ANTS popularly known as Automatic Negative Thoughts indirectly dictates your success or failures in life. In your daily life, whatever you do like driving for example, your thoughts go to having hit by big rig or get into a big accident. This is your mind playing with your thought process – your thoughts are like junk food to your mind. It’s the same as people craving for Mickey D’s knowing fully well that is harmful to their health when done in excess.
A great man once said Die-Mind before we can achieve Diamond status in life (Success in health, wealth and relationships). Our mind is like a double edged sword – we can make hay with it or make hell with it – it’s all in our own hands. Stillness is something great people can accomplish in their mind. Thoughts come and go helter skelter at all times to our mind and all we have to do is stop these thoughts for 12 seconds to achieve that stillness. Try it! You will be amazed how long that 12 seconds seems to us and there would be at least one thought that go thru our mind in that 12 seconds.
When ‘ANTS’ creep up all you have to do is become witness to it but not become one with it. What I mean is watch your ‘ANTS’ like a third person, acknowledge them and move on to reinforce that with a positive thought. Tell yourself that you are fabulous if the ANTS says that you look ugly. Tell yourself ‘I am Rich’ when ANTS say that you are poor and broke. Tell yourself you have a great relationship with your family when ANTS say that you suck and are lonely.
Research has proven that some of the mental diseases we have in society today are the direct result of fostering these ANTS instead of channeling them out. When we can force ANTS out and replace them with positive affirmations that will trick our mind to prepare for the success that comes our way. Our mind is wired to be faster and efficient than a super computer, then why some people who we knew are failing in all facets of their life. This is the direct result of them harnessing ANTS in all phases of their life.
6 vices of a man or a women are Lust, Anger, Greed, Attachment, Pride and Envy. I am sure ANTS play a big role in all these vices latent in us.
