use your rational mind
Maybe you will say that my theory (the ideal of innateness as a way to change negative thoughts) is simple and shallow, and you will even be disappointed.Some people will think that such an idea is too naive and very unscientific.But plenty of evidence shows that it is solid and useful.Because it is based on rational scientific research.It seems that everyone is more willing to accept a seemingly rational and reasonable idea: positive thinking will not change the subconscious mind, because negative thoughts, feelings or behaviors originate from the "subconscious mind".

But you have to know that your subconscious mind is an "automatic mechanism", it is completely impersonal, it really exists in your heart, and it is not affected by your own wishes.When you want to give yourself the appropriate response in a particular situation, and then provide action material or ideas, it only works on your material and ideas.Know that it is your conscious mind that controls your subconscious mind.Only through it can the subconscious mind shape your response, however irrational and unpositive it may be.All this confirms the fact that the subconscious mind can only be changed through conscious rational thinking.

It seems to be generally accepted that in psychotherapy, like in movies and TV, the psychologist guides the patient to reminisce about his childhood, and digs out some of his deepest roots and causes.It's like exploring an unknown past.And it seems that this kind of psychotherapy is performed many times.

Some friends told me that he had many problems to consult and many behaviors he wanted to change, but he had to visit a psychologist every week, which made him very distressed.The whole process is reminiscing and excavating the past of childhood.While this may be "reasonable", is this really the only way to achieve change?Moreover, this therapy does not necessarily cure him.A person who still can't get the desired effect after this kind of treatment plan can see that endless reminiscences of childhood can't play a big role.We might as well use the rational thinking that is consistent with our imagination at the moment to change our self-image.Take a look at the formula I listed:
For example, our control system is a guided missile. We use conscious rational thinking to select the current target, and then fill in your imagination to form a way that is easily accepted by yourself, and tell your target to your self-image .

Use rational thinking to improve yourself
Let me tell you an example in life, there is a picky eater in every family.Little John never ate bacon, but his parents loved it so much that they wanted bacon for every meal.Mom often gave Little John a taste of the "delicious" bacon, but Little John never took a bite.One day at the dinner table, my mother began to persuade Little John to try bacon again.Little John frowned and decided to try "damn bacon" in order to get his mother to "stop nagging".Little John took the first bite with a sad face, and then the second, he didn't stop.Slowly, his brows seemed to widen. Finally, after eating the bacon on the plate, he said, "Unexpectedly, the bacon is quite delicious." A week later, Johnny took the initiative to tell his mother that he wanted to eat bacon!
Thinking about it carefully, there may be many reasons why Little John doesn't like bacon, and his parents, and even himself don't necessarily know it.They never revealed it, and we have no way of finding out, because there is no need.Yes, there is no need to try hard to recall the past of childhood, no need to overwhelm anyone with all kinds of previous experiences, let alone secretly ponder the conversations of adults to try to change your mind.In fact, some psychological obstacles or problems are not more complicated than hating to eat bacon.But there's no comparison in the impact the two can have on you - who wouldn't want a perfect, good life experience?
Perhaps many people, even experts in this subject, will think this is unreasonable and incorrect.But the facts show that most people can achieve some changes through psycho-control techniques without analyzing the past experience.

Good at forgetting wrong experiences

If you think about it carefully, the unhappiness, frustration and pain of the past are deeply buried in the subconscious.But digging, reminiscing, or exploring these experiences doesn't necessarily change character.In fact, any ability is mastered through continuous practice. These exercises are a process of "fail once, and continue to practice next time by summarizing the experience and lessons learned this time".Once successful, the pattern of this exercise will be engraved in your mind for the next recall and "learning".In real life, any ability to play, play, work, and socialize follows this principle.We can conclude that any thoughts in your head contain your past mistakes, experiences, lessons and pains, as well as your "methods" to eliminate them.As long as you use it reasonably, all of these will provide powerful and important support for your studies.

In this way, it is not difficult for us to find that as long as the mistakes are corrected, new problems will be discovered during the correction process and continue to be corrected.What we need to do is to properly and consciously forget the mistakes, and equally consciously remember and consolidate the successful experience.

Consciously focus your thoughts and attention on current positive goals, while appropriately refraining from recalling unpleasant failures.

Our ultimate goal of mastering any skill is to make it successful and use it.But in the process of mastering it, there will inevitably be setbacks and mistakes. These memories that cause you unpleasantness and even shame are not our ultimate goal.Therefore, as long as you successfully obtain the results you want, these bad experiences should be consciously forgotten.On the contrary, if you keep trying to recall those unpleasant experiences in the past, you will feel ashamed and even demeaned from the bottom of your heart.It is impossible to accomplish the "ultimate goal".Think about it, those who are unhappy and depressed, who are not constantly recalling past mistakes, criticizing themselves, and torturing themselves?You might as well let go of digging into the past, and actively and rationally control your emotions and self-image.

try to forget
In a piano performance, the pianist may not have a good grasp of emotion in a certain section, but he can still continue to perform the next section perfectly without hesitation.Compared with his superb musicality, he is good at forgetting his previous mistakes. This character is equally important.

If you dwell on past failures or the fact that it was just a small mistake, you may even come to the stupid conclusion that "I couldn't do this before, and I can't do it this time."In fact, the subconscious mind does not repeat your failures.So we become victims of the subconscious, because we draw conclusions for ourselves.The role of past failures is only for us to learn lessons and succeed next time.

don't care about past failures

If you hypnotize an enthusiastic, positive person into thinking he is a passive, apathetic coward, his response patterns will change instantly.In the same way, we hypnotize a shy, timid person into believing that he is a confident, bold speaker, and his pattern of responses changes immediately.So we can say that what you believe you can do at this moment, you can do it yourself.Just focus on positive goals and don't think about past setbacks and failures.Psychologist F. M. H. Myers said that the brilliance and abilities displayed by hypnotic subjects should be attributed to the "memory washing" of past failed experiences under hypnosis.Then we might as well think of it this way, if a person can achieve "memory cleansing" under hypnosis, and the hypnotized object only inhibits his chance to express his talents because he can't let go of past setbacks and failures.Why not try to allow a person to gain some strength that should exist in a sane state by ignoring the setbacks of the past?Of course, the premise is that these talents really exist.And with a sincere new belief that you do have the talent to make it happen.

We mentioned a lot of psychological control methods earlier. After repeated practice, it is not difficult for us to achieve "success with our own imagination".Just like you firmly believe that your dream will be successful.

Bertrand Russell once said that when he was young, he was always on the verge of suicide.He is weary and hates life, but the idea of ​​suicide is terminated by the desire to learn.Later he came to enjoy life and even started to love life.Like a Puritan-educated person, reflect on yourself, see yourself as a poor person, and pay more attention to external things than to your own shortcomings.This is when life is discovered to be beautiful.

When you feel ashamed about something from the past, you should try to rationalize to yourself that it wasn't bad, and try to analyze why you feel ashamed.You may realize that the shame is unfounded and unnecessary.Therefore, it is entirely feasible to use some methods to overcome or correct the negative self-suggestion in your subconscious.We have to admit that some strong and vivid consciousness can have a great impact on our subconscious mind.It even affects Fan Wei more than the imprint of childhood.So we can't just be satisfied with the mutual replacement of rationality and irrationality.Carefully observe your irrational side, and be determined not to pay attention to it in the New Year, and get rid of its control over you.Whenever and wherever, as long as it leads some childish or stupid thoughts into your behavior, it must be eradicated.Then find a way to forget about them completely, don't be affected by them, and turn yourself into an indecisive coward.Keep rational at all times so that you will not be alternately controlled by reason and irrationality.

In other words, if there is a voice in your head that is leading you to success, happiness, or the life you have always wanted in life, then you should think deeply and study that voice in your head.Many people think that as long as they forget (or don't completely forget, just temporarily) some childish and sentimental thoughts in childhood, such as ridiculous blind worship for some reason, they always feel that irrational thinking has been completely over, and there is no need to make any more efforts for it.But these conscious forgettings are likely to be hidden deep in your subconscious, and you don't necessarily know it yourself.When an appropriate and reasonable thought arises, we should get to know it and study it to find out whether this new thought has been influenced by some irrational subconscious mind.

So I suggest that a person should consciously keep in mind his emotions, beliefs or thoughts in a rational state.Work hard to prevent irrational beliefs from controlling your behavior.In other words, when we can't stand the temptation, we try to convince ourselves to return to rationality.Although this rationality may exist for a very short time, it requires frequent practice.

Actions are not just thoughts
I have contacted a large number of friends, and through observation, some of the thoughts deep in their hearts do not match the negative concepts.The book soldier of the mind itself is that ideas and concepts must be consistent on the surface, and if an idea does not align with consciousness, then it is rejected by the ego.One of my patients, a salesman, said he was terrified when he called on big shots.His fears and tensions were resolved through a counseling session.I asked him this way: "Objectively speaking, do you attach great importance to these people, so when you come into contact with them nervously, will you bow down respectfully to the ground?" "Of course not!" He looked very angry. "Then why do you have to be respectful and servile to him in your heart?" I said.

He was lost in thought, and I then asked him: "When you entered their office, did you ask for a coin or food like a beggar?" "No." He answered firmly.

"So when you pay too much attention to whether your sales to this big man will be successful, you don't see that what you are doing is pure sales, right? That is to say, you can persuade him generously and naturally, on your order Sign it and make him respect you like a human being."
Using Psycho-Cybernetics to Get What You Want

There are two very important factors that can be used to change beliefs and perceptions.That is, a certain feeling and belief (such as "I can do it well") and another belief that one should not be insulted by something or someone.Everyone knows this deep down, deep down.Using neurolinguistic design theory, we provide new explanations for two concepts: pain and achievement.Pain and subconsciousness are effective factors that motivate people to work hard, and they can control people's actions most quickly, easily and decisively.Knowing this, you cannot use them to motivate yourself to positive and effective action.Jeff Paul, a board member of the Mind Control Foundation, is also a beneficiary of this psychotherapy approach.He was a quite successful visa financial planner.But the success of this work did not bring him joy.He didn't like the dullness and routine of the job.But one day, rational thinking suddenly flashed, and he understood that there is no need to do things that he doesn't like and make himself unhappy in order to make a living.Apparently he was right.
