What We Tell Ourselves Matters

The most important person that you will ever talk with is you. What you tell yourself repeatedly will seep into your subconscious and affect your life! Saying something with certainty or powerful emotion will equally affect you. Consequently, it is essential that you pay close attention to what you tell yourself.
We knew of a person that constantly utilized the word hate while expressing her thoughts to others. This woman would say things to others, using the word, “hate,” flippantly. Each time she used this word the bitterness of its use stung, closing up her heart. Although she expressed herself to another, she at the same time told herself these things. In fact, she would merely voice thoughts that she had already impressed upon her subconscious. Whatever we place on the inside comes out.
Science has deduced that we have anywhere from 60,000 to 90,000 thoughts per day. We breathe approximately 24,000 times a day. Now that is numerous thoughts per breath! We can merely think one thought at a time; with each breath, we have a lot of activity going on within our minds every minute of every day. Many of these thoughts are simple, useful, and necessary. However, when we experience an inner conflict, we increase our massive thought process, which can affect our peace.
We all want to be happy and lead stress free lives. A certain amount of stress is healthy, like physical exercise; mental and emotional stress is unhealthy. This type of stress is a result of our negative thinking and imaging, resulting in negative inner dialogue. Every moment that we look at or ruminate about what we “don’t want", we produce negative energy. That energy then pulls more like energy toward us. This energy will increase, the accompanied feelings, as our negative thinking increases.
To experience success, feeling good is necessary; we must feel good if we want to have the first rate things that life has to offer. It is impossible to feel like doing nothing while thinking about what you desire! When you conceive of what you want, you get excited, and you feel excellent. Positive change energizes the mind and body. Therefore, when you concentrate on things you want to have, or what you want to accomplish, you experience joy. Joyful feelings attract more joyous thoughts and so forth (like attracts like).
