 How's it going everybody out there on YouTube, Facebook, Google+, Instagram, Twitter, however you found this video. Chris Peters here once again with the entrepreneur PowerHour, it's November 27th, 2016 and it's quite nice out here. I'm filming again once outside on location in my backyard on my property here. As you can see I live here, the train tracks which is pretty cool, I love living here, trains I live in a good area of my city and I came outside today to film another formula for you guys from this awesome book, The Law of Success by Napoleon Hill. Now one thing I'm going to say before I get into the video is if you buy The Law of Success by Napoleon Hill, this is something you have to read more than once, okay? I'm only through the book almost, almost through the book one time and I guarantee you there's going to be tons of stuff I missed the first time around, there's going to be a lot of information that my subconscious mind hasn't fully absorbed yet, there's going to be applications and exercises that I haven't fully applied yet because this is a course of study. When you engage yourself in a course of study, it's something you have to do many, many, many times to perfect. The Law of Success is one of those things. So buy the book and be all in or it's not going to work for you, okay? So today we're going to discuss another formula from The Law of Success. This is on lesson 11, concentration, okay? And this is what you need to do if you want to form habits in your subconscious mind and there's a number of steps that you need to take in order to build those habits effectively and remember that when you're starting out building a new habit, it's not easy, okay? Because the old habits that you currently have right now are going to want to be taking over and fighting for control as you establish new productive habits, right? So don't give up, the journey's not easy, okay? Everything requires persistence and constant effort, alright? So first, anyway, before we get into the formula, I would like you guys to make sure you grab yourselves a pen so you can write this down. The following are the rules of procedure through which you may form the habits you desire, okay? So first, at the beginning of the formation of a new habit, put force and enthusiasm into your expression. Feel what you think. Remember that you are taking the first steps toward making this new mental path that is much harder at first than it will be afterwards. Make the path clear and as deep as you can at the beginning so that you can readily see it in the next time you wish to follow the page here. Second, keep your attention firmly concentrated on the new path building and keep your mind away from the old paths, lest you incline toward them. Forget all about the old paths and concern yourself only with the new ones that you are building to order. Third, travel over your newly made paths as often as possible. Make opportunities for doing so without having to wait for them to arise through luck or chance. The oftener you go over the new paths, the sooner will they become well-worn and easily traveled. Create plans for passing over these new habit paths at the very start. Fourth, resist the temptation to travel over the older, easier paths that you have been using in the past. Every time you resist temptation, the stronger do you become and the easier will be for you to do so the next time. But every time you yield to the temptation, the easier does it become to yield again and the more difficult it becomes to resist the next time. You will have a fight on at the very start and this is the critical time. Prove your determination, persistency and willpower now at the very beginning. Fifth, be sure that you have mapped out the right path as your definite chief aim and then go ahead without fear and without allowing yourself to doubt. Place your hand upon the plow and look not backward. Select your goal and make a good deep, wide, mental path leading straight to it. As you have already observed, there is a close relationship between habit and autosuggestion, which is self-suggestion. Through habit, an act repeatedly performed in the same manner has a tendency to become permanent and eventually we come to perform the act automatically or unconsciously. It's like playing a piano. For example, the artist can play a familiar piece while his or her conscious mind is on some other subject. Autosuggestion is the tool with which we dig a new mental path and form new habits. Concentration is the hand that holds that tool and habit is the map or blueprint which the mental path follows. An idea or desire to be transformed into terms of action or physical reality must be held in the conscious mind faithfully and persistently until habit begins to give it a permanent form. So there you guys have it. That is the formula for creating new productive and positive habits in your subconscious mind. Now I'm going to tell you guys a bit of a story about a time when I had severe anxiety disorders. I used to have really bad anxiety. I had insomnia. I was very depressed and I was at a time in my life where I just I didn't know who I was and I didn't know what I wanted to be and I used to think the worst all the time and eventually came to the point where my mind was saturated with fearful expectations and I was having anxiety day and night. I was not sleeping properly. I wasn't eating healthy and I came across the Linden method by Charles Linden which I will put in this video so if there's anybody out here suffering from anxiety or panic disorders this is the cure to your condition. So what did the Linden method teach me about anxiety? Well I learned that anxiety disorder is not actually a mental illness. It is a habit of behavior. Now what does that mean? What that means is that anxiety is formed through behaving anxiously over and over and over again. Worrying constantly about things that haven't happened yet. Expecting the worst. Planning for the worst. Always thinking that you're going to fail. Always thinking that something bad is going to happen even though there's no evidence to support that. Eventually those neural pathways of fear become so fixated in your subconscious mind that your amygdala gets triggered to stay on constantly and what your amygdala is it's the thermostat deep in your limbic system of your subconscious mind that controls anxiety levels. Now normally if there's a real threat you see a lion or a car's coming towards you and you turn out of the way. Your body sends off the fight or flight response releasing adrenaline into your bloodstream and your muscles to prepare you to run or face the threat. But you see in anxiety disorders when the amygdala is stuck on constantly your brain is constantly sending out threat signals and assessing risk. That is how anxiety disorders are formed and that's how they perpetuate themselves. Therefore the more you fear the condition the more you behave anxiously the more you think something's actually wrong with you the more you're going to perpetuate that cycle. How did I get rid of my anxiety? How I got rid of my anxiety disorder was quite simple. I focused my mind on things that were productive that were positive and that were and that forced me to face whatever fears I had. What that does when you face those fears and you don't fear the anxiety itself and you divert your mind onto productive things that force your mind to learn it's what happens is the amygdala starts to reverse the process of which created the anxiety disorder in the first place. What I mean by that is when you do things of a non-anxious nature and you force your mind to learn something new that is non-anxious productive and positive it creates the same changes in your amygdala that brought the anxiety on in the first place all you're doing is reverse engineering the process. Now I'm going to explain something to you about diverting the subconscious the conscious mind. What I mean by that is you can't just sit in front of the tv or go out with your friends or play your xbox okay diversion means literally forcing the conscious mind to learn something new which then in turns forces the subconscious mind to stop focusing on the anxiety okay so order the linden method I'll put a link for it in this description I hope this video has inspired you to take action to take control of your life do personal development and go after your dreams okay because that's what I'm doing with the entrepreneur power out my life has changed 150 because I now have found what I want to do so we love you guys please like comment and subscribe to the entrepreneur power out and please join us this Tuesday November the 29th 2016 we're going to be discussing five ways you can give powerful thanks to your organization team friends family and your loved ones okay so be real take action and never give up on your dreams you can achieve anything you have a human mind it's the greatest gift you've been given use it wisely thank you for watching bye bye
