In my book and various presentations, I've made a particular comment—one that my husband occasionally reminds me might be misleading in the way I’ve phrased it.

So, for the record, I want to clarify it here.

Fact: Your results will always be influenced by the thoughts and ideas stored in your subconscious mind. So, if you want different results, you must take control of what’s in your subconscious.

How?

In the past, I’ve said that an idea is planted in the subconscious mind through emotion—that emotion is the pathway from the conscious to the subconscious. However, that’s not entirely accurate. My intent was to emphasize that if you don’t like the results you’re getting, you can shift the predominant ideas in your subconscious by consciously choosing your thoughts and infusing them with emotion.

But here’s the clarification my husband wants me to make:

Thoughts and ideas are constantly reaching your subconscious mind—whether or not you attach emotion to them.

If you don’t consciously reject certain thoughts, they can slip right in. So, while emotion isn’t necessarily the entryway, it does act as nourishment. The thoughts we feed with the most emotion will take root, grow, and have the greatest impact on our reality.

But what if you struggle to generate emotion for the prosperous thoughts you’re trying to cultivate?

That’s where repetition comes in.

Create a gratitude statement that describes your desired reality as if it’s already happening (written in the present tense), and read it out loud every day. Repetition reinforces the thought just as effectively as emotion can.

Over time, prosperity will start to feel believable to you. And once you truly believe it, the emotion will flow naturally!
