Be aware what is there
In order to begin removing information from your mind you must first know what is floating around in your mind. I can guarantee there is stuff in your mind you will want to get rid of, but first you must be aware of what is in there. This will require you taking the time to do some internal reflection and listening to your mind. This may very well be a new experience to many of you, but if you take the time and do this it will make a very big difference in your life.
This is going to be a challenge but it will help you to be successful. Take time every day, and I mean every day, to sit quietly for one minute every hour and note what your thoughts are. Set a simple little alarm on your watch, your phone or your computer to go off every hour. As soon as you hear that alarm grab a notebook and write down the thoughts that are occurring in your mind. Do not judge them right now, just write them down. Do this for 2 to 3 weeks and use the same notebook so you have one long list of thoughts that exists in your mind.
Focus on the thoughts that serve you
Once you have a clear list of the thoughts that are occurring in your mind you can begin to decide which ones you like and which ones you do not like. Think about which thoughts in your list are serving you well, helping you to move towards your goals and your dreams. Put these into a new list and read these every day. The more you introduce these positive and supportive thoughts into you mind the more prevalent they will be and the more often you will default to these positive and supportive concepts. You want your mind filled with positive and supportive ideas and you can do this by reading this list of your own thoughts regularly.
Rewrite your thoughts
Now take the original list of thoughts that you had and look at how you can reword these thoughts so that become a supportive thought instead of negative and detrimental. You do not want to just throw these thoughts away, because they still exist within you and you need to acknowledge and honor that fact. Our minds don't have an eraser. It does have an edit function though which can prove to be very beneficial.
Look at this list of negative thoughts and take each one and rewrite it. Take your time in doing this to ensure that you are converting whatever the negative message is into something that is positive and supportive and helpful for your grow and advancement. The thought exists because it is in some way connected to you and where you are going. Honor this by wanting to keep the connection, just converting it into something positive. This is the most important part of opening your mind to new information.
Fill in the space
After you have reinforced all of the positive and supportive thoughts, and rewrite the negative to become supportive and positive, you will find that there is no w lot of overlap between the two. This means there is now extra space in your mind to fill it with new thoughts. Make sure you are very intentional and careful about which thoughts you are now bringing into your life. Remember that you are filling in precious space so you must decide to always ensure all new information is only supportive and positive. Look carefully at where you want to get to and make sure that the new thoughts work towards your getting there.
