7 Mental Laws – Law of Substitution

The law of substitution says that your mind can only hold one thought at a time either positive or negative.

If we apply this to our thoughts and we wish to have positive experiences in our life we must keep our minds focused on positive things, events and circumstances.

In fact if you do not consciously focus on positive thoughts, negative thoughts will grow automatically i.e. worries, concerns and anxiety will grow automatically if we do not consciously fill our mind with thoughts about what we want.

Our part here is to keep in mind what we want to be or come into our lives, characteristics we want to be or have, if we don’t then because our mind will not stay still for long, negative thoughts (which require no concentration upon) will grow automatically.

The two factors important here are thought and feeling, whereby feeling is the active process of mind i.e. each thought of what we want to bring into our life must be charged or activated by an emotion.

Now negativity comes with emotion all by itself with no effort on our part, but a positive thought requires the same emotional power to come into existence.

Emotions of love, desire, excitement must accompany our positive thoughts. A thought without an emotion does not have the power to generate a reaction in our lives or a direction. Thought and feeling must be mixed.

7 Mental Laws – Law of Repetition

The law of repetition means that to develop any skill we must first learn it and then practice it over and over again until it becomes automatic.

So if we want to change i.e. from negative thoughts to positive ones, we must practice the positive thoughts over and over again.  If you want to change try dwelling on the person you want to be all of the time. Whether you are positive or negative it is simply a habit you have been doing for so long i.e. a positive person does not have to ‘think’ themselves positive, it is a habit they have been doing over and over again until it is an automatic thought process for them.

You can develop habits of optimism and looking for the good in each situation, being nice to people etc simply by following this law of repetition.

In fact your entire future is formed from the habits you practice especially the habit of your mind.
