Thinking is
an art. We need to learn how to think. It is important because
whatever we think continuously becomes our personal law over
a period of time. Every time we think the same thought, we
are giving energy to that thought. With this kind of repeated
energization our thinking patterns become fix and rigid. This
is how we form our personal laws.
Because of our unconscious
thinking, many times, we land up having negative personal
laws and these laws govern us for lifetime in negative manner.
“I’m poor”, “I’m no good at
this”, “I’m fat”,“ I’m
short”, “I’m going to fail in exam / interview
etc”, “I’ll not be able to achieve my goals”,
are negative thoughts related to the issue of poverty consciousness.
Once trapped in these kinds of negative thoughts, one can
spend a lot of time floating in negative thinking. Not attending
to the root cause of negative thinking is like pulling at
the top of the weed, only to have it grow back again and again.
The issue can be resolved with the following steps:
Step: 1: Acknowledge: When
we become aware of such thoughts, the first thing is to acknowledge
the same with equanimity. Acknowledging the fact makes us
powerful to see our unconscious thinking and gives us hope
to change. Now there is no need to escape from the reality.
Acknowledging the negative thoughts is the powerful step that
prepares us to get ready for re-scripting.
Step: 2: Re-scripting: Once
we have identified the core negative belief, which in this
case is poverty consciousness, it is possible to do conscious
re-scripting of the same. Re-scripting is done in affirmative
manner. E.g. Instead of “I’m poor” one can
state it as “I’ve an opportunity of creating abundance”.
Once the re-scripting is done for the primary thought, the
secondary thoughts will take care of themselves. In this case
“I’m going to fail in exam / interview etc”
is the secondary thought. It will automatically change to
“Exam / Interview is an opportunity to create abundance”.
This way all other related secondary thoughts will change
in positive manner.
Step: 3: Creating Positive
personal Law: Once the re-scripting is done, it is easy to
create new positive personal law. In this case, “I’m
poor” will change to “I’m here to create
abundance”. Once such positive focus is created, it
is to be energized repeatedly, for it to become permanent.
Whatever we focus upon GROWS! Once we create the positive
personal law and focus upon it, it keeps growing.
This process clearly indicates
that it is very important to keep watch on our thoughts. It
is important to know what we are constantly giving power to
on mental level. One of the simple exercises is to review
our daily thoughts just before going to sleep. Try to recognize
the patterns. You will be surprised to see the same patterns
repeating in form of different thoughts. Once you do this
exercise on regular basis, it will be easier for you to recognize
and relate a thought to an old pattern, which has become a
personal law for you. The moment you become aware of it, follow
the above-mentioned steps to re-script the same and you have
created the positive personal law for you!
We can do a small exercise
to build our re-scripting muscles.
Here is an example:
OLD THOUGHT
1. My income is less.
NEW RE-SCRIPTED THOUGHT
1. I have a fantastic opportunity
to increase my income!
OLD THOUGHTS
2. I am not a good public
speaker.
3. My old habits are not conducive
to my growth.
4. I am highly stressed out
and not able to achieve any thing.
5. My relationships are not
working.
6. My survival is at the stack.
7. I have no energy left to
do anything.
8. Nobody loves me. I’m
lonely.
9. I’m not able to express
myself.
