The Ancient Art Of Self Leadership (39)
“Let me ask you, John. What do you do before you go to sleep every night?”
“I watch the news with Jenny, the same as most people I know.” “I kind of thought so,” replied Julian, with a mysterious twinkle in his eyes.
“I don’t get it. What could possibly be wrong with getting a
little shot of the news before I go to sleep?”
“The ten-minute period before you sleep and the ten-minute period after you wake up are profoundly influential on your subconscious mind. Only the most inspiring and serene thoughts should be programmed into your mind at those times.”
“You make the mind sound like a computer.”
“That’s a pretty fair way to look at it — what you put in is what you get out. Even more important is the fact that you alone are the programmer. By determining the thoughts that go in, you also are determining precisely what will come out. So, before you go to sleep, don’t watch the news or argue with anyone or even go over the day’s events in your mind’s eye. Relax. Drink a cup of herbal tea, if you like. Listen to some soft classical music and prepare yourself to drift off into a rich, renewing slumber.”
