Studies have shown that approximately 20% of our daily thoughts are conscious ones. The remaining 80% happen at the level of our subconscious.

So, would you be surprised to learn that if only around 20% of what you ultimately desire is currently showing up in your life, it may be that you need to spend some more time consciously working on what you are ‘inputting’ on a daily basis to affect what is happening to the other 80%?

So, how can you make such a change to your thought patterns? As it isn’t possible to control what is happening at a subconscious level, we need to change our input at a conscious level. To do that, there are some simple steps that we can follow:

– Processes such as positive affirmations, meditation, and keeping a daily performance journal, in which we record only the positive things we have achieved that day, will all feed powerful affirming thoughts into the conscious mind, which then permeate into the subconscious mind.

– Whenever negative emotions come up for us, we need to put them straight out of our minds. Why? Because emotions are transitory. It is emotion plus thought that generates a permanent feeling at a subconscious level, so by not thing about our negative emotions, then will quickly pass and will leave no mark on us.

– The subconscious can’t distinguish between ‘real’ and ‘imaginary’. So, in relation to our feelings, our subconscious can’t tell a ‘real’ past event from an ‘imagined’ one. By repeatedly bringing more positive energy into our lives, over time, perpetual positivity becomes our ‘reality’.

By following the above steps, we can use the 20% of our thoughts that we have control over to bring about a positive change in the 80% that just ‘happen’, thus effecting the other 80% of stuff that is showing up in our lives.
