Conditioning our mind is training our brain like we train our biceps in the gym. We direct our thoughts repeatedly into the direction we want them to go. We envision an end goal like we do with our bodies. Often we are not aware where our mind is at. This may have us focused on areas that are not necessarily a major priority.  We need to be clear what we want and then we need to dedicate time daily to focus. Even though we have dreams and hopes - if we don't think about them, they are are not likely to come to fruition.
