YOU are what you Think.

I got a comment from my previous blog saying: "stop dreaming and start designing"... rather than getting annoyed, I did felt the truthfulness in that short message...even if the latter part was a spam promoting some-sort-of software or another site, none-the-less, unless you start acting "now" expect nothing to manifest... this is truth that I cannot deny.

The act of thinking or focussed-thoughts on a particular thing you wish to achieve or recieve, begins in the brain-level (YUP inside your head... your BRAIN... you have one no matter what they say...), and if you continuously project in your mind this image of what you need or desire, then unknowingly, or conciously or unconciously, your body with all its faculties begins to align itself with that vision.

As an example, if you have focused-thoughts on being financially secured, be more specific and create this mental image of you having a big house, fancy cars, fine-tailored outfits, the amount of cash you wish to hold on your hands... but most specially... do not forget to picture yourself an image of wellness...good health, vitality and vigor... for all these material abundance will be of no use if you are ill in bed or waiting for your demise.

Be specific, be complete, do not leave the fine details, if all these mental images seem to be too tough then break it down into steps... specific items... specific details.

The easiest perhaps for you to begin with is your health. You may not be able to afford an exclusive membership to a health club (for now), nor have time to go to the gym, but if every morning when you wake up (after morning prayers)... look in front of the mirror... picture yourself a healthy being, do not focus on your flabs or double-chin, or beer-belly, instead see them gone and replace them with healthy body toned-up muscles and abdomen and begin saying to yourself in-front of your mirror these words: "I am a picture of excellent health!.. and today I will enjoy the abundance the new day brings..!"

I dare ask you to try these no matter how stupid you may feel, for I have done it myself and I testify that 100% it works!!!... do it everyday...and focus-thoughts on the image and keep that image with you all day, as you work, as you play, before you retire to bed do it again and remember to keep that feeling of gratitude as you pronounce the words, see the image and wake up the following morning.

As early as 1 month, if you do it diligently, you will experience what i have felt. For sooner than I thought when I programmed my day this way, that I find myself wanting to walk farther rather hailing another taxi cab, I find myself to be craving for more liquids (healthy juice or water) rather than a can of soda, and suddenly get a liking to the taste of vegetables and fish rather than meat... yes, my body responded, what I have deprived of it all these years, suddenly it speaks up and tells me what to eat, what to drink, saying no to junk or fastfood as they did not appeal to me that much as before... I need not go to the gym as climbing the stairs of our office building up to the 14th floor was now a better option for me everyday than wait around and ride a crowded elevator.

Embarassingly, I do arrive sweaty, but not tired, I just make sure I bring an extra shirt, socks, etc.. and leave it on my locker everyday... (and plenty of cologne)... i was sweating like a horse but I never felt lighter, it felt like when I was still a kid... always ready for action... no stress... this is my body acting upon the focused-image I have, an image or simple instruction to command every cell in my body to conform to this image... and they did. Do not expect to be like Mr. Universe... I believe a flat belly and fitting perfectly to your desired size is more realistic at the moment. As soon as you perfect this exercise and see the dramatic change in your body... my most powerful evidence and affirmation are the comments that I get from colleagues or clients saying : "what did you do? you look thinner now?".... this I begin to like and want to hear everyday...so I dont stop that mental image...until now.... and until now... my body is still conforming to that image even as I write.

You are what you think. So simple, yet so remarkably true, we heard about it before, from our parents, friends, teachers... probably read it even from books, magazines...etc... but how easily do we forget?

So the challenge is, NOT TO FORGET!, to be consistent, dont do it as a chore, do it (focussed-thought) as automatic as you would move your hand away from an open flame, or brush your teeth, or take a bath... the keys of achieving this habitual focus are as follows:

1. Always be at a gratitude state (remember what it felt when you received something from someone that you really...really liked..?.. dwell on that feeling of gratitude as you work through this exercise everyday.)

2. Be specific. Dwell on details as much as you can, this will ensure that what will manifest is exactly what you want.

Lastly, ACT NOW!.... Do it now... tomorrow when you wake up!... not next week, not after christmas.... but NOW!... What have you got to loose? I am not going to charge you for using my method , or for being successful... just a little favor tho, do write your experience or result as comment and I will be more than happy to publish it online, AND, do share this knowledge with a loved one, a friend, family ...etc.. anyone whom you feel will also be blessed by these techniques.
