 You know, I want to say to you guys that there's that sometimes in life you have to realize there's nothing There's nothing actually wrong with you. There's something wrong with the way that you and I think there's something often wrong with our internal programming That is making us think that there's something wrong with us and I separate those two things out which requires a fair degree of self-awareness to Step away from to spectate if you like your own thinking and realize that your thinking is the problem But you and your thinking are often not the same thing because our minds do their own things our minds run away with us our minds every day hook up the carriages of our trains of thought and take us to places where we Didn't choose to go and don't want to go and don't want to stay and many of us are spending time Where our train of thought takes us for months and years of our life? We spend there at where that train takes us and we start to think that that was our choice and that place is where we Live and that place is what defines us and what we believe in and it isn't and What helped me years ago is understanding when I've been studying psychology for many years now that the split between our two minds The conscious and subconscious mind is 80 20 like an iceberg 80 percent of our thinking Is below the surface submerged out of sight below the radar as it were below? consciousness only 20% of our thought life is done Consciously, which means that the vast majority of your thinking is been handed to you from where your autopilot thinking settings reside in you and I as a human and I think what I'm encouraging you to do is to try and Practice and I think that's what we have to do practice stepping away from your autopilot settings and Try to take manual control of your thought life even a few minutes a day and See how different that makes you feel because of the different thoughts that That trigger that call up different emotions and if you can practice that for a few Minutes a day and then a few hours a day and then make it your new normal I think you'll realize that you were never the one that was stuck. You were never the problem But it was this undetected below the radar unchallenged uninterrupted internal hijackers that we all have that constantly take us to destinations We don't want to go to but we keep getting stuck there and spend large amounts of our life there and Therefore large amounts of our feelings and emotions and decision-makings Start to be built around where the hijacker took us to as it were So can I encourage you and it's hard work. This is hard work But it is so worth it can I encourage you to to be more intentional to be more aware of This subliminal sub level subterranean Thinking that is trying to tell you That you are the problem that you have a condition that you Have an issue that you are the one that stuck that you are the one that Can't progress that you are in this imprisonment Because you're not you are not stuck You are not the problem your mind your untrained free range out of control mind is The problem and I want to I want to challenge you encourage you if you don't believe what I'm saying to you Experiment with it take a few minutes a day like I said an Experiment with taking your mind out autopilot. I've been intentional and thoughtful and careful About the thoughts you let through the ones you block the ones you start to give you the tension to The ones you start to allow feelings to be attached to Start to be intentional about for a few minutes a day. Just say stop. I'm not doing that. I'm not going there I think that's autopilot. I think that's a train of thought that I didn't choose to get on board I'm not gonna do that just for a few minutes a day at first and start to enjoy and appreciate what that hands you back in terms of empowerment and options for things you can do next That the autopilot doesn't allow for those options and I think if you'll do this what the what the Bible says about We are transformed by the renewing of our minds Becomes a practical reality to us because all transformation really happens Between our ears in the renewal of the mind, but the renewal of the mind is not on Automatic happening because we are Christians or believers at all the renewal of the mind and the process of transformation of our mind is a life long Journey and a lifelong commitment. We all have to make and so the mechanics of it that I'm interested in or what I'm talking To you about here today Try and get off autopilot try and take control of your thinking and realize that you are not stuck You are not the problem Your runaway thinking is the problem and you and your thinking most of the time are not the same thing But we want them to be we want the subconscious mind and the conscious mind the 80 20 to more align And when they more align and line up Then life becomes much more comfortable much more doable much easier less hesitation less second guessing less regret Because we have trained our subconscious mind to line up with our conscious decision-making mind and Hand us the benefit of the alignment That we work very hard to achieve in our conscious conscious subconscious mind Scenario as humans we all have to battle with every day think about that work on that today
