Last week, I posted a YouTube video about How Your Subconscious Mind is Much More Powerful than Your Conscious Mind. In that video, I explained that whatever story is impressed into your subconscious mind is much more powerful than any conscious thoughts. This can be very helpful when you don’t consciously believe something, yet you are using manifesting techniques and practices to impress new more empowering assumptions into your subconscious mind. This means that even before you believe something at conscious level, you can still manifest! This is an amazing realization for so many people.
However, this does not mean that your conscious mind does not play any role in manifesting because your conscious mind and all conscious thoughts represent where you are focused. So, if you are affirming, visualizing and scripting, but then spending the rest of the day opposing your desire through disempowering thoughts, then you are cancelling out the work. I explain all this in the video How to Trick Your Subconscious Mind into Believing the New Story.
Therefore, as you impress new empowering assumptions, your thoughts need to be controlled and/or aligned with the new story. This is what’s meant by Mental Diet. Keep your thoughts aligned with what you want. Anything that opposes your desire should be stopped and redirected before it spirals and impresses into your subconscious mind.
You want to think of your current undesired reality as a plant that you’ve watered and kept alive with matching thoughts (such as “there is never enough money”, “I can’t make ends meet”, etc.). Every time you have such thoughts, you are watering that plant further, causing it to grow. But you could always change your undesired physical reality very fast!
That new intention is like a seed that you can plant into your subconscious mind like a real seed you plant into soil.
Your manifesting practices and techniques represent the water that helps that new seed sprout and blossom. But you also want to make sure that you stop watering the existing plant, so that it does not continue to overpower the new plant. Every time you give power and attention to the current 3D, you are watering the existing plant (i.e. the undesired 3D reality). Every time you control and redirect your thoughts, so they align with your desires, you are taking attention away from the current 3D and so that plant starts to wither and decline. Within a few days of controlling your opposing thoughts, the undesired plant starts to die. Literally! This allows the new plant to blossom and become more dominant than the existing plant.
This analogy literally describes how a new story becomes dominant within your subconscious mind. So, while your subconscious mind is much more powerful, it still needs the help of your conscious mind, which is what plants the seeds and waters them.
Choose to water the plant (and reality) that represents your desired reality. You do this by (a) controlling all thoughts that oppose your desire and (b) focusing your attention in the direction of what you want (though affirmations, scripting, visualizations, etc).
