Success - 3 Keys to Taking Control of Your Thoughts - September 4, 2008 -

Your thoughts are a major part of the success that you have in your life. If you have thoughts that tell you that you cant succeed then you will find it very difficult to succeed at anything. However, if you have thoughts that assist you in your success then you will have much more success. Here are 3 keys to help you take control of your thoughts so you can succeed at whatever you put your hand to.

1. Become aware of what your thoughts are.

Do you know what kind of thoughts you have during the day or do your thoughts just happen without you ever knowing what is going on? If you start paying attention to what you are thinking you will find out that you may not be thinking things that will help you. Start monitoring what you are thinking and rate your thoughts on how much they either help you succeed or hinder you to succeed.

2. Snap your thoughts away.

One of the best ways to change your thought patterns is by snapping them away with a rubber band. I learned this from a book called The One Minute Millionaire. Put a rubber band around your wrist. Every time that you realize you are thinking something that is negative snap the rubber band. You may be a bit sore for a while but before long you will stop thinking limiting thoughts because you dont want to snap that rubber band any more.

3. Replace your thoughts.

The moment you realize that you are thinking about something that will hinder your success, immediately start to think about ways to become successful. You have to train your mind to think the way you want it to. This may take a few weeks but you will begin to see the results of it in your life very soon.
