It is researched and believed that an average person thinks approximately 65,000 thoughts per day. In these 65,000, about 95% are exactly the same thoughts that [passed] through the minds of people the day before.
The idea is to, reduce the number of repetitive thoughts. This can be done by,
1. Reducing the number of negative thoughts and replacing them with the positive ones.
2. Increasing the number of unique thoughts.
A bats man out of form will have more negative thoughts. When Bret Lee balls at 99.9 mph, the batsman’s mind floods with thoughts and when the negative thoughts is more than the positive one’s he becomes out in the easiest way possible. It happens to the best of batsmen. The coach cannot find any fault in the technique of the batsman, so they go for thought conditioning. Day in and day out they flood the mind of the batsmen with positive thoughts. They create an environment where negative thoughts don’t even enter the mind. That’s called conditioning camp. You might have noticed that a team rules the world sports for a long time until they lose the form. But when they are winning their mind is flooded with thoughts of victory. Suddenly, it looks like they are unbeatable. However, with few defeats, the negative thoughts start coming in and the positive thoughts gets into the mind of the other team because they start realizing that they can defeat this undefeatable team.
The same is with baseball players where in they have to strike the ball with the right measure in split seconds and so is it with boxing where in the boxer has to take the shot for the split second that he sees an opening. He doesn’t have time to think at that moment. It looks like seeing and acting happened so fast that there was no processing done in mind. That’s why they are feed with positive thoughts. When mind with nothing but positive’s , it will have no doubts when the opportunity arises. It will direct the body to act so fast that the reaction time looks like nil.
That’s the reason why people with positive attitude are able to sense the opportunity and they spend no time in pouncing on it. Hence, the world terms them as lucky. Everyone can be lucky. All that they have to do is tame the ‘Chattering monkey”.
Have a rubber band around your wrist. Every time the negative thought comes in. Just snap the rubber band so that it hurts a little. That will signal the mind to recognize that it is a negative thoughts and should be replaced. After a while, your mind automatically, will start recognizing the negative and filling it up with positives.
Someone once told me, “ If you don’t use something, you will lose it. It’s the natures law”. You don’t use your muscles, you will lose it. Yeah, just like our tail. You don’t take care of your health, you will lose it. You don’t take care of your family, you will lose it. You don’t take care of your finances, you will lose it. The same is with your mind.
“USE IT or LOSE IT”
