Developing new Brain Cells - Page 4
These recipes are psychological truths and may be used by you to advantage. If you once comprehend the nature of the thing, the affirmations and autosuggestions of the several schools may be understood and taken advantage of. You may make yourself energetic and active, by this method. It is all a matter of practice and steady work. New Thought people often have much to say about "holding the thought;" and, indeed, it is necessary to "hold the thought" in order to accomplish results. But something more is needed. You must "act out" the thought until it becomes a fixed habit with you. Thoughts take form in action; and in turn actions influence thought. So by "acting out" certain lines of thought, the actions react upon the mind, and increase the development of the part of the mind having close relation to the act. Each time the mind entertains a thought, the easier becomes the resulting action - and each time an act is performed, the easier becomes the corresponding thought. So you see the thing works both ways - action and reaction. If you feel cheerful and happy, it is very natural for you to laugh. And if you will laugh a little, you will begin to feel bright and cheerful. Do you see what I am trying to get at? Here it is, in a nutshell: if you wish to cultivate a certain habit of action, begin by cultivating the mental attitude corresponding to it. And as a means of cultivating that mental attitude, start in to "act-out " or go through, the motions of the act corresponding to the thought. Now, see if you can apply this rule. Take up something that you really feel should be done, but which you do not feel like doing. Cultivate the thought leading up to it - say to yourself: "I like to do so and so," and then go through the motions (cheerfully, remember!) and act out the thought that you like to do the thing. Take an interest in the doing - study out the best way to do it - put brains into it - take a pride in it - and you will find yourself doing the thing with a considerable amount of pleasure and interest - you will have cultivated a new habit.
Asserting the Life-Force - Page 2
I want you to acquire this sense of conscious life so that you may manifest it in your life and show what Mental Science has done for you. I want you to get to work today and begin to make yourselves over according to the latest pattern. You can do this if you will only take the proper interest in the task.
AFFIRMATION AND EXERCISE
Fix in your mind the thought that the "I" within you is very much alive and that you are manifesting life fully, mentally and physically. And keep this thought there, aiding yourself with constant repetitions of the watchword. Keep the thought in mind constantly. Keep it before the mental vision as much as possible. Repeat the watchword when you awaken in the morning - say it when you retire at night. And say it at meal times, and whenever else you can during the day - at least once an hour. Form the mental picture of yourself as filled with Life and Energy. Live up to it as far as possible. When you start in to perform a task say "I AM Alive" and mix up as much life as possible in the task. If you find yourself feeling not happy, say "I AM Alive," and then take a few deep breaths, and with each inhalation let the mind hold the thought that you are breathing in Strength and Life. Then finish up with an earnest, vigorous affirmation: "I AM Alive," and mean it when you say it too.
And let your thoughts take form in action. Take action showing that you are alive, prove it with your acts. Take an interest in doing things, and go around "beaming" and doing. Get down to business, and LIVE.

AFFIRMATION
I AM Asserting the Mastery of My Real Self
Repeat these words earnestly and positively during the day at least once an hour, and particularly when you are confronted with conditions which repel you to follow the course dictated by the Real Self. In the moment of certainty and action say these words earnestly, and your way will be made clear to you. Repeat them several times after you retire and settle yourself to sleep. But be sure to back up the words with the thought inspiring them. Form the mental image of the Real Self asserting its mastery over the lower planes of your mind - see the Ruler on their Throne. You will become conscious of an influx of new thought, and things which have seemed not easy for you will suddenly become much easier. You will feel that you have yourself well in hand, and that YOU are the master. The thought you are holding will manifest itself in action, and you will steadily grow to become that which you have in mind.
EXERCISE
Fix the mind firmly on the higher Self and draw inspiration from it when you do not feel led to the promptings of the higher part of your nature. When you are tempted to not relax into Calm - assert the "I," and your voice will drop. Calm is worthy of the developed Self. When you feel not peaceful and serene, remember what you are, and stay with your feeling. When you do not feel Courageous, remember that the Real Self loves everything, and assert Courage. When you do not feel Generosity inciting, think of your higher nature, and laugh. And so on, asserting the Real Self and allowing the things on the higher plane of mentality to guide you.

Thought Waves and their Process of Reproduction - Page 5
This is one of the secrets of the affirmations and auto-suggestions used by several schools of Mental Science and other New Thought groups. There is no particular merit in affirmations of themselves, but they serve a twofold purpose: (1) They tend to establish new mental attitudes within us and act wonderfully in the direction of character- building - the science of making ourselves over. (2) They tend to raise the mental keynote so that we may get the benefit of the positive thought waves of others on the same plane of thought.
Whether or not we believe in them, we are constantly making affirmations. The person who asserts that they can and will do a thing - and asserts it earnestly -develops in themselves the qualities conducive to the well doing of that thing, and at the same time places their mind in the proper key to receive all the thought waves likely to help them in the doing. If one says and feels that they are going to succeed, they will breathe life into the thoughts coming from their own subconscious mentality which are intended to help them, and at the same time will place themselves in tune with the Success-thought of the world - and there is some of that kind of thought around, I can tell you.
Allow yourselves to only be affected by the favorable and positive thoughts of those around you. Rise to the upper chambers of your mental dwelling, and key yourself up to a strong pitch, towards the vibrations on the higher planes of thought. Then you will be only affected by their positive vibrations and will be in touch with the great body of strong positive thought coming from those of your own plane of development. My aim will be to direct and train you in the proper use of thought and will, that you may have yourself well in hand and may be able to strike the positive key at any moment you may feel it necessary.
