The quickest way to change fundamental thinking or provoke new ideas is by reversing the process of action, language, and thought.
First, take actions aligned with the new mindset you want to adopt. Then, articulate the language associated with the new mindset you desire. By doing this consistently, you'll train your mind to think in new ways.
But isn't training the mind just another form of control? Isn't it brainwashing?
Consider this: Where do you think your current thoughts come from?
Do you not realize that your current beliefs are shaped by the world around you? Isn't it far better for your mind to be under your control rather than manipulated by external influences?
Isn't it more beneficial to contemplate thoughts of your own choosing rather than those imposed upon you? Having creative thoughts surely outweighs having reflexive ones, doesn't it?
