hi everyone,

I was wondering if anyone could suggest a few good books to read on how the subconscious mind works and how to train it to work more positivley and stop harbouring fears and negative thoughts?

"Think and Grow Rich" by Napoleon Hill would be a great book on that subject...

However, one of the best way to work on your subconscious is by using the "GIGO" technique...

GIGO simply means, "Garbage in... Garbage out" which is to say that if you dwell on negativity... that is what your mind will be filled with... and that is what you will express...

But, if you immerse your mind with positivism... things will change radically for the better in your life...

There are always two sides to every coin... and we get to choose which side we sill focus on... it does take a little self-control... but the reward is well worth the effort...

The very best of luck to you...

i highly recomend: The power of the subconcious mind, it tells you everything you need to know about the subconcious mind and how to use the knowledge you learn to change your life. It really is amazing

Default hi

hi,

thanks for the suggestions. WIll follow up. Shamou, the problem I have is that though I realise its garbage in garbage out, I am having trouble changing over 30 years of negative thiking! so I thought if I could learn some techniques to apply, it would be good. I found the affirmations didnt relaly work well with me as they always didnt sound true.....I do like positive visualisations........would like to try some more techniques....

Just a few that I would recommend to anyone looking for answers

1) Ask & It is Given - Esther & Jerry Hicks - Abraham
This book is a great easy read and covers all of Abrahams teachings

2) Crack in the Cosmic Egg- Joseph Chilton Pearce
This is the most amazing book I have ever read. I have read it mulitple times and it brings something fresh to the table each time.

3) Psycho-Cybernetics- Maxwell Maltz-
This book will help u to understand what u r and awaken that within u

Good Luck

You can change almost overnight limbogirl...

It is all on self-image or how you see yourself... If you see yourself as someone who dwells on negativism... that's what you'll do... however, if you see yourself as a positive person... that is also what you will do...

"We perform as we perceive ourselves to be." -- Dr. Maxwell Maltz...

How do you change that self-perception...?

Through practice... every time you catch yourself being negative... you tell yourself, "That's not me. I'm a positive person... being negative simply is not who I am."

How long will it take...??? According to Dr. Maltz... and as I have observed in many cases, it only takes 29 days to fundamentally transform your self-image...

The very best of luck to you...

Sweet! All three of my top favorite books were mentioned:

Psycho-Cybernetics, The Power of the Subconscious Mind, and Think and Grow Rich. I vouch for all three but Psycho-Cybernetics is my personal favorite since it was the very first book that REALLY hit home with me.

I've been thinking negatively for about 14 years. I still need some work here and there, but I have improved significantly in a short time period. If you're really focused on changing yourself for the better, you'll see fast results. Here's a quote from "The Power of Your Subconscious Mind" that really helped me out with negative thinking:

"If you find yourself beset with an abnormal fear, you must strive to move mentally to the opposite. If you remain at the extreme of fear, you will suffer stagnation plus mental and physical deterioration. When fear arises, one of the basic laws of the subconscious mind immediatelyi brings with it a desire for something opposite to the thing feared. Place your attention on the thinig immediately desired. Get absorbed and engrossed in your desire. Know the subjective always overturns the objective. This attitude will give you confidence and lift your spirits. The infinite power of your subconscious mind is moving on your behalf. It cannot fail. Therefore, peace and assurance are yours."

So simple yet effective. Whenever any type of negative thought comes to mind, I simply think the opposite of that, which is something positive that I desire. It's really simple to do and if you're consistent, you'll feel the results quickly. Hope this helps
