure their 'whatever'. The receivers believe it. They see it. They swallow it. And guess what? Often their 'whatever' symptoms disappear.

Of course, when research project ends and they learn truth, so also ends their cure. This has happened so often it's commonplace.

Yes...the videos you play in your mind can make you sick. But if they can make you sick, they can also make you well. And that goes for almost any negative condition you are experiencing.

To change these negatives you write a new script. Then produce a video. On video play hero. Experience victory. Through persistence your video will become reality.

SKEPTICAL? GIVE IT A TRY.

Produce your video. Keep it simple and focused on only one problem.

Play it at least five times a day for 21 days. Why 21? Because that seems to be magical number for establishing a new habit. And that's what you're doing. You're creating a new habit of thought which produces faith.

Try it. I double dare you. The only thing you have to lose is some negative 'whatevers' that are probably mucking up your life.

The word 'GREAT' also works on your subconscious.

When someone asks how you feel and you respond, 'Great!', you are actually talking to your subconscious. It listens. It believes.

Tell it enough times that you feel 'Great!' and it will do everything in it's considerable power to bring that feeling into reality. Of course if you go away mumbling to yourself that actually you feel pretty lousy, your subconscious will also listen to that and cancel any 'Great!' feelings it might have been working on.

True story. Some good old boys decided to play a joke on one of their number. They stationed themselves at various places along accustomed morning route of their victim and individually greeted him with something like, "Hey Ted, you look terrible. You should be home in bed."

Ted laughed off first two encounters. But after fifth greeting, he headed home. He spent next week between sheets being terribly, ridiculously but very physically ill.

It comes down to this. If mind can make you sick it can also make you well.

Don't take my word for it...try it.

Start out day determined to respond to every "How ya doin'?" greeting with tonic word, 'Great!' Refuse to get dragged into any recital of aches and pains...particularly yours.

Stiffen your back, keep your chin up and float word 'Great!' on tip of your tongue. Even if you start day feeling lousy, chances are you'll end day feeling a whole lot better. Keep it up and that 'Great!' feeling will become a way of life for you. Not bad for one little word.
