Auto-suggestion

In a previous post I talked about remembering to practice auto-suggestion (click here to read that post).


To me this, is the key. But you may find that before you get to the point where you are practicing your affirmations every day, you need to be convinced that its worth doing it in the first place.


This is where I urge you to follow Napoleon Hill's advice. Read out the chapter on auto-suggestion, OUT LOUD, once a day. Napoleon Hill says to keep doing it till you're convinced, but I think, just do it for 2 weeks to begin with. If you make it open-ended, it will seem like too much of a commitment, and your mind will not want to persist. If you know its only for 2 weeks, then that makes it easier to commit.


Set it up, so that you give yourself a reward for doing the 2 week reading. Make sure its a good reward too, something that will motivate you. And most important of all, be prepared to deprive yourself of the reward if you dont achieve your goal. I know lots of people, who give themselves the reward whether they achieve their goal or not. Obviously, if you get the reward either way, theres no motivation to do the task.
