When I was a younger I remembered being in great shape without having to exercise much or watch my diet. I was in pretty good shape. I also remember how life was not as complicated and the stress level was almost non existent.
Fast forward a few years and I now find myself having to exercise regularly, watch my diet, and work on putting some of the stress in "check" before it gets out of hand.
It is accurate to say as time goes by, the environment, the information, and the habits we are exposed to, especially if they are negative, can really affect you in many ways.
So to counter some of the negative influences we need to take action.
If we are not eating healthy and gaining weight then we need to start an exercise program and work on having a better diet. If we are constantly exposed to stress from work, people dumping their problems on us, having bad habits and listening to horrible news in the media then we have to inject positive influences back in and get rid of the negativity.
Start Exercising Your Positive Thinking
To maintain a positive mindset we need to work on exercising positive thinking to prevent the negative influences from overtaking our thoughts. We also need to take control of our negative inner thoughts which tends to surface from time to time.
But is it enough to just read some motivational book and listen to some motivational CD's? Maybe, maybe not, but it is a start. But to really create an impact on your mindset and create some powerful positive thinking you will have to dig deeper.
A Little less than a year ago I read Secrets of the Millionaire Mind book by T. Harv Eker. The book spoke about mastering your inner game. The beliefs we have, whether bad or good, is a direct result of our past experiences as children and of the information that have been ingrained in us.
I really did not get it when I finished reading the book. I just thought it was a good read and it was very motivational.
This is My Moment of A-Ha!
This is what I finally came to understand; it doesn't matter how much positive material I read or how I try to keep a positive mindset if I do not actually address my subconscious beliefs.
So I am going to rewind and explain how I came to finally understand what Mr. Eker wrote in his book about the subconscious mind and having affirmations.
By the way this is also covered in Napoleon Hill's Think and Grow Rich Book. Here is how it all came together for me. I recently joined the Rich Dad education workshop and I was working on the reference materials.
In the materials there is a section that talks about the power your subconscious mind and how it works either for you or against you. Now during this study there are a series of questions to answer.
The questions are based on your childhood experiences and the lessons you learned from your parents, peer, or whoever else had a great influence on you. The questioned are focused on what was ingrained into your subconscious mind during that early part of your life. I was pretty amazed when I began to answer some of the questions with true honesty and really went deep into my memory to answer those questions.
The moral of my story is when there is a blueprint for you to follow from someone who has been through it, FOLLOW IT! It took me to read three books in order to finally understand what the first book was telling me. I did however get great value from all of them. More is always better when it come to great value.
Creating a Leveled Playing Field
It was not only a positive mindset that I needed to have but more like a mind shift. It is not enough just to read motivational materials and work on being positive. If you truly want to have an unstoppable mindset, become nine feet tall, and bullet proof you will have to go deeper.
You have to go into your subconscious mind and start getting rid of those ingrained beliefs that are holding you back.
If you do not address those beliefs then you are fighting a losing battle because your subconscious will always win. Once you get rid of the beliefs that are holding you back you then would have created a leveled playing field. Now that you have created a leveled playing field the process of getting positive information ingrained into your mind becomes more effective.
Keep the Positive Information Fresh Every Day
Considering all the negative information we face each day, we need to flush some of that stuff out and of course keep the positive stuff in.
So how do you get rid of the negative noise in your head? One of the best things to do is to continuously add positive information. Read all the books you can find, listen to all the motivation available, and get around motivated people with a positive mindset. Let some of that energy rub off on you. Then go out and motivated others. Not only will you help someone else you will help strengthen your own beliefs.
Just like an athlete that works his butt off to get ready for the big game we must work our butt off to have a powerful mindset that will shake off any negative influences.
How Do You Back Up Your Beliefs?
Having created that level playing field, now you can continuously inject your mind with countless of positive information and affirmations connected with emotions. Attaching emotions along with your affirmations you will create rock solid beliefs. Once you have those impenetrable beliefs you can set a course in your life to accomplish your goals.
I know my explanation of this process is very general but there are in depth studies in this phenomenon that you could research to get a better understanding of how it works. Now as an MLM entrepreneur looking to build an empire having an unstoppable mindset is powerful. But it is a process that you must work on each and every day.
It is not something you do one month or two and then feel you have acquired the necessary mindset to last you a life time. As we continue to get hit with different experiences in our life time we must continue to adjust and fine tune ourselves.
Get the Necessary Blueprint to Expedite Your Success
Look for the blueprints that have been created by those who went before you and achieved the mindset you are looking for. Keep adding rock solid training and education to expand your beliefs and mindset. Keep exercising your positive thinking with training webinars' or seminars. Get together with a mastermind team to develop creativity in your thought process.
Get you hands on powerful training materials from those who have fine tuned it and have been gracious enough to put a blueprint in place for us to follow. For example, leaders like Mike Dillard who has created an empire and is sharing his methods and strategies on how he did it. All we have to do is have the mindset to follow the blueprint.
There are many other leaders out there that have created empire all because of the mindset they have developed in their area of expertise. It is possible for all us to achieve a level of success if we devote our time to nourish and developed our mindset.
