Just finished listening to a couple of CDs, “The Lotus Code”.  These CDs provide very simple information.  Still, they are profound.

Maybe that’s because even though we think we ”know what to do”, we still don’t seem to be creating the life we desire.

One of the reasons might be that our minds are jumping from thought to thought like a monkey jumps from tree to tree. In fact they call it “the monkey mind” in this set of CDs.

In the biofeedback scan, this is referred to as “self talk”.  Self talk can keep a person fat, broke, lonely, etc. That’s because what you think and say you eventually create. You know that already, right?

Just one example of “self talk” is  thinking about the future or past (going from tree to tree) instead of living in the present moment, where things really matter. 

Bet you do this in one form or another- we all do, until we make a conscious decision to change.

Here’s some tips from the CDs on how to nip it in the bud:

First become aware of the thoughts that are doubtful and self-defeating. (We are so used to these thoughts that often we don’t even know there’s a different way of thinking.)

Second, evaluate their accuracy. Don’t believe every thought you have.

For example, many years ago when I weighed just 105 pounds I kept telling myself I was fat. It wasn’t true! But I said it so much that it did become a reality!

Third, talk back to your thoughts. Correct them. Say ” That isn’t true” or “This belief doesn’t serve my goals.’ 

When you start anything new, say like a new eating program, negative self-talk runs wild. When it sets in we want to give up.

If you can get control of this, you can take your life to the next level!
