Does Your Mind Need a Super Nanny
If you cannot focus on one thing at a time, then you need a super nanny for your mind. Don't know who Super Nanny is?
Well, Super Nanny is a parenting show that runs on ABC and features a British woman by the name of Jo Frost. Jo is an expert in turning wayward out of control children into disciplined and loving beings.
The show usually starts with a married couple or a single mother with a two or more out of control kids who do whatever they want, whenever they want and don't follow any rules or orders from their parents. So, after having tried everything they know to get their children into line, the desperate parents finally turn to Super Nanny for help.
Super Nanny would come over and first just watch the parents interact with their children. Then she will come up with a plan of action that she expects the parents to implement.
At the end of the intervention, the parents would be turned into effective parents with new skills and the children would listen to their parents and order would be restored in this former chaotic household.
So, you're probably wondering... what does my mind have to do with Super nanny and unruly children?
Plenty, actually... you see, just as children become unruly if they are not subjected to a structure with consistent boundaries, so too your mind does whatever it wants if it doesn't have boundaries that are consistent.
That is why you will find that you have difficulty concentrating on one thing for a period of time, because your mind is not used to it.
If your mind has been used to thinking about failure or lack, you cannot suddenly start thinking success, just as you cannot suddenly make an unruly child listen to you.
You have to recognize that you're dealing with a habit... and the only way to break an undesirable habit is to introduce another habit, which is more desirable.
A habit is a set of unconscious behaviors that we engage in. When we do something consistently for more than 21 days it will become a habit (automatic behavior).
So what Super Nanny does is... she teaches the parents new strategies (which will become habits). As they introduce these new strategies in the home, it consistently required different behaviors from the children. The result: the children formed new habits.
The children were the way they were, because of the way the parents were. In other words, the bad habits of the parents instilled bad habits in the children.
When Super Nanny arrived, she changed the bad habits of the parents into good habits, which resulted in the children developing new habits.
Finally, order and peace is restored.
The same thing is going on with your mind. Trying to apply the law of attraction with old habits will not work. You are defeated, before you even begin. Your mind will constantly go back to what it knows, which are the thoughts and beliefs aligned to failure. If you want to attract success, you need to create new habits and new ways of thinking that are aligned to success and will support your expansion.
Luke 5:37-38 "And no one pours new wine into old wineskins. If he does, the new wine will burst the skins, the wine will run out and the wineskins will be ruined. No, new wine must be poured into new wineskins".
