- Hello there and welcome, this is Bob Proctor.
I want to talk to you for a moment
about strategies for altering paradigms.
Do you know what, a paradigm can cause us enormous problems
because it's causing our results
and if the results aren't where we want it,
we don't understand that those results
are really being motivated by paradigms,
we may never change the results
and most people go through their life
and they never do change the results.
They try and change everything under the sun
but they don't realize that if they want
to change the results, they have to change themselves.
If they're going to change themself,
what part of themself do they have to change?
They have to change their subconscious conditioning.
That's what they have to change.
That is the paradigm.
Paradigm is nothing but a group of habits
that are programmed into the subconscious mind
that control our behavior.
Now, think of this.
Your behavior causes your results.
If you want to change the results,
don't look outside of yourself.
Don't say it's the economy, it's the boss,
it's my spouse, it's none of those things.
It's something inside and it's called a paradigm.
How do you change it?
Well, first of all, you start out
with the result you want to change.
Let's say you want to get up on time,
you're always sleeping in.
That's a very simple result
a lot of people have a problem with.
How do we do that?
Well, we take a look at what causes us to sleep in.
It's an idea in our subconscious mind
that just keeps us hitting snooze,
staying in bed, not getting out of bed.
So I say, I want to change that result.
Well write out exactly the negative
result that you're getting.
I'm forever sleeping and I'm always late.
I never get up, I hit snooze when I set an alarm.
Write that up.
Then ask yourself, what is the polar opposite to that?
And write it out in the present tense as an affirmation.
I am so happy and grateful now that
when I wake up, I get up, that's it.
I am so happy and grateful now
that when I wake up, I get up
and you write that out 100 times a day.
I know your intellect logic
is going to tell you this is silly, it won't work.
Well, you try it.
Write out 100 times a day.
I'm so happy and grateful now that when I wake up, I get up.
And write down 100 times a day for about 30 days.
I'll guarantee you'll quit hitting the snooze button.
You know what you've done, you've programmed
a new idea in your mind and it takes over.
The old idea dies for a lack of nourishment,
you're not feeding it any longer.
See, the old idea was a habit.
You're in the habit of boom, hit the snooze button,
stay in bed, go back to sleep
and what you've done is you've programmed in a new habit
that's essentially the opposite to the old.
The old dies for a lack of nourishment
because you've kept feeding the new one.
And write it 100 times a day present tense.
I'm so happy and grateful now that when I wake up, I get up.
And mentally see yourself the second you wake up.
Your feet, hit the deck, you stand up,
you're out of bed, and then you stay out of bed.
You give that a whirl.
If it works for that, it'll work for everything.
You know, work in sales.
I'm so happy and grateful now
that I'm in front of a real life prospect before 9:00 a.m.,
asking them to buy.
Just the opposite to what's the other one?
I'm not in front of prospects at all.
I'm afraid to close the sale.
I'm so happy and grateful now
that I'm in front of a prospect before 9:00 a.m.
and I asked every prospect to buy to change a habit.
Change the idea that is fixed in your mind.
Through repetition of writing, you fix the idea.
Repetition is the first law of learning.
You try that some simple little thing,
but it works like unadulterated magic.
Give it a whirl.
