Applying The 7 Day Mental Diet to Transform Your Life<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We have all heard of diets and probably have been on at least one at some point. We have also heard, \u201cYou are what you eat.\u201d  We are aware that what we put into our bodies affects us physically.  But have you considered what goes into your mind?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Use
This 7 day mental diet is the beginning of your personal life transformation<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Emmet Fox wrote about The Seven Day Mental Diet back in\n1935.  You have also heard, \u201cWhat you\nthink about comes about.\u201d So why not a 7-day mental diet? Thoughts are the food\nfor our mind. Our thoughts create our reality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Everything in our lives is entirely conditioned by our\nthoughts and feelings that we have entertained in the past and by the habitual\ntone of our past thinking. Thought is a real causative force in our lives. The Law of Cause and Effect<\/a>\ncomes into play here. Thoughts are the cause and our environments are the\neffect. If we change our thoughts, then our conditions will change too. We are\ntransformed by the renewing of our minds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now the challenge here is that we are so close to our\nthoughts that it is difficult to apply the transformation. We must stand back\nand look at our thoughts objectively. This is going to take conscious control\non our part and lots of practice. This is where the 7-day mental diet comes in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This also about creating a new habit. Adopting new habits is\neasier with discipline. You can agree to set up a new habit and with\ndiscipline, it is now non-negotiable. Also, an interesting new tidbit is that\nthe latest studies indicate that it\ntakes an average of 66 to 90 days to create a new habit and that is only with a\nsupport system in place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You may be getting the drift that the 7-day mental diet is going to take longer than 7 days. Here is the drill. For seven days you must not allow yourself to dwell for a single moment on any kind of negative thought. This discipline is so strenuous as it will ask you to be totally conscious of every thought. You can start any day of the week but once you start you must go through for seven days without any negative thoughts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since we live a very negative environment (just listen to\nthe news), this diet is going to be a challenge. You are going to be facing\nnegativity every day especially if you listen or watch any media. Your job will\nbe not to entertain any of it in your mind. You might want to consider a break\nfrom media for a week to make it a little easier. You may be faced with\nnegativity at work or at home as well. Once again you may hear those ideas but\ndon\u2019t entertain them in your mind. You may also choose to avoid any negative\npeople for this 7- day mental diet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then there is the ongoing dialogue that is running through\nyour mind at any given moment. So, a negative thought is any thought of\nfailure, disappointment, or trouble, sickness or accident, any thought of\ncriticism, or jealousy, or condemnation of others. This also includes self\ncondemnation or any self-effacing thoughts. Basically, any thought that is any\nkind of limitation or pessimistic thinking is not allowed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once you entertain a negative thought for more than 7\nseconds, you must start the 7-day mental diet all over again. The first goal is\nto get through one whole day without any negative thoughts. This may take\nseveral days or even weeks to finally get through the whole day. It is going to\ntake conscious effort and discipline in order to do this. But the payoff at the\nend of this exercise is that you will experience extraordinary changes for the\nbetter and your future will be very encouraging.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you want accountability or have any questions, please reach out<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lead your day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
