Of the thousands of thoughts you think every day, an estimated 90-95% are the same thoughts you had the day before, and the day before, and the day before that. Freaky, right? But not necessarily a bad thing. After all, if you woke each morning and had to work out how to use your tooth brush, and fully consider the purpose of toast, you'd never get out of the door!
Having an Autopilot is incredibly useful. In fact, everything you do superbly well you do on Autopilot, from the simple tasks such as a handshake, to the more complex tasks such as driving your car. It is the basis of your Effortless Success. (If you've ever arrived at your destination only to realise you don't remember driving, you'll know what I mean.) But what about those little 'programs' which take you to places you don't want to go? Taking the exit for work, while driving elsewhere on your day off, is not that useful. Nor is swerving to avoid a small creature on the road and ending up nose-down in a ditch.
The good news is that you don't need to live with Autopilot bugs and glitches. You are the programmer, adding new code every moment of every day. It's just that very few of us have ever been given the User Manual! So here's the scoop: Everything you give your attention to, your Autopilot (unconscious mind) takes as an instruction, a request to find or create more of the same. This is a wonderful thing, as long as you focus on what you want. But if you give all your attention to your troubles and problems, current or anticipated, your Autopilot still says 'You want more problems? Ok, here you go!'
Your task then is simple: Keep your eyes on the road ahead, and continually steer your attention towards what you want - the most pleasing aspects of your life as it is, and the most inspiring aspects of the future you are creating. But 'simple' and 'easy' are two different things. A lifetime of programming is rarely over-written in a day!
So here's a little something I put together which I hope will help: A 5 minute MindMovie packed with positive affirmations, inspiring images and an uplifting soundtrack - all aligned with creating an effortless, authentic and enjoyable Life Journey.
