You turn out the bedside lamp. It gets dark. Your day is through. Nothing you can do at this point is going to make your life better. Right? I believe that would be an incorrect assumption.

If you fall asleep reliving what went wrong during the day, you are setting yourself up for more of the same tomorrow.

Until we recognize that we create our reality with our thoughts, we will continue to reap a life that is less than charitable to ourselves. The fact is the subconscious mind is what creates our reality all life long. However, depending on what source you read and decide to believe, the subconscious mind only opens to suggestions at most, 12% of the time. The most likely time of day that the subconscious is naturally open to take suggestions is that last three minutes before you fall asleep.

The conscious mind during the last three minutes can program the subconscious mind most easily just before sleep. That is when we should spring our deepest desires for our success, impressing our dreams for wealth, our dreams for world peace, healing, or whatever on the subconscious mind. The scientific reason based on research for this is that the there are only two ways to program the subconscious and therefore change what we experience in life. One way is repetition. The other is the relaxation into a near sleep-like state called Theta.

Since we all get sleepy and are near actual unconscious in those last three minutes of the day, the subconscious is open and ready for our input. What we put in during this time sticks and the mystery of how the subconscious actually brings them about after that is not fully known. Only self experience will be able to prove to one's satisfaction that what we think on just before sleep does bring about change.

One thing we know for sure, what ever thought we persist upon, the subconscious begins to assume is true. Therefore, regardless if what we visualize, picture or pretend is true or not in reality, the subconscious acts on it as true. Therefore, it is imperative in those last three minutes we think on what we want our life to be instead of terrorists actions and similar debilitating thoughts.

There is one method that we can use in this last three minutes that has been found to trump all other techniques. Instead of thinking of becoming a millionaire, for example, and all the ways you could raise, invest, create to make that amount of money we should focus on the feeling of being a millionaire. That's right, simply invent a scenario, likely or not, of just being told that a certain amount has been deposited in your bank account. Imagine the sum printed on the deposit slip. How would that feel? Would your life partner be there, jumping up and down in celebration? You write the scenario. You cannot be wrong in what you think as long as it is positive in energy and expectation.

The subconscious does the rest and what circumstances might cause the celebration is unknown, just focus on the feeling of accomplishment. This feeling can be a pronouncement from a doctor that your medical problem has been cured or healed as I like to think of it. The idea, is to use this technique for really large quantum leaps in your life and happiness. Think or live in the end (the moment you know it worked) of your dream scenario. Concentrate on the feeling of completion and celebration. Until...the light in your brain goes out and you are in slumberland.

That will prove to be the best three minutes of your day. Over and over for the rest of your life, you can steer your ship (life experiences) to land at every port of success you can imagine. Literally. It costs nothing to prove this to yourself. If you wait for a study to prove this is correct, that study my never be published. It is up to you to check out the results. However, there is not a better way to end a day than expecting great things tomorrow (or however long it will take to manifest) and celebrating them in advance tonight. What do you have to lose?

Ralph Waldo Emerson was the originator of my favorite quote: "A man becomes what he thinks about all day long."

Griff adds: "but, the last three minutes does the heavy lifting."

My best to all, we can change everything we experience with this,
