Do You Allow A TV In The Bedroom?

                                "Stand guard at the door of your mind."

                                                     - Jim Rohn

Do you allow a TV in the bedroom and do you leave it on while you go to sleep?

Today I want to share with you why it is a really bad idea to leave your TV on after you fall asleep.

I believe most of you know that we have a conscious and a subconscious mind. They are responsible for totally different things.

The conscious mind is the part of the mind that is thinking, planning, calculating and it is responsible for the reasoning. The conscious mind can accept and reject anything. If you don´t like something or disagree with something... it will simply reject it.
On the other hand it can accept anything that you like and that aligns with what you feel and believe is true.

Think of the conscious mind as the gate-keeper of the subconscious mind. Before you are going to allow anything to enter the subconscious mind, it has to get passed the gate-keeper.

The subconscious mind has a perfect memory. It will remember anything that you have ever smelled, heard, seen, tasted, touched, thought and felt. All this information has been stored in your subconscious mind. Think of  the subconscious mind like a giant filing-cabinet. Information will always be there for you to refer back to.

When something happens you can just go back to the filing-cabinet and pull the information back out. 

                                                       "Be vigilant; 

                            guard your mind against negative thoughts." 

                                                        - Buddha



The subconscious mind is always awake and responsive. 24 hours per day, seven days a week and 365 days a year. It never sleeps. It accepts without question anything. Good or bad... it goes to the subconscious to be filed forever. The subconscious accepts a command or instruction without analyzing it and it doesn´t reject it either. It has unlimited power potential and it also has unlimited storage capacity.
The subconscious mind is estimated to be about 30 000 times more powerful than the conscious mind.

Since the subconscious mind will accept anything and everything that we feed it and it has a perfect memory it becomes extremely important that we feed it the right stuff. We must stand guard (be the gate-keeper) at the door of our own mind.
If we allow our minds to be wide open to everything it can be very detrimental to us.

This is the reason why we should not leave the TV or radio on after we have fallen asleep.
Anything that is being said can slip right on by the conscious mind and the sleeping gate-keeper and it will go strait back to the subconscious to be filed. 

The thing is... you don´t even know what information and ideas that just slipped by... do you?
If you had been awake you might have rejected them, but since you are now sleeping and the gate-keeper is also sleeping... anything and everything will pass through the gate.

You are asleep together with the gate-keeper... but your subconscious mind is wide awake and ready to take in anything that you are feeding it from a TV or a radio.

Do you know what kind of information and ideas that is being given to you by the TV or radio while you are sleeping?
Remember... good or bad... the subconscious mind will accept it as true and it will file it away for later references.

It isn´t smart to turn our minds over to just anyone or anything.
Don´t let anyone just dump a lot of ideas and information into your mind, because you are the one that gets to live with the consequences of it. 

                      "Your thoughts today become your reality tomorrow.

                         Guard your mind and only let the good things in."

Guard your mind. Be the gate-keeper.

And when you are tired and sleeping... make sure that it is quiet around you

It's Time to Dream Big Dreams

                                      "Dreams are extremely important.

                                    You can't do it unless you imagine it."

                                                  - George Lucas

Make 2021 a fantastic year for you.

Imagine that you have no limitations.
Imagine that you have all the time, unlimited amount of money, all the friends and contacts that you need, all the education, all the experience and all the resources.
And you can be, have and do anything that you want in life... What Would It Be?

                                       "Dream big. Start small. Act now."

                                                  - Robins S. Sharma 

Start practicing back from the future thinking.
Develop a vision of yourself as happy, healthy and wealthy.
Practice what successful people practice. It is called idealization.
You project forward several years and you imagine that your life is perfect in every way. 

                                              "Dream big and dare to fail."

                                                      - Norman Vaughn 

If your life was perfect in 5 years... What would it look like?

Where would you live?
What kind of family life would you have?
What kind of health/fitness would you have?
What kind of job would you have?
How much would you make?
How much would you be worth?
What kind of friends would you have?
What kind of house would you live in?
What kind of car would you drive?
What kind of resources would you have? 

                                 "Never give up on what you really want. 

                        The person with big dreams is more powerful than 

                                             the on with all the facts."

                                                 - Albert Einstein 

Here is a TIP!
Create a dream or a vision of a wonderful future.

Create a dream or a vision of a wonderful future.
Take a piece of paper and make  out a "Dream List"
Allow your mind to run wild. There are no limitations here.
Write down everything that you want.

When you do this you will start to activate "The Law of Attraction" and you will begin to attract, people, circumstances, ideas, resources and insight and it will begin to move you toward accomplishing your goals and it will begin to move the goals toward you. 

                                        "The future belongs to those 

                               who believe in the beauty of their dreams."

                                              - Eleanor Roosevelt 

Think BIG, dream BIG, believe BIG, and the results will be BIG.

It is time to DREAM BIG DREAMS!!!

Today a Reader... Tomorrow a Leader

                                           "There is no friend as loyal as a book."

                                                        - Ernest Hemingway

Everything in life is continuous growth.

Either we grow or we die.

Either we continue to climb or we will slide back. And there is no standing still either.

The training, growing and the learning never stops.

It is constant, never ending improvements of ourselves that will make us the most happy, fulfilled and alive.

Make a habit of feeding your mind with something uplifting and empowering on a daily basis.

Raise your standards by reading a book for at least 30-60 minutes per day.

                             "Miss a meal if you have to, but don't miss a book."

                                                         - Jim Rohn


Why is reading so important?

The brain requires exercise to keep it strong and healthy.
The same way our bodies need exercise and healthy eating to function well.
Reading a book is excellent exercise for the brain.
Remember.... if you don´t use it, you lose it.

If you want your brain to work the way you want it it to, then you have to continue to use it in a create way each and every single day. It's up to you to do this, no one will force you to use and exercise your brain daily. The discipline has to come from you.

Everything you read fills your head with new information and new fresh ideas and you never know when this information or ideas might come in handy.

                                     "The world belongs to those who read."

                                                        - Rick Holland 

The more knowledge you have, the better off you will be to tackle life´s challenges and obstacles.

A new idea can also be life changing. It can be the beginning of a new business, new lifestyle, new friendships or new adventures.

Reading will also improve your memory, your focus and your concentration.

You can lose your family, friends, money, your house or your job... but knowledge can never be taken away from you.

Keep on going and keep on learning every day.

Discipline Or The Pain Of Regret

                     "Success is nothing more than a few simple disciplines,

                                                 practiced every day."

                                                        - Jim Rohn

If you want to do something about your future, you must decide that you want to make it better.

And to make it better you must accept responsibility.

Doing better comes from getting better. 

Getting better happens from the discipline of doing better and better.
Getting better doesn´t happen from wishful thinking.

Discipline is required for progress. Affirmations alone won´t do the trick.

                               "Without self-discipline success is impossible, 

                                                           period."

                                                      - Lou Holtz

Make a conscious decision to create a positive habit and then repeat it every day until it becomes automatic.
Tell yourself that no matter what is going on in the world and in your life, you won´t quit your new habit.

Successful people have more than education and experience.
They have good habits and attitudes.

The key to create any habit (healthy or unhealthy) is consistency.

Breaking bad habits can be difficult, but it´s within your power. 

                           "Discipline yourself, and others won't have to." 

                                                      - John Wooden 

As humans we are often a product of our environment, so make sure that you surround yourself with people who will lead you to success. 

If you are surrounded by negative, fearful and lazy people, it will be hard for you to motivate yourself to achieve your goals. 

                                  "Persistence is self-discipline in action." 

                                                     - Brain Tracy 

Be positive, persistent, yet patient, have resilience and always be adaptable.
