WHY THE ACHIEVERS
UNDERSTAND THE LAW OF SUBSTITUTION SO WELL?As the process of change begins, the individual journey to
success is unique with a set of schemas, personal issues,
and perception of life. Perceived fairness, or unfairness,
good and bad memories, guilt, adaptive or non-adaptive
patterns do indeed all play into the factors that can either
increase or decrease the chances for achieving, but looking
at common behaviors that all fall into and from there is a
guideline that can provide a basis for expectant behavior if
under-achievers are to achieve or facilitate the achieving
process in themselves. An observation from the research done
shows what happened to under-achievers as well as achievers
in their mind when engaging in thoughts.
Achievers and under-achievers experienced 50,000 to 60,000
thoughts in your mind just within minutes. Most of the
thoughts are repetitive and that many of them are very
negative. Achievers made a deliberate effort to be keenly
aware of them when they are engaging in the self-destructive
negative self talk. They have vigilantly mastered the art of
turning off this negative internal dialogue and actively
choose a different voice. They understand the “Law of
Substitution” so well to fully utilize it to create and
build a strong mental mind.
The law of substitution is actually a very simple law that
states that your mind is able to keep only one thought in a
time. The moment one thought comes to mind the other leaves.
There are two types of thought givers: subconscious and
conscious. Subconscious mainly gives you the flow of
thoughts to keep you safe and worm in our comfort zone. It
says things like: “Don’t go there, it’s frightening.” “Don’t
do that. You are going to be embarrassed” “Don’t start that
project, you are going to fail.” Subconscious also
mistakenly describes your appearance and abilities like “You
are not strong enough, wise enough, educated enough,
beautiful enough, worthy enough and good enough. You can’t,
you can’t, you can’t.” the result of such thoughts, of
course, anxiety, disappointment, frustration and lack of
self-esteem.
Achievers have learned to deal with their subconscious. They
know they have their conscious mind to help them. They have
decided to choose the thoughts to think with it, and that if
they think with the conscious mind – the subconscious mind
stays quiet and listens. That means that every time they do
not like the thought in their mind they can substitute it
with another one their conscious decides to think.
Under-achievers have to understand how to use this law of
substitution. Every time their low self-esteem tells them
bad things about them or talk them out of the thing they
desire, they consciously choose to think the antagonist
thought. For example they are told they can’t do it;
substitute this with the thought that they can. It is better
to say: “I can do, I will do it and I’m just going to do
it”.
Whenever they stop actively substituting this negative inner
dialog with positive self-talk, it will quickly and silently
creep back into their daily existence. If they “fall
asleep,” or lose their way, they must take the opportunity
to listen to their negative internal self-talk. It is then
that they can feel that the thoughts in their mind affect
their body with a negative emotional charge that does not
bring them to their highest good. When their internal
self-talk is they can’t; they must first become aware and
then actively turn these negative thoughts into thoughts of
they can.
Using the substitution of the negative thought about
themselves, under-achievers can learn to take control over
their self-destructing thinking; they can then increase
their self-esteem. However, it is not so easy when they
begin using this law of substitution, but like everything in
life, when is done systematically becomes a habit. This law
can also become their habit, if they want it to. So they
must start using this unique mind ability and substitute
their low self-esteem to the new high self-esteem they have
chosen to achieve.
Just remember, high self-esteem equals good relationship,
achievements in business, strong health and finances. The
development of your self-esteem opens the door to your
special wonderland you always dreamed of. By consciously
substituting all negative thoughts with positive ones
immediately upon experiencing the negative thought. You can
only experience one thought at any given time, therefore by
substituting a positive for a negative, only positive ones
will reach the subconscious that will lead to positive
outcomes for you!
