But do you ever stop to think about what you're thinking?
Are you aware of all the jumbled thoughts that pass through your mind on a moment to moment basis?
The mind is such a complex piece of kit. Actually, it's much more than that. Its potential is more far-reaching than any computer - we just haven't fully mastered how to use it. In fact, a lot of mind-power goes to waste.
Even though we haven't fully mastered the workings of the mind, there is a lot we can do with the thoughts that we process every single moment.
For a start, we can practise mindfulness.
Fundamentally, mindfulness is being aware of what you think ... of all those random and not so random thoughts that go through your head. Mindfulness is listening to those thoughts and then choosing to respond in a way that is positive, nurturing and beneficial.
You see, the mind can harbor plenty of self-talk ... and some of that can be pretty negative at times. For example, if you're quite sensitive you can pick up on the moods of others and even on the mood of an entire nation.
And, if you're not mindful, negative feelings can easily escalate inside your head to the detriment of your well-being.
So, practising mindfulness is important, and is a way of maintaining a positive outlook even in the face of adversity.
He wanted to interview me for his site - and chat about how I'd worked to build two highly successful business, with one involved in some very interesting "talks" right now.
(More on that over the coming couple of months!)
Initially, I turned it down.
I'm a self-development guy. I'm about happiness, spirituality, freedom - not figures, balance sheets and taxation.
Then, when I realized that Mike wanted to focus on precisely that side... the inspiration, the self-development... behind the business, including my own life history... I cautiously agreed.
And we had a FANTASTIC interview.
So... here it is... exclusively for you...
My interview with Mike Giles, to be published as part of the "Standing on the Shoulders of Giants" series.

It's not that I don't care about what's going on in the world, but I do feel that all the negative vibes that the media pipes out can have a detrimental effect.
In fact, studies suggest that listening to the news on a regular basis can make you fearful, depressed, anxious, angry and even paranoid!
You see, when you focus your attention on stories of calamity and woe, your spirit can so easily deflate. Energetically, you start attracting more of the same negativity into your own life.
Choosing not to watch the news isn't ignorance or indifference; it's choosing to embrace the positive in the world instead.
Because ... no matter what ... good and bad co-exist.
There will always be calamities and woe in the world whether you follow the news or not. Focusing on it to the point of creating anxiety within you only adds to the negative vibes.
You have a choice; so why not choose to focus on the good stuff?
There is plenty of it out there if you dare to look!
Watching what you focus on also applies to your experiences and choice of words on a daily basis.
To give you an example of focus in practice, consider the approach of an enlightened peace campaigner.
This gentle soul believed in peace but she wouldn't attend anti-war marches. However, she would attend pro-peace marches!
So what's the difference?
Well, it's subtle but actually quite profound! The mere mention of the word 'war' (even though it's anti-war) conjures up negative connotations whereas the word 'peace' has a much more positive focus.
Both marches are campaigning for peace but can you see the difference simply by changing the words from anti-war to pro-peace?
It's subtle but a good example of 'focus' in action.
So, as you go about your day, watch your focus.
Look for the positive – even in words.
And remember the saying – As you think, so shall you be!
If not, then please allow me to recommend a powerful solution.
It's called Brain Bullet and is a program that sits on your computer and sends out mental commands to help your mind focus and perform much better than ever before!
This is a subtle but clever system designed to help you achieve optimum brainpower.
The positive prompts work in the background on your internal thought processes, sharpening your mental processes so that you think quicker and with greater clarity.
When you sleep, you may think that your mind, body, and spirit are taking a bit of a break from everyday reality.
That's quite true but even while you appear to be idling, your whole `self' is still working to heal, repair, and improve. In fact, sleep is essential for your health and well-being.
But did you know that sleep is also a good time for learning and enhancing your positive vibes?
Yes, it's true! Sleep is actually the perfect time to improve your self on all kinds of levels.
This is because the mind is more responsive when it's in a relaxed, resting state.
The subconscious mind is open to new stimulus at this time and can benefit immensely by using a fantastic technique called Sleep Programming.
Now I can vouch highly for this amazing technique.
Just by playing your chosen Sleep Programming CD before you go to sleep, your subconscious mind listens at the deepest level. Before long, you'll notice a difference in the way you think and feel!
Spring is here and you can already feel the change in the air.
This is the perfect time to clean-up all those tired, negative programs running through your mind that are stopping you from living the life you want!

Don't believe that you can change your life this way?
Well, subliminal messaging is used by people from all walks of life including many famous business and sports people. Anthony Robbins and Tiger Woods are said to be fans of this powerful life-changing technique.
When you play your chosen subliminal CDs, your mind will start to focus on the positive messages. In turn, new patterns of thinking will develop and you will feel more positive and resolute about achieving your goals!
