The top half of the mind is known as our conscious mind and the bottom half is called the subconscious mind.

Think of the conscious mind as yourself being the farmer. What does a farmer do? They plant seeds of their crops to harvest! You are doing the same everyday! As a farmer, you can decide what seeds you’d like to plant. If you desire to plant and grow cucumbers, you will grow exactly that. What if you want to grow tomatoes? You will grow exactly that! Now, if I wanted to plant strawberries, would I harvest radishes? No! What if I planted watermelon, would I get cucumbers? Absolutely not. With proper nurturing of the seeds you plant, they will harvest.

The subconscious mind is the soil, where you plant the seeds. You see, the subconscious can’t choose what it wants to put in its soil unlike the conscious mind, the farmer. The subconscious mind is where you get emotionally involved with the seeds desired from the conscious mind.

So, if you are the farmer and plant the seeds of positivity within your mind, what do you think you’ll get? YES! Positive thoughts and positive feelings. What’s very special about this is now that you feel positive, you end up taking more positive actions which create positive results! This explains the common quote, “You become what you think about.”

We become exactly what we think about. If you think of yourself as being annoying and create mental images of yourself as being annoying, you start to feel more annoying. When you feel annoyed, you create an annoying vibration within your body which causes you to take annoying actions. Finally, you get annoying results.

Let’s say you have negative self-talk. Maybe you call yourself a moron a lot or maybe you tell yourself you’re not worth it to be this or have this. You first begin thinking of images that describe your negative self talk which translates into feeling more negative. You use it as ammo to make examples of how you are these negative lies others and/or yourself have suggested. You start to poison yourself from the inside, out! When you feel negative, you spread it to others like a disease and take negative actions - you possibly take no action at all when in a negative state which is still some sort of action! And last but not least, you get negative results!

Do you really see how simple it is to understand how we function, beginning with our minds? Everything starts from the mind - our habits, paradigms, and results. We are who we are today because of who we thought ourselves to be!

There’s a reason why it is so hard for the average person to break a habit. They plant the new seeds of going on a nutritional diet and go to the gym for a month. For some reason, they are back to being overweight and eating crap food again. Why? Because their old seeds formed such MAGNIFICENT and STRONG roots, it becomes hard to replace with a new seed, a new habit.

This one time, I was digging up a tree root with my dad in the backyard to build an in-ground fire pit. I got the pick ax and the root was HUGE and thick as a log! If the roots are strong, you must get stronger tools and that is with constant repetition of the new thought or idea fused with emotion! Don’t go back in the same hamster wheel of getting undesirable results, starting something new then reverting back to your old ways. You can change it and the ONLY way to do it is by thinking new thoughts and images of what you do want. Then repeatedly imagine that image like a movie and feel the emotions within it. This is what truly impresses your subconscious mind and uproots the weeds with new seeds of growth!

The bottom line is this. You are the sum total of your thoughts. Your conscious mind is a farmer that decides what they want to plant - thoughts of positivity or thoughts of negativity. The subconscious mind doesn't care what you plant, it will grow just that, what you plant. The body is a physical manifestation, the instrument of the mind. So what you think and feel, you act and become! Your results form from the very beginning of the seeds you desired to plant.

I hope you enjoyed this blog and that it made sense to you. I really just want to help and care for as many people as I can in this world. Please use this model of our minds as a way to explain how positivity can truly benefit you and your life. It’s not just cliche but it is real and practical!

So I want you to start NOW to think of new thoughts and images of positivity and you will begin to unfold the magic that happens for you. Have the best day of your life! - Coach Nick
