         EXERCISE | 60,000 Thoughts A Day

         1.    Identify an aspect of your life you want to change. It may be a habit, behaviour, a
               thought, procrastination, attitude whatever it may be.

         2.    Now you have to establish a communication with that part of you which needs a change. It
               is very simple. Put yourself in a relaxed state what we call it the Alpha State. Relax every
               portion of your body, your muscles and focus on the breath. If any other thoughts interrupt
               just ignore them. Don't worry. Thoughts are always there. An average person has 60000
               thoughts a day. Most of them are the same thought you had yesterday. The time you were
               born till the time you die you can't do anything about your thoughts. But you can alter your
               thoughts any time.
         3.    Very carefully listen to your self talk. Ask why that particular behaviour is given much
               importance. What is the ultimate goal to have the behaviour. Find out what benefits you
               have achieved having that behaviour. Now see what happened from the time you started
               till now and see the positive and negative. Now visualize in your screen of your mind what
               was it like before the particular behaviour started. Where you happy, relaxed, calm and
               serene? If so see how your situation has changed. If you are nervous, anxious, frightened
               and depressed start to compare your past happiness with the present pain and suffering.

         4.    Now create an alternative behaviour to change your present situation. It can be anything.
               You can change your negative thoughts to positive one. Instead of hatred and anger you
               can create in your imagination love and happiness. The choice is yours. Use your creative
               imagination.

         5.    Now the part of you that was responsible for the old behaviour is responsible for generating
               the new behaviour. It is like anchoring love and serenity to your past hatred and restless-
               ness. Once again use your creative imagination.

         Spend 15 minutes in the morning and 15 minutes at night for 28 days to change a particular
         behaviour.

         Listen to your self-talk and make changes which will enhance your life.
