Re-arrange your kitchen, bathroom or office... andwatch what happens. I'll say no more but I would be interested in your feedback as, no doubt, you might be yourself!!

No, there's no typographical error in the headline... it's deliberate. For the last few weeks we've been talking about, quite literally, the inherent danger in thinking. Before we go any further, I'm not talking about evaluating, reflecting or expertly analyzing... I'm talking about plain old thinking and the fact that our thinking is patterned and repetitive. OK, now that we've got that clarification out of the way, back to the issue of thinking... not thinking too much, thinking at all!

At the risk of repeating myself, we daily do battle with approximately 70,000 thoughts which are almost exclusively the same from one day to the next. These thoughts have little or no bearing on the reality of the moment at hand - they are regurgitated constantly by our subconscious. Many of them are fairly innocuous, the only harm they'll do you is that they distance you from the reality of the here and now, which is, actually, harm enough. But some of them are doing you real damage. The damagers are lurking deep down and you may not even be aware of them most of the time. We tend to only be aware of these deeper thoughts when we're under pressure (or think we are!) or have to take some kind of initiative or make a big or bold move. These are the thoughts that whisper "No you can't" or "Keep your head down". These are the thoughts that form the fabric of who we think we are.

These deep down thoughts never change. They're the same as they were when we learned them firt during our early childhood. They don't even adapt to today's situations, our mind is designed to adapt today's situations to our deep down thoughts! It's how we never see reality for what it is and how, even more importantly, how we never get to grips with who we are, who we could be and what we could possbily achieve if we stopped paying (albeit subconscious) attention to these deep down thoughts.

These deep down thoughts, when woven together, form what you call your personality - who you think you think you are. As today's video points out, these thoughts were thrust upon us at a time when our young minds couldn't filter out the stuff that, in later life, would do us damage. You can't undo your early learning but you can stop paying attention to it. When you do that, everything changes, changes utterly.

So, if there is anything you dislike about yourself or your life, stop paying attention to the thoughts that create this misapprehension of reality... and start paying attention to reality.

What could you learn in one day that might change your life? Well, for starters, you'd learn how to stop paying attention to all those early-learned repetitive thoughts - and you might just experience reality. And, once you've experienced reality, anything - truly anything - is possible. The Psychology of Succes - the up to the minute version of the one-day Workshop that I've been running for twenty years, will take place again in Dublin on May 10th... get all the details here...
