***If You Want to Hard Wire Something Into Your Consciousness, Then Write it Down

Often in schools and movies and books, you see classroom scenes where students are made to write down on chalk on the blackboard or on paper using pens a statement over and over again often as a punishment like “I will never lie or cheat or steal or whatever…” It even played a prominent part in one of the Harry Potter books and movies. I think the reason this is so common is because people understand at some level how much importance writing down something is to the subconscious mind.

5 Things You Can’t Afford Not To Know On How Your Mind Works Through Suggestions

There are places and people that are constantly broadcasting gloom. Avoid exposure to anyone or anything promulgating pessimistic views; for their gloominess can vine onto you and in no time, the tree of pessimism will be rooted, miles deep, into your mind.

Growing Outside of the Box

Continually focusing on what isn't only gives more power to it. The universe doesn't really have an opinion about what you want or don't want. It just listens to you. So, if you are telling the universe that the status quo is okay with you, it will listen. The universe doesn't pick and choose who gets what they want. It doesn't say, "Oh, you are a better person, therefore you get what you want, but you? You're not worthy." It simply listens to the messages you are sending out.
