HABIT you must BREAK to STOP the NEGATIVE Programming of Your MIND
Point Explanation
Thoughts Have Power We know thoughts are powerful but often don't know how to harness that power effectively.
We typically wait for crises like trauma or loss to push us to change, but we can start changing

today.
Everything, including our bodies and minds, is made up of atoms, which are mostly energy.

your mind can change your life.
Accessing Potential By using our minds, we can access a vast potential for change and improvement.
Three main problems hinder positive change: the body's control over the mind, the

environment, and time.
Problem 1: Body Controls Over time, our bodies take control through habits, making change dif cult. About 95% of our
Mind actions are habitual and unconscious.
To change, the mind must regain control from the body, which resists change by making us

feel tired or doubtful.
The hardest habit to break is the habit of being ourselves, as our bodies resist the mind's
Habit of Being Yourself
attempts to change.
Positive Thinking Alone Positive thinking alone is ineffective if the mind and body are not aligned. True change

Feelings adopted.

To create something new, we must change our habitual thoughts and feelings.
Feelings
Living in the past or fearing the future keeps us in stress mode, which is harmful. Our bodies
Problem 3: Time
react to memories as if the events are happening now, causing chronic stress.
Constant stress depletes our energy and harms our health, leading to illnesses. The body's

emergency mode uses up energy needed for growth and repair.
For positive change, we need to shift from survival mode to creative mode, which we can

achieve through activities that make us lose track of time and self.
Meditation Meditation helps us enter a creative state where we can construct a new self and reality.
Traditionally, we think, do, and then become. Meditation allows us to go directly from thinking
Thinking, Doing, Being
to being by visualizing and feeling the emotions of our desired state.
Write down your goals and feel the emotions of already achieving them. This aligns your mind

and body to manifest these goals.
Believe in the power of this method and don't worry about how it will happen. Trust your
