What Role Does Your Mind Ecology Have?

This is a very important concept that does not get as much attention as it should, mainly because it is an end result of a finely tuned, and nurtured, mind and body. Make sure you fully comprehend exactly what is behind your Mind Ecology, and try to utilize its benefits. - MJ


Could your failure to acheive your own personal success be linked to self-sabotage? This is not the kind of sabotage that you would normally expect or even pay attention to. It is a part of your unconscious called the adaptive unconscious. This part of your mind is trained to predict and then avoid pain, displeasure or stress.

The adaptive unconscious does not set out to cause you to fail. It is working along a complex blueprint that has been developed since the moment you were born, and in has been proven even in the womb.

This part of your mind will not just look at the benefits of a current action. It takes into account how this thought or this action is going to play into your total psychology.

There is something that we call ecology. In the same way in nature there are ecological consequences to building a factory; you have to make sure that you don’t damage the local environment or perhaps cause air pollution. Even though the factory would create jobs and is a boon for the economy ,the factory may be bad for the ecology. In that case the factory just may not be built.

Within our mind we also have an ecological system. Believe or not, at this moment in time you are making all the best choices you can with all the information you have at hand. We are providing you with new information, new options, and alternatives using the subconscious part of your mind.

Listen to your own inner-self at this very moment in time. That part of yourself that says, Is this is "ecological" for me, is this safe for me to do? Try to put this thought pattern into effect, analyzing your thoughts and actions

As you practice using your mind ,it is important that you get a clear sense of what you want to accomplish. But equally important you need to know when you are off course, if you are not accomplishing the goals that you have set for yourself. Then that is the time for you to take a real hard look at what and where are you losing. You may have to give up before you accomplish this new goal. That will be the sign that you are disrupting your minds ecosystem.

Be ready to let go of where you are so you can get to where you want to be. In order to do what you want to do, you must be willing to do what you need to do. This is where practicing at the other subconscious level comes into play. Try to awaken the genius within, Every person has a genius; it is about letting out to play.

When you are at home in a safe place, practice your creative visualization and relaxation techniques. Place yourself in the future, and allow your mind explore all the positive outcomes and use scenario planning to discover potential limitations in your plan. By practicing with a relaxed mind you free up both your inner creativity and your inner critic, giving both equal time to explore. Once you have discovered potential pitfalls, learn to take steps to avoid or overcome them. Then focus 100% of your energy on success.
