Don’t…

line

A useful piece of trivia is that your brain cannot instantaneously process a negative. Ha?? Let me explain:

Whatever you do – Don’t picture a purple elephant.

Whether you wanted to or not, just for a moment, you’re mind went there. You pictured that lilac elephant, didn’t you? Just as soon as it appeared the image was wiped from the screen of your mind. The fact is that in order to process a negative the mind first processes the positive, then reverses it.

What you focus on expands, gains momentum, takes root in your mind. If you are worried about what you don’t want you are very likely to get just that. What you don’t want. Instead focus on your desire and let all else fall away.

  1. That’s what I have been doing wrong! It’s funny that the little things like this can make so much difference – it’s just about reminding yourself of them every now and again to refocus.
