Without a clear understanding of how your mind works, it’s tempting to get to work on ‘improving’ your mindset… and inadvertently messing it up.
Here are my top 5 ways you can work really hard on self-improvement, and actually mess yourself up in the process…
#5: Affirmations
I don’t need to look in the mirror every morning and say:
“I, Mamoon, am a brown man.
I am a brown man.
I am a brown man….”
You know why?
Because I AM a brown man.
I don’t need convincing. Affirmations can be a subtle sub-conscious way of telling yourself that you’re actually not what you want to be (because if you were that way… you wouldn’t need to say it over and over).
Let me give you the next 4 without explanation…
#4: Inner-Child Healing Techniques
#3: Therapies that go into the Past
#2: Mindfulness Meditation
#1: Positive Thinking
Are these all terrible ideas?
No.
They’re excellent ideas. In fact, they’re the best ideas people could possibly have come up with… WITHOUT understanding the Psychological Reality of how the mind actually works.
When you know the true source of experience and how the mind works, in reality, then none of these techniques or approaches to self-improvement make sense any more.
Plus, doing all those things regularly takes quite a bit of time, energy and effort. So this might have just saved you a good few hours a week. You’re welcome.
“What should I be doing instead?”, I hear you ask.
Simple. Go through “The Paradigm Shift”.
