Think Good to Feel Good: 20 Simulations

“There is nothing good or bad, only thinking makes it so.” ~ Hamlet

Quality of our world is directly proportionate to the images we see when we encounter the words – spoken or heard.

Here’s what we do subconsciously when we encounter the words:

  1. We hear the word.
  2. Our subconscious mind seeks the associated images that are stored along with the meaning of that word.
  3. We see the images of the meanings.
  4. We experience the meaning of the word.
  5. We feel good or bad about that particular experience.

The monster is the image. The image we see makes us feel good or bad.

If we want to feel good, we need to associate good images with the words we encounter.

So why not associate words (that contribute to creating and storing positive, feel-good kind of images associated with the meanings of those words) and create the framework to think good to feel good.
