Day 11: Mental Scripting

You may have heard that life is like a movie. And if that’s true (I believe it is). We are acting out a script every day.

There was a movie that starred the late John Candy, Delirious, where Candy plays a screenwriter who learns he can write his way out of problems.

In one scene, his character wrote his once-damaged car got fixed. Then Candy’s character receives a call from the mechanic that he repaired his vehicle.

The script most people are running is different from what they truly want. It’s easy to get stuck in ruts and routine, never elevating and continuously repeating the same thing over and over.

When I struggled with my focus and concentration, I realized that my mind was running a script programmed for lack of focus.

It was shocking. When I first read about these things, I didn’t believe it.

It seemed silly that I could re-program my mind for better concentration. But that was what I did, and my focus improved.

The mind has inexhaustible potential, but most people don’t know how to program their minds to give them a desired result.

The mind is programmed by what we see, hear and say. In the same way, you learn your environment; you change your programming by seeing, hearing, and saying something different.

This is why vision boards and affirmations work for some, but they could work even better when you believe your mind has to do what you tell it to do. With a clear command, your mind will do what you want it to do.
