With good reason.

Thinking can happen automatically by resonance or it can be a choice! wmf

A Well Known Fact: Birds of a feather flock together.

The human mind is a wonderful instrument of both energy and consciousness. Once it is programmed with an idea it can carry that idea out automatically, like walking or driving a car, tying our shoes and eating our food, behaviour once acquired becomes a functional part of our lives. Throughout our childhood we were given all kinds of ideas and thoughts about what was right and wrong, what was good and what was bad. Unfortunately children do not normally begin to develop conscious reason until around age five and often by that time many of the limiting ideas and beliefs, that were given to us unexamined, can operate throughout our lives.
Fortunately we have a faculty called REASON, which can, through patience and effort be developed to function, is a way to help us move towards even more positive life conditions. Developing reason means we must learn to become conscious of our values and the thoughts emotions and feelings that occur in our minds in order to remove, replace and repair any beliefs or ideas that do not support an ideal image for our lives. Which brings us to today’s How to be happy in fifteen minutes or less, activity, which is about uncovering and replacing negative ideas about your life. Today’s activity will take about one to two minutes per hour for the next eight hours and you’ll need to keep a piece of paper and a pen or pencil handy.

For one minute every hour make your body comfortable, breathe deeply in and out exhaling all tension from your entire body as you do...let your thoughts become quiet for this minute and ask the following question in your mind and write down the responses that come for the remaining time.

“What are three things I do that hold me back from what I want?”

After you write down your answers...turn the page over and go back to what you were doing till the next hour passes. At the end of the day look over your list and ask yourself the following question for each thing you wrote down;

“What thoughts and actions would change this for me?” and write down your responses...what you have now are a few action steps to help you move forward with whatever it is you want and...

Have a great day!
