Conscious Thoughts Become Subconscious Beliefs in Golf & Life

Are you aware that the words you speak and the thoughts you think, become your subconscious beliefs?
Your conscious and subconscious mind have separate functions, yet they work together. The beauty is that you have some control of both of them. You may have heard the term, “conscious control” used before. That’s because our conscious mind controls part of you subconscious mind.
Your conscious mind is the critical factor, it’s the one reading, ingesting and deciding whether or not this information is appropriate not. Your conscious mind is constantly taking in new information and either keeping or disposing the contents.
Your subconscious mind is more like a computer. It is non-critical and does not make judgments. Just like a computer you can add and remove programs at will. Unlike a computer, your subconscious can take on huge quantities of information and process all of it at incredible speeds.
The first time you learn something new, you must think of how to do it consciously. Skills like learning to walk, feeding ourselves, riding a bicycle, and playing golf, are usually learned by listening to or watching another do the skill so we can figure out how we can do it.
I remember the first time I learned how to drive a stick shift. I thought I would never get it, as I jerked the car back and forth from one gear to the next. Of course it didn’t take long before I was shifting gears, shifting lanes and with a drink in my hand, (don’t try that at home!) Once these skills have been learned and programmed into your subconscious mind, you no longer consciously need to think about it. Your subconscious takes over the automatic pilot part of your mind, unlike the first time you ever tried it, and allows you to perform without thinking of “how to perform”.
Your subconscious takes care of your autonomic system. Can you imagine if you consciously had to think about every heart beat and every breath you took? That wouldn’t leave much time to drive a car! Your subconscious mind deals with hundreds of different tasks simultaneously among other responsibilities which allows the conscious mind for a higher plane of thinking, reasoning and learning.
Here is where the Law of Attraction comes in. Our beliefs are usually formed and then embedded in our subconscious. Your subconscious mind does not pass judgment; it only accepts what your conscious mind told it.
So if you believe that poor people are good and rich are bad, or “money is the root of all evil” - your subconscious mind will not let you be rich because it believes that being rich would make you a bad person, and that money is evil and therefore not good for you! (Phew, that was a mouthful!) Therefore it sees being rich as a bad thing. That in effect is the law of attraction. Your conscious thoughts turned into subconscious beliefs, which is what you will attract in your life.
Subconscious programming can be very positive if you believe that it’s your right to be wealthy. (We were all put on this earth to live life with abundance). A great mind power wealth belief is having more money enables you to help more people. Isn’t that a great reason to think about why you should have more… to give some away!
Feed your mind with positive places, people, and events to ultimately achieve your positive reality. How do you get more positive events occurring in your life? Think positively in all moments and at all times - don’t allow yourself to become distracted by the negativities of life. We all have “stuff” that happens to us… and? You’re not going to sulk about it, and continue to bring more suffering in your life, are you? Well wake up and do something about it. Look, complaining statements like, “my life is just the pits and I never get a break”, will bring more of what you are complaining about. So now is your chance to do something about it. RIGHT NOW!
Decide that feeling good and being positive is a dominant part of your life. You must become aware of what you no longer want, and decide what you do what. Focus on what you want to have, do or become. Your positive thoughts will manifest positive outcomes. Be patient and persistent!
I listened to Zig Ziglar many years ago and remember being so inspired by his message. He said that if you want be a millionaire than surround yourself around millionaires. If you want to move up the ladder in life, spend time with people that are either at the top or getting to the top.
- The rich spend time with the rich!
- The poor spend time with the poor!
- The lonely spend time with the lonely!
- The happy spend time with the happy!
To create new subconscious programming, find people who are already successfully running those programs that you want. If you want to be a better golfer, play with better golfers. If you want to move up the company ladder, have lunch with the higher-ups, and make sure you play golf with them!
