You Must Change the 148,000 No's
In Your Subconscious to Yes's
What does it take to succeed? How can you
move forward - no, take a quantum leap forward -
in your achievements, in realizing your dreams?
According to some research, a person who grows
up in an average, reasonably positive home is
told "no" or told what he or she cannot do over
148,000 times before they hit their 18th
birthday! The number of "yes'" or encouragement
on what they can do is far smaller than the
"no's", "shoulds" and "shouldn'ts" (which are
all "no's").
So what?
Well, think about it. The results you achieve
in your life are a result of the actions you
take. So what determines the actions you will
take?
Let us first discuss the power of practice and
repetition. We all know that repetition creates
habit. Our brains and physiology learns through
repetition. We are pattern-making and pattern-
following creatures. Practice makes perfect.
Whether you like it or not, the more you repeat
something, the more it becomes part of you.
Repetition is programming. Repetition is
programming. And 148,000 "no's" is a lot of
programming!
Repetition creates programming, which in turn
creates beliefs, which in turn determine your
thoughts and emotions, which in turn determine
your actions, which in turn determine your
results.
Have you noticed how you tend to think the same
kind of thoughts over and over again? Studies
show that we have about 50,000 thoughts per day,
and a whooping 90% of them are repetitive! Like
an old, tired record. And remember, repetition
creates patterns, habits. You are literally
hypnotizing yourself with your repeated thoughts.
Other research shows that 77% of everything that
most people think about is negative, self-damaging,
hindering, and counterproductive. Now, remember,
your results come from your actions, and your
actions come from your thoughts, and your thoughts
come from your beliefs, and beliefs come from your
programming (what you repeatedly tell yourself or
get told).
It goes even further than that. Your subconscious
mind controls almost everything about you. For
example, it controls your autonomic nervous system.
What is that? Here is what the Microsoft Encarta
encyclopedia says: "Autonomic Nervous System, in
vertebrate anatomy, one of the two main divisions
of the nervous system, supplying impulses to the
body's heart muscles, smooth muscles, and glands.
The autonomic system controls the action of the
glands; the functions of the respiratory,
circulatory, digestive, and urogenital systems;
and the involuntary muscles in these systems and
in the skin. Controlled by nerve centers in the
lower part of the brain, the system also has a
reciprocal effect on the internal secretions, being
controlled to some degree by the hormones and
exercising some control, in turn, on hormone
production." Which all means that your hormones,
energy levels, actions and so forth are controlled
by the subconscious mind. If you have told yourself
that you are clumsy, the subconscious will work
with your hormones, motor skills, and so on and
make you act, move and talk stupid. If you have
told yourself that you don't fit in social
situations, you will find yourself standing in the
corner not fitting. Whatever you say, boss. Your
subconscious is like a computer. Whatever you
program into it, it makes happen. No questions
asked. You are the boss, and whatever you say,
happens.

Your imagination, your thoughts, what you perceive,
what you don't perceive, what you see and what you
miss, how you act, what you feel... these are all
determined by one thing: your programming, what
you repetitively tell yourself (and what you
repetitively got told or observed during your
youthful formation years).
This Could Change Your Life.
So how do you take the quantum leap, how do you
step out of the box of your own thoughts and see
beyond it. How do you program yourself for success?
Well, the same way you create all programming:
practice. Repetition. You have to not only find
what works positively for you, but you have to
practice that new positive way over and over until
it becomes part of you. Positive thinking and self-
help advice will not work unless you make it permanent
for you by practicing it over and over.
Your entire physiology has to be rewired; your neural
pathways (which create pattern and memory) have to be
redrawn. All this happens by practice. Repetition.
Repetition. Repetition. Practice. Then one day, like
with everything else you ever learnt through practice,
you just find yourself automatically doing it! It
becomes you!
Ok, now how fast and to what extent can you grow your
consciousness within one lifetime? The quick and dirty
answer is that there is an average rate of growth, but
there are no limits.
According to Dr. David R. Hawkins, M.D., Ph.D., in his
bestselling book Power vs. Force, people on average
tend to increase their consciousness by 5 points in
a lifetime (on a scale of 0 to 1000). So if you were
born at a consciousness level of 300, you tend to get
to 305 by the time you die. But that is an average
that includes billions of people. There is nothing to
limit anyone except their own choices. Many are on
record for having achieved 100% or even 2000% increases
or more, where they are literally renewed and are
different in just about everyway. A transformation
happens.

So if you wish to leap forward, know that nothing stops
you. But also know that you have to leap forward in
your mind first. You have to re-write the negative
programming that is keeping you where you are. And
re=programming is done best through acting in the new
way and practicing that over and over until it becomes
part of you. The more you open up, let go, allow, trust
and not resist or defend your old ways, the faster you
will move forward.
Practice. Whatever you do, practice until it becomes you.
And it will happen automatically, you will find yourself
anew.
