Do you often find yourself stuck in negative thinking patterns<\/a>? What can you do to train your mind to think more positively?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Joseph Murphy, the author of The Power of Your Subconscious Mind<\/a><\/em>, negative, self-sabotaging thoughts can block the flow of Universal Consciousness<\/a> into your life. When this flow is blocked, you are more likely to attract negative experiences into your life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this article, we\u2019ll explore specific methods you can use to reframe your thoughts<\/a> for more positivity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Joseph Murphy: How to Reframe Your Thoughts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In his book The Power of Your Subconscious Mind<\/a><\/em>, Murphy suggests five methods you can use to reframe your thoughts and train your subconscious<\/a> mind to create positive experiences in your life:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Choose thoughts that make you feel happy.<\/li>
  2. Identify with what you want.<\/li>
  3. Create automatic behavior using conscious repetition.<\/li>
  4. Visualize what you want<\/a>.<\/li>
  5. Relax your mind to reduce interference from your conscious mind.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Method 1: Choose Thoughts That Make You Feel Happy<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Murphy believes that you need to focus on thinking only positive thoughts<\/a> if you want your subconscious mind to create positive experiences. But how can you know whether your habitual conscious thoughts are positive or not? According to Murphy, you just need to judge how you feel. If you feel happy and you have positive expectations about your life, you\u2019re thinking positive thoughts<\/a>. On the other hand, if you don\u2019t feel good about your life experiences, you\u2019re thinking negative thoughts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    (Shortform note: Research backs up Murphy\u2019s claim that your thoughts and emotions<\/a> are inextricably linked and confirms that positive thoughts make you feel happy<\/a>. However, sometimes, it\u2019s not so easy to force yourself to think happy thoughts. Fortunately, there is a way to trick your brain into believing that you\u2019re happy: smiling. Neuroscience research reveals that smiling spurs a chemical reaction in the brain that releases specific hormones including dopamine and serotonin. These hormones increase your happiness and reduce your stress levels. In short, smiling makes you feel happy<\/a>. When you feel happy, you\u2019re more inclined to think positive thoughts that continue to make you feel happy.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Method 2: Identify With What You Want<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    To develop positive expectations, Murphy suggests that you think only about what you want <\/em>to experience. Instead of worrying about how you\u2019ll achieve something, focus on the end results and imagine the gratitude you\u2019ll feel once you have it. This process will set a clear direction for your subconscious mind to move towards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    (Shortform note: Like Murphy, Wattles (The Science of Getting Rich<\/em><\/a>), argues that you shouldn\u2019t worry about how<\/em> to achieve what you want. Instead, just expect everything to work out in your favor. Wattles suggests that imagining your desired end result and practicing gratitude<\/a> in advance of receiving what you want not only sends a clear message to the universe, but it also keeps you from becoming dissatisfied with your current life experiences. This is because, when you imagine feeling grateful for something you don\u2019t yet have, you feel positive<\/em> regardless of what\u2019s actually happening in your life. The more positive you feel, the more likely you are to adopt behaviors that move you closer to what you want.)   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Murphy suggests that you use this method to improve your thinking about any area of your life:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Addictions<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

    Imagine the freedom you\u2019ll feel and all of the opportunities you\u2019ll embrace once you\u2019re free from your addiction. According to Murphy, the more you focus on the benefits of releasing your addiction, the less likely you\u2019ll be to give in to your urges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Love <\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

    Focus on your partner\u2019s best qualities and take the time to offer praise. If you\u2019re looking for a partner, Murphy suggests that you think about what type of person you want to be with, how you\u2019ll spend your time together, and how this person will make you feel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Problems <\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

    Trust that every problem comes with a solution and imagine how you\u2019ll feel once you\u2019ve figured it out. According to Murphy, Universal Consciousness has access to all of the answers\u2014your positive expectation gives you access to these answers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Relationships <\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

    Consider how you\u2019d like other people to think about you. Now think about them in this way regardless of how they behave. For example, if you\u2019d like people to treat you with more respect, then you need to think respectful thoughts about others. Murphy argues that people will intuitively pick up on your positive thoughts and, as a result, their behaviors toward you will improve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Wealth <\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

    Decide on how you\u2019ll enjoy spending the wealth you want. Murphy claims that imagining how comfortable you\u2019ll feel with more money will prime your subconscious to create wealth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Method 3: Create Automatic Behavior Using Conscious Repetition<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Recall: Murphy argues that your subconscious mind learns from repetition. When you first try to change your habitual conscious thoughts, you\u2019ll need to apply conscious effort to think positively. But, with repetition, your positive thoughts will eventually imprint upon your subconscious mind to form positive beliefs and outweigh any negative and outdated beliefs. As a result, your subconscious mind will influence you to think and behave in positive ways without conscious effort<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    For example, if you have social anxiety, improve your self-confidence by repeatedly thinking kinder thoughts about yourself. Over time, you\u2019ll replace your anxious thoughts with more compassionate thoughts. This will increase your self-confidence and allow you to enjoy socializing with others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    (Shortform note: While it\u2019s true that repetition leads to automatic behavior, opinions vary on exactly how long it takes for your subconscious mind to become accustomed to your new thoughts. Research studies reveal that it can take between 18 and 254 days, or an average of 66 days, for habits to become automatic<\/a>. The timeline depends on how consistently you practice your new habits\u2014the more often you consciously practice thinking your chosen thoughts, the quicker your subconscious mind will align with these new thoughts.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Method 4: Visualize What You Want<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    According to Murphy, when you visualize an image, you add weight to the impression your conscious thoughts form in your subconscious mind. This is because your subconscious mind can\u2019t tell the difference between imagination and reality\u2014it only knows<\/em> that you\u2019re thinking about something often enough to create a detailed picture in your mind. The more you dwell on this image, the more likely your subconscious is to accept this image as an instruction about what it should create.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    When Visualization Makes You Lose Interest in Your Goals<\/strong>

    While Murphy argues that visualization is an effective way to get Universal Consciousness to create<\/em> your life experiences, research shows that visualization may negatively impact<\/strong> your subconscious mind when you apply it to your goals. In Ego Is the Enemy<\/em><\/a>, Ryan Holiday claims that visualization can confuse your subconscious mind and create the opposite effect of what you want to achieve: When your mind believes<\/em> that you\u2019ve already achieved something, you feel that you\u2019ve made progress<\/strong> despite not having taken any measurable steps toward achieving your goal. 

    This feeling of progress feels good, but it\u2019s based on a false sense of achievement <\/strong>that may cause you to lose sight of the actions you need to take to move forward. In fact, researchers examining     the effects of visualization on goal achievement<\/a> found that participants often lost the energy required to fulfill their goal because once they convinced themselves they\u2019d already achieved the goal, they lost interest in trying to progress toward it. <\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    Method 5: Relax Your Mind to Reduce Interference From Your Conscious Mind<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Murphy believes that your subconscious mind is more effective when you\u2019re relaxed or asleep because you’re unable to use your conscious mind to think unproductive<\/em> thoughts that contradict what you want. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    When you’re awake and alert, you can\u2019t help but think about and judge everything around you. According to Murphy, this is what your conscious mind is designed<\/em> to do. Unfortunately, this creates problems for you when you\u2019re trying to retrain your subconscious mind. This is because you can\u2019t just change your habitual conscious thoughts and beliefs instantaneously<\/strong>\u2014your mind needs time to get used to your new way of thinking. During this time, your conscious mind questions and contradicts the beliefs you want to change. This conflict between what you want <\/em>to believe and what you do <\/em>believe creates confusion for your subconscious mind because it\u2019s not receiving clear instructions from your conscious mind. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    For example, you want your subconscious to believe and expect that you\u2019re confident about something. But, your conscious mind is so used to thinking of you as unconfident, that it questions your new belief and offers counterproductive thoughts and memories to rationalize why you should feel unconfident: \u201cHow can you feel confident when you failed so miserably the last time?\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
