PULLING THE WEEDS AND PLANTING THE SEEDS
Reprogramming would be easier if I could quickly download positive programs into my mind. I would be instantly transformed by the renewing of my mind. Unfortunately, it doesn’t work that way.
Reprogramming is more like pulling the weeds and planting the seeds. I must pull the weeds of my old life and plant the seeds of my new life thought by thought.
I enter the garden of my mind with paper and pencil. I write down the old limiting beliefs that I want to uproot and the new positive beliefs that I want to plant. The paper and pencil help me pull the weeds and plant the seeds.
When I write new beliefs on paper, I increase the odds of success. The palest ink is stronger than the most powerful memory. If I don’t write them down, my new beliefs will fly away, and I will forget they ever existed.
Thoughts are hard to capture and keep in my mind.
My best ideas flash by at the speed of light; they are there for only an instant before they are gone. But if I write an idea on paper, it’s mine forever.
A paper and pencil keeps me honest and focused on my task. There is no better way to pull the weeds and plant the seeds in my mind.
