I have been in a bit of a rut fighting with my subconscious...I googled "clearing your subconcious" and the first link led me to read something that I felt really inspired by so I am going to share it ( I think it is good even if your subconsious is just fine). It's long but hang in there, it's worth it!
10 Steps.
1. Be the guardian of everything that enters your mind. Know that everything you see hear and feel goes directly into your subconscious mind and you must manage the information you allow in. Eliminate negative information as much as you can by limiting the amount of news you read, stop seeing violent movies, read only positive information. Keep the positive information flowing into your mind and your subconscious will naturally become more positive.
2. Speak kindly to yourself. When you look in the mirror do you like what you see? Do you compliment yourself on your most outstanding attributes? Stop all negative talk to yourself immediately. You are a perfect creation of God and you have beautiful traits that need recognizing. Remind yourself of your great eyes or your winning smile—whatever sets you apart from everyone else in a positive way. Your subconscious will thank you.
3. Surround yourself with positive people. Negative people can quickly lead to negative thoughts. Make sure your group of friends are those that love and admire you for the great person you are. Eliminate any time spent with anyone who brings you down. You can’t afford the hit to your subconscious mind simply to maintain a negative friendship.
4. Use affirmations to your advantage and the optimum times when your subconscious mind is listening. Immediately upon waking and immediately upon going to bed are the times when your conscious and subconscious mind are closest. It is at these times when you get the biggest bang out of your affirmations. Use positive affirmations at these times to super-program the subconscious. Some examples of positive affirmations are:
I am one with the creative power that is materializing all my desires.
Money is my friend. I have plenty of money.
I freely express my creativity
5. Be grateful Oprah Winfrey has done a magnificent job of reminding us all how important it is to have gratitude in our lives. Having gratitude allow us to realize the blessings we already have and keeps us open to receive so much more. Make a list of everything you are grateful for and grow this list as time goes on. On any day when it seems that nothing is going your way refer back to this list and remind yourself of all the blessings you already have. Your subconscious mind needs to know what you are grateful for so it can manifest more of the same for you.
6. Manage your time. There are twenty-four hours in the day for everyone. The wealthy and the poor all have the same amount of time—the difference is in how they use their time. On the first day of each month plan, what you wish to accomplish. At the beginning of each week, make lists that support your plan along with all the necessary tasks that keep life going. Daily make lists of tasks you will accomplish that support all of the above. Keep your to-do list with you and check off all of your accomplished tasks. Your subconscious mind needs to see all the tiny accomplishments it takes for continued growth—not all those little checkmarks on your to-do list will go unnoticed.
7. Surround yourself with your favorite things. Begin today placing your favorite things in full view in your home. Whether these be family pictures, treasures from your travels or sport memorabilia, always keep these things visible. You should be completely comfortable at home and your subconscious mind will benefit your renewed feeling of comfort and the peace you will have at home when you have your favorite things around you.
8. Set aside time for you. Everyone needs time to reflect. Whether you pray, meditate, practice yoga, or just read positive information. Set aside an hour each day for yourself. Your subconscious mind needs to know just how important you are and nothing shows this importance than having time for yourself. Many believe there is not a free hour in the day for themselves. Whether you have to wake an hour early or go to bed an hour later having an hour of peace is an important way to clear your mind and open yourself to the possibilities your subconscious mind can offer.
9. Be the person you admire Make a list of the attributes you most admire in others and incorporate these into your own life—one by one. Once you begin to admire yourself, your subconscious mind will have a higher opinion of you as well.
10. Maintain a lighthearted/happy spirit. Never allow the pressures of the day to bring you down. Make it a point to be light hearted and happy as much as humanly possible. Dwelling on the negatives of life badly affects your subconscious mind. Keeping a positive spirit will keep your subconscious mind well programmed and open to wonderful possibilities.
The return of my all time favorite drama is TONIGHT (and I am smiling as I write this)! Ode to Grey's Anatomy. I have missed you so much, the writers strike tore us apart but now we will meet again in my living room. According to abc.com we will be reunited in 7:55:20 (7 hours, 55 minutes, and 20 seconds...but who's counting). I cannot wait to see what they have in store for us this season...if you are watching tonight think of me and know I am in a happy place.
I was reading my monthly issue of DOMINO when I came across an article about one Heidi Merrick....who is she? She was in the mag showing people how to catch, chill, fillet and cook a fish. No worries, and she looked beautiful doing it. Then I read on and saw a photo of her wearing....her own designs! I went to her site heidimerrick.com and saw what I think are the most amazing pieces. Plus, her images are so stylish and chic. Notice the man with his head all wrapped up...he makes cameos in just about all the pictures for the spring/summer 2008 collection. Mind you the price tag is heavy (sigh) but the clothes are fun to look at and could give you some ideas about what to look for when shopping at more affordable stores. All I know is, I heart Heidi Merrick.
Has made me want to forget the many full (male) frontals that occur int he film. I must admit it was a little shocking for my taste but hey, whatever floats your boat...I chose to close my eyes and ask Tod to tell me when it would be over. Aside from that I LOVED this movie...it was so funny. Jason Segel is hilarious and was meant to play a leading role in a comedy. Kristen Bell looks "hot" or at least that is what Tod said and Mila Kunis is my new favorite person (is she still dating Macaulay Culkin?). Anyhoo, if you are looking for a great laugh this movie had me cracking up...do not measure it to the other comedies with these guys in them just let it be the movie that it as because it is not funnier than movies like Knocked Up and Super Bad.
I'm sorry if you are not a Tory fan but I just lover her, she makes looking glamorous so effortless. She looks done up but not made up. I feel like when she gets ready she focuses less on what should go together and more on what she loves and how she can pull off wearing exactly what she wants. The dress, to die for. The shoes, oh the shoes. And the arm band style bracelet and the mini clutch are too cute. Dear Tory, if you will not be wearing this outfit for awhile (since you were recently photographed in it) can I please pretty please borrow it?
This ad alone makes me want to run out and try these new Marc Jacobs splash scents. Basil, Geapefruit, or Pear. I love fresh scents for when I am running around on the weekends. The colors are so cute too. I am strangely drawn to basil (one of my top three fresh herbs) but cannot imagine smelling like it myself. I will definitely need to go for a little test spritz when I get a chance!
