Have I ever
mentioned how powerful the subconscious mind is? As in, the SCM wants nothing more than to do what you tell it
to do. You don’t even have to mean what you are thinking about; an idea just
pops into your head and is gone in a nanosecond. Until…
I decided to
wear my red jeans tonight so I could throw the blues into the washing machine
with my other dark colors. I didn’t want to run the machine again just wash my
magenta top; but if I could wait until tomorrow evening to throw the red jeans in
with the shirt, that would be an acceptable load. Funny, my subconscious
obviously didn’t agree with this strategy. Somehow, while I was eating dessert
a stray blob of ice cream dripped off my spoon, onto the edge of the kitchen
table and right on the leg of my red jeans. Really? Come on! I had only been wearing them for a couple of hours!
In my blog
titled Power
of Thinking, I described the premise of John Kappas, Ph.D.’s book titled Success Is Not an Accident.
According to the Hypnosis Motivation
Institute founder, any thought or idea that we program into our
subconscious mind becomes a subconscious
mental script; it is these mental scripts that determine the outcome of our
thoughts—stray and intentional. Whether we imagine a positive or negative
result, the SCM follows that mental script and work to actualize the goal it
thinks you “want.”
If blogs have
“morals,” this one is, be careful what
you think of. I guess I really did want to wash those red items tonight.
