Whenever I take a break from reading and then start getting back into it... I realize how much I enjoy it. Even when I was a kid... The other kids would be playing outside and I'd be in my room reading a book. Every year for Christmas I'd get a few Hardy Boys books to go with my collection (which I saved for my son). He gets all my Hardy Boys books.
Anyway, I have read a lot of true crime books. I find them interesting because it takes you through the whole thing, what lead up to it, the crime, how the investigators found the evidence, and the trial. All in one book. I'm a slow reader so it'd take me a month or longer to make it through one book.
I have two books I'm reading. One is the Big Book. The other one is called Choices by Shad Helmstetter. This book is about making choices and why it is sometimes difficult to make choices. We are victims of our programming. Our thought patterns... Early negative mental programs.
Our programs direct what we think, how we feel, what we do. Because they are chemically and electrically imprinted in the brain. Whatever the brain is told, it accepts whether or not what is being told is true or false. We get a lot of these programs from other people, but we also get them from ourselves.
The Second book is called: "What to Say When You Talk to Yourself." It's about giving yourself new programs. Through Self-Talk. I keep looking for the part, over and over and still haven't found it, where he wrote that 3/4ths of most people's programming is negative programming. I found that interesting. Because it explains a lot. Negative programming prevents us from choosing positive programming. It's a comfort zone thing. People get so comfortable with the negative aspects of who they are that they don't even realize how negative those aspects are. When they do realize how they are negative and how they are being negatively affected by their own programming, they don't know how to turn it around.
Anyway, it is an interesting book. I'm going to do some reading before bed. Goodnight!
