How to break or build a habit
You are a creature of habit. Habit is the function of your subconscious mind.You learned to swim, ride a bicycle, dance, and drive a car by consciously doing these things over and over again until they established tracks in you subconscious mind. Then, the automatic habit action of your subconcious mind took over. This is sometimes called second nature, which is sometimes called mind to your thinking and acting.
You are free to choose a good habit or a bad habit. If you repeat a negative thought or act over a period of time, you will be under the compulsion of a habit. The law of your
How he broke a bad habit.
Mr.X said to me. "An uncontrollable urge to drink seizes me, and I remain drunk for two weeks at a time. I can't give up this terrible habit."
Time and time again these experiences had occurred to this unfortunate the man. He has grown into the habit of drinking to excess. Although he had started drinking of this own initiative, he also began to realize that he could change the habit and establish a new one. He said that while through his will power he was able to suppress his desires temporarily, his continued efforts to suppress the many urges only made matters worse. His repeated failures convinced him that he was hopeless and powerless to control his urge or
I taught him to harmonize the functions of the conscious and subconscious mind. when these two cooperate, the idea or desire implanted in the subconscious mind is realized. His reasoning mind agreed that if the old habit path or track had carried him into trouble, he could consciously form a new that his destructive habit was automatic, but since it was acquired through his conscious choice, he ralized that if he had been conditioned negatively, he also could be conditioned positively. As a result, he ceased thinking of the fact that he was powerless to overcome the habit. Moreover, he understood clearly that there was no obstacle to his healing other than his own thought.
Therefore, there was no occasion for great mental effort or mental coerction.
The power of his mental picture
This man acquired a practice of relaxing his body and getting into a relaxed, drowsy, meditative state. Then he filled his mind with the picture of the desired end, knowing his subconscious mind could bring it about the easiest way. HE imagined his daughter congratulating him on his freedom, and saying him, "Daddy, it's wonderful to have you home!" He had lost his family through drink.He was not allowed to visit them, and his wife would not speak to him.
Regularly, systematically, he used to sit down and meditate in the way outlined. When his attention wandered, he made it a habit to immediately recall the mental picture of his daughter with her smile and the scene of his home enlivened by her cheerful voice.all this brough about a reconditioning of his mind. It was a gradual process. He kept it up. He preserved knowing that sooner or later he would esatblish a new habit pattern in his subconscious mind.
I told him that he could liken his conscious mind to a camera, that his subconscious mind was the sensitive plate on which he registered and impressed the picture. This made a proound impression on him, and his whole aim was to firmly impress the picture on his mind and develop it there.Films are developed in the dark; likewise, mental pictures are developed in the darkroom of the subconscious mind.
Focused attention
Realizing that his conscious mind was simply a camera, he used no effort. There was no mental struggle. He quietly adjusted his thoughts and focused his attention on the scenebefore him until he gradually became identified with the picture. He became absorbed in the mental atmosphere, repeating the mental movie frequently. There was no room for doubt that a healing would follow. When there was any temptation to drink, he would switch his imagination from any reveries of drinking bouts to the feeling of being at home with his family. He was successful because he confidently expected to experience the picture he developing in his mind.
There magic steps
The first step: Get still; quiet the wheels of the mind.Enter into a sleepy, drowsy state. In this relaxed, peaceful, receptive state, you are preparing for the second step.
The second step: Take a brief phrase, which can readily be graven on the memory , and repeat it over and over as a lullably. Use the phrase,"Sobriety and pease of mind are mine now, and I give thanks." To prevent the mind from wandering, repeat it aloud or sketch its pronunciation with the lips and tongue as you say it mentally. This helps its entry into the subconscious mind. Do this for five minutes or more.You will find a deep emotional response.
The third steop: Just before going to sleep, practice what Johann von Goethe, German author, used to do. Imagine a friend, a loved one in front of you. Your eyes are closed, you are relaxed and at peace. The loved one or friend is subjectively present, and is saying to you, "Congratulations!" You see the smile; you hear the voice. You mentally touch the hand; it is all real and vivid. The word congratulations imply complete freedom. Hear it over and over again until you get the sub-conscious reaction, which satisfies.
