S9 E17-20 (Building Success Habits) Utilize the Power of Rational Thinking with Londina Cruz & Donna Kunde

Utilize the Power of Rational Thinking
​Your automatic mechanism, also known as your subconscious, is absolutely impersonal. It operates as a machine and has no will of its own. It always tries to react appropriately to your current beliefs and perception of your environment. It always strives to give you appropriate feelings and to accomplish the goals you consciously determine. But, it only works on the data you feed it in the form of ideas, beliefs, interpretations and opinions. It is your conscious, rational mind that is the control button of your subconscious automatic machine. It was by conscious thought, perhaps irrational and unrealistic, that the subconscious machine developed negative and inappropriate reaction patterns. It is by conscious, rational thought that the automatic reaction patterns can be changed.

E17 What Rational Thought Can and Cannot Do! |IBGR | Donna Kunde & Londina Cruz 

1. “Never make crucial decisions when angry. The rage that clouds judgment fades and    only its consequences linger thereafter.”― Stewart Stafford
   
2. It is important to remember that our automatic mechanism can function as a FAILURE MECHANISM just as easily as it functions as a SUCCESS MECHANISM. The difference depends on the data you give it to process and the goals you set for it. It is a goal striving mechanism and will find a match for whatever data you give it. 
   
3. Many of us subconsciously and unknowingly set FAILURE GOALS when we hold negative attitudes and constantly picture failure in our imagination.
   
4. This is key - your automatic mechanism does not reason about or question the data you feed it. It just processes what you give it and reacts appropriately to it. It is very important to give the automatic mechanism true facts at all times without adding perceptions or interpretations.

E18 The Importance of Perspective (Decide What You Want - Not What You DON’T Want) |IBGR | Donna Kunde & Londina Cruz 

1. “To change ourselves effectively, we first had to change our perceptions.” ― Stephen R. Covey
   
2. It is the job of the conscious mind to decide what you want by selecting the goals you tell it you want to achieve. 
   
3. It is easier to determine what you don’t want than what you do what. As humans, we have a strong desire to move away from pain. This is a survival mechanism. The problem occurs when we set goals in a similar fashion. The mind does not think in negatives and says “as you wish” to whatever you tell it you want (or don’t want). Either way it is framed, you will get more of it. 
   
4. To spend time and effort concentrating on what you do NOT want is not rational. Stop it!

E19 The Power of Deep Desire |IBGR | Donna Kunde & Londina Cruz 

1. “There are two tragedies in life. One is to lose your heart's desire. The other is to gain it.”
   

― George Bernard Shaw, 

1. Adding deep feelings and desires is key to activating rational thought so it can be effective in changing beliefs and behaviors.
   
2. All current negative beliefs were formed by thought plus feelings. Generate enough emotion, or deep feeling, and your new thoughts and ideas will replace the old ones. 
   
3. Worry! Typically we imagine all that can go wrong and create an undesirable future. We just keep dwelling on what might happen and then we are surprised when it does. What if we “worried” about all that could go RIGHT and dwelled on a desirable future instead? This is the power of Deep Desire.

E20 Examine and Re-Evaluate Your Beliefs Or Stay Stuck |IBGR | Donna Kunde & Londina Cruz

1. “Anything that you believe you can do strong enough, you can.”- Bob Ross
   
2. One of the reasons that the power of rational thinking goes unrecognized is that it is seldom used!
   
3. It is important to remember that both behavior and feeling spring from BELIEF. To get to the root cause of a belief that is responsible for your feelings and behavior, ask yourself “Why?” Then ask yourself “Is this belief based on an actual fact or on an assumption or a false conclusion?”
   
4. In order to really examine beliefs, ponder the following questions:
   
   • Is there any rational reason for such a belief?
     
   • Could it be that I am mistaken in this belief?
     
   • Would I come to the same conclusion about some other person in a similar situation?
     
   • Why should I continue to act and feel as if this were true if there is no good reason to believe it??
