The desire must be planned as accurately as possible so that it generates the maximum of enthusiasm. Also, have a mind of success and hope that your idea will work out.

Faith

Faith is between the desire and the action. It can be defined as a state of mind that benefits the action, that is, the fuel for you to take action.

You are the result of your thoughts. So, have positive thoughts for your subconscious, as it will nurture your faith. Also, remember that it is responsible for turning your thoughts into reality.

Make the plan and execute

According to the author Napoleon Hill, you have to rely on the help of other people for your plan. The perfect plans are reached only with diverse people, knowledge and skills.

It is complicated for you to manage the whole process of enrichment alone, after all, there are a lot of knowledge and transformation. Therefore, create a small group that works for the same goal and has complementary thoughts.

Overview: The Power of the Subconscious

"The Power of Your Subconscious Mind" has the same mindset of "Think and Grow Rich", but it is geared toward all areas of life, not just enrichment.

The goal is simple and practical. Anyone can turn what he believes into reality, you just have to believe in something without restraint and make a picture of it in your mind, removing the obstacles of the subconscious for your desire to come true.

Techniques of the Subconscious

Nothing reaches the subconscious without going through the conscious. From the dialogue with another person, new interpretations are made, and consequently, an answer through a mental image formed and related to your beliefs.

The subconscious does not know the difference between what is true and what is false. So make affirmations of everything that is positive for you, and use the following 3 techniques to develop a subconscious based on results:

  1. Imagination Technique: whenever you have a goal, imagine the situation in which it is already reached. So, think about how you would do and what are the desired results with that goal completed;
  2. Thank you technique: always thank the progress of your plans. Be truthful, and thank as if you have already achieved your goal, for this enables your energies to be renewed until you reach the destination;
  3. Sleep Technique: The sleepy state causes mind to be reduced to a minimal level, making negative thoughts tend not to be present. That way, use words of confidence and positivity in order to increase the emotional value.

Orientation of the Subconscious

The secret of orientation is that you must mentally focus on the correct answer and that you find it within.

During sleep, the subconscious works without interruption in the process of recovery and search for answers.

In order to have a peaceful sleep it is necessary to calm the body and relax. One tip is to always think of questions where your answers lead you to your goals, and let the answer appear when you wake up.

The moment you wake up, do not have negative thoughts and worries. Wake up with all the positivity with which you lay down.

If your thoughts are about obstacles and difficulties, you will probably block your own well-being. Keep in mind a happy ending to your problem, feel the thrill of victory and this will be accepted by the subconscious, turning it into reality.

Rewarding Relationships

Have good thoughts about the people you live with. Don't hold hurts, grudges and bad feelings, as what you feed is what you gain.
