Undoubtedly you have \u2013 we all have.  But if you\u2019re paying attention to the crap in your head, you are simply creating the crap that you have in your life.  You are what you think.   Unfortunately, it isn\u2019t just the thoughts that you\u2019re aware of that create your life, it\u2019s a little more subtle than that.  In fact, more than anything else, you are what you\u2019re thinking subconsciously.  Your subconscious mind rules \u2013 or ruins \u2013 your life.  All your behaviour, everything that you do, every single reactions and all your interactions \u2013 with people who are close to you, companions, workmates and even strangers \u2013 are all dictated by your subconscious.   And the really gynormous problem is that, because of the way you\u2019re wired, all this happens automatically.  <\/p>\n<p>However,  you\u2019ve got an even bigger problem.  Your subconscious mind is crammed with crap.  It\u2019s crap because  it has nothing to do with who you are or what you\u2019re supposed to be doing right here, right now.  The crap is a hangover from your childhood, when you were young and impressionable \u2013 from what we all know as our formative years.  And, even though all the automatic behaviour happens subconsciously, every so often you\u2019re actually aware of the crap.  Sometimes you might feel down, suffer from stress, negative or depressed.  You might think that you\u2019re useless, shy or inadequate.  At certain times, or in some situations, you could feel anxious or nervous.  Maybe you feel that you\u2019re lacking self-confidence or that you\u2019re being dragged down by <a href='http:\/\/www.gurdy.net' target='_blank'>low self-esteem<\/a>.   But this is just crap created by crap!  This is the crap that has your life stuck where it is \u2013 and you\u2019re letting it happen by paying attention, whether you\u2019re aware of it or not, to the crap that\u2019s wedged in your head.<\/p>\n<p>This crap won\u2019t go away \u2013 but you can decide whether or not you pay attention to it \u2013 either consciously or, in actual fact, subconsciously.  This is what <a href='http:\/\/www.gurdy.net' target='_blank'>personal development or self improvement<\/a> is all about.  You see, as a grown up, you can actually take charge of your subconscious mind \u2013 decide, in each moment, what you\u2019ll pay your attention to.  So you have to choose to turn your attention to something real instead of letting your subconscious mind just lead you by the nose into an ever deepening vortex of crap.  There\u2019s only thing that\u2019s really real in your life \u2013 the here and now.  This is where you could actually be the very best you if you could only stop paying attention to all the crap.  Start paying attention to now \u2013 to what you see, feel, hear, smell and taste.  This focus will drag your subconscious (sometimes kicking and screaming) away from its natural obsession with all the unreal crap.  As things stand,  you don\u2019t really experience anything real because you see it through the fog of crap.  You\u2019ve got to clear the fog \u2013 it won\u2019t clear on its own because it\u2019s your personal fog.  Clear the fog by appreciating that it isn\u2019t there at all!  There is no fog.<\/p>\n<p>All that\u2019s here is what is here now.  So teach yourself to pay attention to your five senses \u2013 make sense of the here and now instead of nonsense.  It will change your life. <\/p>\n<iframe src=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/plugins\/like.php?href=http%3A%2F%2Fwisdomhealthprosperity.com%2Fselfimprovementmastery%2Fsuccess-and-happiness-how-to-handle-the-crap-in-your-head%2F&amp;layout=standard&amp;show_faces=true&amp;width=450&amp;action=like&amp;colorscheme=light&amp;height=80\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"border:none; overflow:hidden; width:450px; height:80px;\" allowTransparency=\"true\"><\/iframe><div class=\"addtoany_share_save_container\"><div class=\"a2a_kit addtoany_list\"><a class=\"a2a_dd addtoany_share_save\" href=\"http:\/\/www.addtoany.com\/share_save\"><img src=\"http:\/\/wisdomhealthprosperity.com\/selfimprovementmastery\/wp-content\/plugins\/add-to-any\/share_save_256_24.png\" width=\"256\" height=\"24\" alt=\"Share\"\/><\/a><\/div>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\"><!--\nvar a2a_config = a2a_config || {};\na2a_config.linkname=\"Success And Happiness: How To Handle The Crap In Your Head\";\na2a_config.linkurl=\"http:\/\/wisdomhealthprosperity.com\/selfimprovementmastery\/success-and-happiness-how-to-handle-the-crap-in-your-head\/\";\na2a_config.onclick=1;\na2a_config.show_title=1;\n\/\/--><\/script><script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"http:\/\/static.addtoany.com\/menu\/page.js\"><\/script>\n\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Do you have crap in your head?
