- Our thoughts, our feelings and eventually our actions

2) The Law of Polarity – Everything in the universe has its polar opposite. Left has a right. Inside must have an outside. If something bad has happened then there must be something good about it. But it is up to us to choose to focus on one or the other.

3) The Law of Cause and Effect – For every effect in our life there is a cause behind it.Everything happens for a reason, so if we can identify the causes then we’ll be able to control the effects that happen in our lives. Thoughts are causes and circumstances are effects. Our thoughts determine the circumstances in our lives.

4) The Law of Belief – Whatever you believe with feeling will become your reality; your beliefs are a screen that you use to view the world and do not let anything contrary to your beliefs inside. As a man thinketh so is he…

5) The Law of Expectations – Whatever we expect with confidence will become our reality.

What am I expecting, what do I tell myself about how things will unfold for me?

Eg. In the economy – expectations are self fulfilling. The expectation of more inflation in an economy will by its very nature increase inflation.

There are 3 key areas:-

a) What did our parents expect for us?

b) What expectations do I have for my colleagues, friends and other people that I work with?

c) What do I expect from myself? – Probably the most important of all!

6) The Law of Attraction – Each human being is a living magnet.

We all give off a certain frequency by our thoughts, feelings and actions. We have attracted into our lives people, events, circumstances that are in harmony with our own thoughts.

7) Attitude  – Consist of our thoughts, feeling and actions.

Positive mental attitude is a critical prerequisite for success. 80%  of your ability to succeed is determined by your attitude.

Where do attitudes come from?

Our attitudes come from our expectations about outcomes. Eg. What Kind of Outcomes do I expect? Winners have the habit of expecting to succeed well in advance of the actual event. They mentally live through and really imagine the emotions linked to winning in advance.

Where do our expectations come from ?

They come from our beliefs. These are ideas we have picked up and due to repetition and observation we believe them. These beliefs control our decisions and either help us or hinder us in our daily lives.

Where do our beliefs come from?

They are based on our self concept. It is the controlling factor in our performance

Self concept = Self Ideal + Self esteem + self image

How do you think about yourself? What is the image of self that you hold today?
Is it serving you or holding you back?

I look forward to speaking with you.

Mainstream doctors today have only one tool with which to heal patients and that is medicine, or chemicals. This only treats the symptom of an underlying problem, which has its root cause in the mind. Most of us have no idea what our mind is or how it works. This diagram will make it clear.

For simplicity sake we say the mind is made up of two parts, the conscious and the subconscious.We also have a body. In the diagram the mind is larger than the body. We do this to emphasize that the body is an instrument of the mind.Whatever is happening in the mind will be expressed through the body, through behavior.

The conscious mind is the thinking, educated mind. This is where our ability to choose what to think starts.
Our conscious mind accounts for roughly 5 % of our mind power.
The lower half of the mind is the subconscious mind. This is the feeling or emotional mind. This is the part of mind which stores everything we’ve ever experienced. It stores our self image, beliefs, conditioned habits and patterns and our memories.

School crams things into our conscious minds and if we can repeat them we pass but that doesn’t help us much in the real world. In the real world you only get rewarded for what you do, not what you know. What we need to learn is how to condition ourselves to adopt habits that are productive. We need to change our paradigm. The paradigm is a group of habits. These paradigms determine our results.

So our conscious mind thinks and it thinks in pictures. Just think of a pink elephant.
Our subconscious mind is like a recorder, so whatever we habitually think and feel intensely will be impressed on the subconscious. Whatever is impressed on the subconscious will be expressed in the body. Feeling is Vibration. Feelings are always expressed through the body as actions and our habitual action (paradigms) create our results.

If you want to know what you have been thinking about, simply take a look at your results they never lie.
If you don’t like what you see, you simply need to tune into another frequency. Develop an image of what you want. Get excited and inspired  about your new image and see how this changes your habits and ultimately your results.
