Rules of the mind Flashcards
(13 cards)
Blueprint
Every thought you think and every word you say is a blueprint that your mind, body and psyche work to make real
Lemon test
Every thought you think has a physical reaction and an emotional response
Imagination vs logic
Imagination (and feelings, emotion) is more powerful than logic. The subconscious is the feeling mind and the conscious is the logic mind. Logic can never defeat emotion.
Repetion
Your mind learns by repetition
Be careful what you expect
What you expect almost always tends to be realized
Your mind lets it in
Your mind does not care if what you tell it is good or bad, true or false, helpful or unhelpful, useful or useless – it lets it in
Be careful what you believe
You make your beliefs and then your beliefs turn right around and make you
Familiar vs unfamiliar
You are hard wired and super coded to resist what is unfamiliar and to run back to what is familiar
Mind your words/thoughts
The way you feel about anything is down to the words you use
“If something upsets you, it is not the thing itself that is upsetting, it is how you view the thing. And this you have the power to revoke at any time.”
Your mind only responds to two things: the pictures you put in your head and the words you use
Conflicting beliefs
The mind cannot hold conflicting beliefs
Tell your mind exactly what you want
Your mind does what it thinks you want it to do
Pain vs pleasure
Your mind moves you away from pain and towards pleasure
