What Does a Thought Weigh?

I
have often struggled with ideas that can communicate the power of a
single thought. Our brains have been labeled as the 3 pound universe and
in many ways this is totally appropriate. But if our brains only weigh
three pounds and we have literally millions and millions of thoughts
stored somewhere, what does a thought weigh? That seems like kind of a
non-sense inquiry-but wait a minute.

It
has been estimated that we think some 60,000 thoughts every day. In
addition to our thoughts, we handle tens of thousands of bits of
information as a result only of external stimuli. Others have
approximated the amount of negative information each of us process to be
representative of at least 90% of the stimuli we process. Indeed, I
would add that for many, the vast majority of their inner thoughts are
also negative.

Now
if you think of our 3 pound universe that way, then how much does all
of the negativity weigh? Perhaps the true weight loss program we should
all endeavor to maintain is the one that’s aimed at losing those
negative thought patterns. All of the no-don’t, you can’t, you’ll never
succeed at that, etc. and so forth. In other words, every self-limiting,
self-imposed notion that proscribes what we will try and how well we
will do at it. This is the kind of weight loss that applies to most of
us.

The role the subconscious plays in limiting one’s success, in motivating
their buying patterns, in establishing their beliefs, in fact–in
literally every aspect of one’s life cannot be understated. Indeed, the
evidence is in: the subconscious instructs the conscious what to do,
what to say, when to act and more and it does so as much as 60 seconds
before the conscious mind responds.

The mind is very much like a large container that you can fill with
anything you want, but then that input becomes it program. Years ago I
likened this to the old computer programmers GIGO meaning Garbage In
Garbage Out. Most
of us desire to change something. We want to improve our lives in some
way. Change-that seems to be the theme of the day everywhere. During
this last election cycle I found myself doing several radio interviews
regarding subliminal communication and the art of persuasion. There were
subliminal ads aimed at both political parties and there were a number
of other psychological techniques employed to gain your vote, but then
there’s nothing new about that. What did impress me was the number of
people on both sides who were just totally fired up about the election.

There was a new level of energy, a higher sense of enthusiasm and as a
result, some deeper divides. Passion-that is the word I would use to
describe this last presidential election; passion on both sides of the
aisle.

Pundits
for both sides had plenty to say but ultimately everything came down to
one word– “change.” The dynamics of the election were such that change
was virtually assured in some way regardless of who emerged victorious.
Change is what the world wanted as well, and change is what the world
celebrated when President Obama was chosen by Americans.

Our time now is a time of change and change is what we want and change
is what most people resist when it gets right down to it. Change is
actually attenuated by fear-fear of the unknown.

My
staff has asked me over the years about our products and our
philosophy. Whenever I am asked this question I think of Bill Gates and
his book, “Business at the Speed of Light.” Gates explains in this book
how the railroad companies used to think of themselves as in the
business of trains. Had they recognized that their business was
transportation, there would have been a different future in front of
them then that of trains alone.

Whether
it’s about business or a matter of a more personal nature, change
begins in the mind. Real change is not possible until there is agreement
between the subconscious and the conscious mind. Claiming your right to
succeed consciously may well be later undermined by
unconscious/subconscious beliefs, motives and mechanisms.

Think for a moment, what would you like to change? If you could change
anything about yourself, what would it be? What would you change that is
changeable? Would you like more energy and enjoy feeling and looking
much younger? Would you like a greater sense of inner peace? Would you
benefit from a better memory or an enhanced learning ability? Would you
like to improve or attract a relationship in your life? Would you like
to find the perfect employment? Would you like to change your body image
or end some addiction? Or how about becoming fitter and/or more
athletic? Again, what would you change?

My
research over the past 30 years has repeatedly verified a simple
hypothesis. In order to truly change-you must change your mind.http://evolutionezin...m/eldon-taylor/
