How To Improve The Way You Think

Preface

By changing the way you think, you change the way you run your life.

Very few people would turn down a chance to improve the way they think, if they knew how to go about it. When you have the ability to think more effectively, you can make better decisions and become a much more efficient thinker. You will learn new things faster and easier, achieve that potential that has been hiding inside you, and improve all aspects of your life.

The only door locked is in your mind. The doors outside are unlocked and your potential is limitless. Yours is to walk through. So, you need to think out of the box. You can change your future by merely changing your attitude. When our mind talks, our attitude listens and responds. Because of this correlation, we have the power to literally talk ourselves into or out of success and satisfaction.

That all sounds really good to everyone who hears about it, but their first question is always, How can I improve my thinking ability so that I can take advantage of all of these benefits? In this book, you will discover that there are many ways to train your brain to think more effectively. You can maximise your brain power and keep your brain agile as well. A more powerful mind can be yours, and you will be enlightened by the process!

Our self-imposed belief barrier can affect the way we think because we are conditioned in a certain way. We build scotomas or blind spots to ideas or information that does not match our belief system. Blind spots can stop you from changing or growing. Be aware that what you see is not all there is to see.

The main point to remember is once the subconscious mind accepts an idea, it begins to execute it. It is an interesting and subtle truth that the law of the subconscious mind works for good and bad ideas alike. This law, when applied in a negative way, is the cause of failure, frustration and unhappiness. However, when your habitual thinking is harmonious and constructive, you experience perfect health, success and prosperity.

Research in neuroscience has shown evidence that the mind can be retrained to be more positive as the mind has the ability to determine how your brain thinks about what happens in your life. What does all this mean? This means that what we think, do or say matters. Be the best you can be and fulfil your life’s purpose and potential through maximising your mind and brain power!

Letter from the author

Dear Readers, Bloggers , Podcasters, Youtubers and Book Reviewers

Reading is a great way to personal growth, inspiration and healing. I was touched by a story of a man who read books during his mourning period following the death of his wife and children due to a car accident. I was also touched by a story of a woman who also read books during her chemotherapy treatment because it helped her to take her mind off her unpleasant procedure. Through her unwavering faith, she firmly believed that life is a gift in spite of what she had been through. Because of this, I put a sample of the book ‘The Journey of Life Has a Gift of Purpose’ at the back of this book.

My hope is that my journey in writing will find my books in the hands of readers all over the world and touch hearts for the better.

Life has showed me that there is so much more to writing. The wonderful thing is that I have discovered a world of wonderful people with either a love of reading, writing, or both, so willing to share their opinions and be a catalyst to my writing.

Reviews are a tremendous influence online, and it would really help me reach my writing goal if you would write a quick review. Your feedback tells me what you want to see more or less of. I believe we never stop learning. It is a lifelong gift to grow and change.

I want to invite you to join the mailing list to stay informed of all the new upcoming promotions and book give-aways.

1.1 Model of the mind

THE MIND IS THE BRAIN in action. In today’s world of psychology and the study of consciousness, whether mainstream or not, the iceberg analogy of the mind is nearly always depicted with two functions of the mind: conscious and subconscious. The conscious (tip of the iceberg) and the subconscious (the near entirety and completely hidden rest of the iceberg). The most important part of the mind is the part you cannot see!

The conscious mind constitutes approximately 3 percent of the mind, and it tries to use willpower to control behaviours, habits, and beliefs but loses out to the subconscious mind's greater influence. Critical thinking, logical thinking, and short-term memory are in the conscious mind.

You think with your conscious mind, whatever you habitually think sinks down into your subconscious mind, which creates according to the nature of your thoughts. Your subconscious mind is the seat of your emotions, attitudes, beliefs, emotions, expectations of yourself, experiences, feelings, habits and addictions, imagination, values, and long-term memory, and is the creative mind. If you think good, good will follow, if you think evil, evil will follow. This is the way your mind works. Since the subconscious mind is not conscious and incapable of reasoning, is therefore non-judgemental and is very flexible and one could think of it as the hard drive of the brain constantly being programmed with life's data.
