How was your day?

Each of us creates our own reality, so if you start your day on a sour note, guess what…it is likely to stay that way unless you deliberately focus on the positive and MAKE it happen. This is also how we can adapt and change throughout life. (CD Positive Living the subliminal way; Jazzed)

Persuasion: The Incredible Modifying Force of Becoming
By: Vincenzo Fanelli (one of our NFNLP trainers in Italy)

Man has always been looking for the secret to self-realization, to happiness and to the materialization of his desires. (…)

(…) The obstacles he meets are many and of various nature: his environment, his fellow human beings and his self-imposed limits. This last point is fundamental, since our deepest convinctions represent both a strength and a weakness.

In the past, psychologists were convinced it was impossible to change one’s mind: if our character is established in a certain way, we shall die with that type of mind. But, as we are going to see, research has shown the contrary to be true: it is possible to change and to push beyond one’s limits. Let’s try and understand our mind’s functioning in the light of the latest discoveries.

For instance, when we grab a pen from our desk we set in motion a series of movements, contracting our muscles without a precise will. In other words: we choose an objective (getting the pen) and our brain transforms into action what we have desired.

When a child learns how to grab an object for the first time his/her hand is uncertain and forced to make a series of corrections. Later on, through experience, that uncertainty disappears, also thanks to the corrections which have been learnt on the way.

To build a mechanism similar to the human mind, English neurophysicist W. Grey Walter maintains that ten billion electronic cells occupying one million and a half cubic feet of space would be necessary, and that their functioning would require an energy equal to one billion watts.

This wonderful mechanism levers also on the deep convictions to be found within every individual. These are real pillars on which he/she bases his/her existence: they are the ones “telling” us what we can do and what lies outside our potential. What we believe in the mental films we create for ourselves have a fundamental importance in our existence since they influence our behaviour and our perception of the reality surrounding us.

The expectations which every day we create in our minds “program” our encounters, our arguments, our discussions with certain persons and even the outcome of certain events. Psychologist William Multon Masterson advised his patients “to simulate” mentally work meetings or important situations they were supposed to face seeing themselves as successful persons. In other words, he suggested to create mentally a film incident to specific events in which we are both directors and main characters.

An example of what I’m saying consists of the so-called “morning expectations:” have you ever realized that in the morning, as soon as we wake up, we formulate some mental films or thoughts on events we are going to face in the course of the day? And have you ever realized that these expectations become a reality? Clearly, I am not referring to intentional thoughts, but to those “little thoughts” of fear and doubt surfacing without our consent. If, for instance, as soon as we wake up we think about a colleague of ours criticizing us or with whom we are going to argue, punctually, this self-fulfilling prophecy will come true.
