Free Tips on Career Advancement

What happens when you are first presented with a new opportunity, is your first reaction to say:

“What? That’s crazy!”, or “No, can’t be done.  I’ve never done it before!” or “No way, this’ll just take me off track!”, because at first, it doesn’t seem in alignment with what you’re currently doing, or what you perceive to be what you need?

What happens when we are introduced to something new is that we look at this opportunity with our current mind and not with a mind that gets excited when something new crosses our path.

There is a saying that, “A mind once stretched can never return to its original proportion”, it becomes like a rubber-band – stretch a rubber-band and it stays more expanded than it was originally.

Nevertheless, as human beings, we have a subconscious mind, and its job is to keep us happy and in our comfort zone, until we make it quite clear to it, that we REALLY want to make changes in any particular area.

You need to prove to your subconscious mind that you are open to new material and innovation. Because, you will have tried to make many changes in the past and not stuck with these attempts.

It has been said that the subconscious minds needs a three-time convincer when you try to change or replace a habit with a new habit.  That is, that you need to reinforce this new method of behaviour, this new thinking, three times.

Personally, I’ve found that, if I’m trying to develop a new habit to replace an old one that has been ingrained into my ‘deepest me’, it takes a bit longer till my subconscious mind ‘gets it’ that I really mean it this time.

Unless you deliberately initiate a paradigm shift on the subconscious level, you’ll keep looking at opportunities with a non-stretched mind.

Are you looking at new offerings with your foveal vision or have you allowed your peripheral vision to access and invite new opportunities through your filters?

Are you asking the Cartesian logic questions introduced in Focus on Expectations?
 
Once you get used to asking these questions, it doesn’t take long for your subconscious mind to come up with answers that are congruent with your conscious mind who wants to make the changes.

Remember do something at least three times and the subconscious mind knows what’s expected of it when you revisit that process.

Once you really get your subconscious mind and your conscious mind to work together, you’ll be amazed at what surfaces from your mental archives. You will make enormous strides to, not only replacing an old habit, but opening up even more doors to possiblities you would never have thought of or previously allowed in to your consciousness.

After a while, you’ll become so used to it, you’ll actually take what’s happening for granted.

If a solution doesn’t come quickly, you’ll ask yourself, “Okay, what have I still got to learn about this situation?”, “What am I missing?”

Then, you’ll have ideas surface that will assist you.

If this is new to you, you’ll just need to trust me, and do it for a while. It really does work.

Every new skill needs an incubation period for it to become a part of you, that is, at your subconscious level.

Remember, you always attract into your life what you need at that point in time.

Your free will and strategic plan to achieve your goals determines upon what you’ll linger your focus.

After a while, with a quick skim of new material, you’ll intuitively know what is going to keep you on track and what will take you away from your desired outcomes.

Have fun with this, you’ll be amazed at the opportunities that come to you.
