A 40-year-old mental health technique treats your subconscious like a bank of thoughts. Each negative thought you catch, you generate two positive ones to reprogram it. The speaker has used this method for four decades and says it gradually shifts your outlook, though negativity still happens sometimes.
Chapters
I read this book 40 years ago and it was talking about how the subconscious works. And it was saying like, if you have a thought in your mind, that's negative, that every time you have this thought, it like goes into this bank of negative thoughts. Right. And eventually your subconscious is ruling you. And that's your outlook coming from this negative thought. And it said, you can reprogram your subconscious by every time you have that negative thought, create 2 opposite thoughts. So that the positive bank on the opposite side starts to increase. And eventually when you overcome those, that negative thinking and you have those positive thoughts, that then your subconscious mind is coming from another place. It's coming from another perspective of positivity and not negative thoughts. And I've been doing that for 40 years. And I'd like to say I never have a negative thought, but it's not true. But I'm present and aware of most of my thoughts. And when I have a negative thought, I'll start replacing it.
