The second area to control the trigger of the eyes is: Control WHAT we look at.
Our culture is filled with visual stimulus. Advertisers know the power of this trigger. You see a picture of not just a bottle of soda, but the bottle has water droplets on it. Look at this and tell me that you didn't feel something in the back of your throat. www.pepsi.com.
Understanding the power of the triggered eye can help you keep clear thinking. The pictures we put in front of us can either help us or hurt us. Pictures of things that we don't need become strong triggers and tell our mind that we MUST have it. We then can't get the pictures out of our mind. We think on or sub-consciously meditate on those things all day.
Another visual influencer which is heavily negative is the television. So many shows and movies portray people and present concepts that will not help you go to the next level in your life. Many shows highlight the lowest part of our society- people who are getting their cars repossessed, people who fight in courts, criminals, and people fighting in dating situations. Other sitcoms show people who are not the greatest thinkers and are not the people you really want to idolize.
Positive visual pictures can also trigger the mind.
I have a large poster board with pictures of things and events that will bring me closer to my goals. Pictures of things that trigger the reminder and strong desire to take my family places, to create charitable foundations, to learn new things. In essence, to live the life I was designed to live, not the life my culture tells me is normal.
I encourage our sales force to put up a picture of their top five prospects. Keep something visual in front of them so they work on that account each day. Is may be funny but it works.
Next blog I will tell you what you can look at that will dramatically change your life within a year.
