Let's have a little fun with our machine! You know, that little motor between your ears that drones every day.

With anything that we want to attract to ourselves or into our lives, we need to raise our vibrational level to remain open for receiving, manifesting and creating.

A vital component to keeping our vibrational energy high and to maintain our attractiveness to the things that we desire to manifest is our thoughts. The things that we say to ourselves will either raise our vibrations or have us dragging our feet, resisting effective and efficient actions toward our purpose.

Your daily actions will ever so gradually, habit by habit, begin to move in the direction of what you think about most and yes, without doubt you will cause the physical manifestation of those thoughts in your life.

If you want to know to what you are committed, just look at "what is so" in your life. What exists in your life is in direct correlation with where your thoughts have been.

What are your thoughts, the words that you say to yourself which conjure up your emotions, feelings, mental images, yet also fears or doubts?

Your mind is a thought-generating machine that can be managed and trained. We are the ones who must be personally responsible in taking on that challenge, moment by moment.

Do this by regularly and consistently asking yourself powerful questions or by making firm declarations.

Here are two that I use daily. I heard these on a wonderful audio with Michael Losier.

Whenever something terrific happens in your day, or something goes exactly the way you'd like it to go, then give yourself a little, "Wow, I love it when that happens?" This is teaches your subconscious mind to recognise what it is that you want and what you are creating, and it celebrates these events as they happen. No thing is too small or big to celebrate in its moment. Make it a habit and you will transform, so will your life.

Now, should a thought enter your mind about something that you do not want or a concern crops up about a situation you'd rather not see happen in your life then be very sure to ask yourself this question, "Well, if I don't want that, then what do I want?"and be sure to answer that question immediately, with absolute certainty. The answering of that question is the most important part of the exercise and I know that you'll have thousands of opportunities daily to throw in that one!

I have a little saying in large letters and bolded print, right next to my desk. It says, "Whatever you focus on WILL expand." Whenever I see those words I immediately become aware of my thoughts during the moments just before spotting the sign. I then ask, "Is that something of which I want more?" If my response is negative, then I flip a switch and redirect my focus.

There are so many tips and tricks you can use to train your subconscious to stay on task with what you deliberately choose to manifest. However, it does ask for our vigilance and being rigorous with those thoughts.

It does not at all help our causes to be bombarded with radio and television media, nor negative friends. Do whatever you can to eliminate those from your environmentthat is, if you're up to creating "the big stuff" in life!

"Carefully watch your thoughts, for they become your words. Manage and watch your words, for they will become your actions. Consider and judge your actions, for they have become your habits. Acknowledge and watch your habits, for they shall become your values. Understand and embrace your values, for they become your destiny." ~Mahatma Gandhi~
