Magnetize Yourself With the Things You Want

Auto Suggestion might be the thing you need to change your life permanently for the best. Auto Suggestion, also known as self suggestion, is quite a phenomenal and powerful process. They’re words, thoughts, and beliefs that we suggest to ourselves and automatically get fixed into our subconscious minds. They come to you easily as an automatic response to certain stimuli. Basically, they determine whether or not you will succeed in reaching your goals.

Before we get further into auto-suggestion, here are some things to know about the subconscious mind as it plays a vital role in the process of auto suggestion. It’s also known as the emotional mind. It gets its information through your 5 senses (See, Smell, hear, taste, touch). Your conscious mind does to, but remember, the subconscious is the emotional mind. It doesn’t have the ability to reject something, it can only accept. It doesn’t know the past or the future, it only knows the present. It responds to repetition.

Overall, what you say to yourself most, think about most, believe in most, and what you apply most will show up in your life. When you feel the emotions of these things, they get fixed into the subconscious mind. Napoleon Hill says so in his book “Think and Grow Rich” on his chapter on Auto Suggestion. He says “No thought, whether it be negative or positive, can enter the subconscious mind without the aid of the principle of auto-suggestion.”

When using auto-suggestion, it’s important to have the Law of Gender in mind as well. The Law of Gender states that everything has an incubation period. In other words, everything takes time to grow. A baby has 9 months until it is born. Plants take about 90 days to fully grow. It’s the same thing when you plant an idea or a desire in your mind. It’s not going to just show up over night and it’s not going to grow when you don’t nurture it. The mother needs to eat food for the baby to grow. Plants need water and sunlight to grow and blossom. Your thoughts and ideas need to be entertained.

For instance, let’s say you want $50,000.00 this year. You write out the date when you will have the money, and then you entertain the thought that it’s already in your possession. Through the repetition of that thought, you will attract ideas on how to get the money. The ideas must be nurtured as well through taking action. This way, these habits become fixed into your subconscious, and they become a habit, making it more likely that the outcome will be that you will have $50,000.00 by the date that was written down. When using auto suggestion, persistence is the price that you must pay.

Auto suggestion can be used in all areas of your life. It can be used with your financial situations, relationships, health, and your beliefs in life. So what’re you waiting? Start applying this to your life now and be on your way to abundance and prosperity!
