Thinking 'I Want' Will Improve Yourself And Others
The "I must" line of thinking almost forces our body to comply with our thoughts.
Instead, "I want" can be used to change our habits and compulsions. This approach gets head, heart and body to agree on a course of action. The power arising from these three forces coming together makes it a whole lot easier to change our behavioral patterns.
Saying to yourself "I mustn't be late" won't work. It is harsh and negative. And when we are forced to do something, we rebel and invariably end up doing the very thing we say we mustn't do.
Not much better is "I must be early". Our actions and free will are still enroached upon and so again it's unlikely to be effective.
The reason being that our thought processes work something like this... I mustn't be late because I may get told off, or I will have to pay a fine, or they may have black mark against my name or they may not allow me to enter the room.
A better line of approach would be "I want to be punctual". Not only is it more gentle, it is also something positive to aim for.
The line of reasoning goes like this: I want to be on time because other people and their time are things that I have respect for. If everyone were early, we can start on time and end on time, we can go on to do other things, be more productive, and we can go home to be with our families.
They key is to focus on the positives of doing something rather than trying to avoid the negatives of not doing it.
By acting and speaking in such a way, those around us appreciate us and find themselves mimicking our behavior. Therefore, whether we realise it or not, our actions and attitudes can trigger a positive spiral or a negative spiral.
Ultimately, by being more self aware, you are able to achieve more of the things that you want to achieve.
