We take out the old negative stuff and we replace it with some new positive stuff, just like a software upgrade really.
Not as easy as it sounds though is it? For those of you that have tried the positive affirmation route you know full well that after years of thinking the way we do to suddenly think that we can change it all by making a few positive affirmations, well really .......
What you really need to do to insert these affirmations more deeply is to get out of your normal range of consciousness, into what could be regarded as a 'higher' state of consciousness. Once there you can literally 'see' yourselves with a clearer view. From here also you may realise how unhappy you are, or how too busy you are, or trapped or . . . . . .
This is not nice, it is not a nice feeling to see that we are not as happy as we thought we were. Yes I know it is all relative, but relative to what? You can rationalise all you like that you are better off than some people you know, but really you feel the feelings associated with who you 'think' you are right now. How does that feel?
So what you are doing here is stirring up the hornets nest of the 'ego'. But you are doing this for a reason. You are literally getting to the bottom of things, and this isn't always a pleasant experience, in my opinion.
But then you come back to the breath rhythm, back to the calmness and stillness that you are now starting to create through your own will, with the yogic practise of Asana - Pranayama - Meditation. You are now learning to operate your own nervous system.
