Would you like to change your life?
Change it like you have never done before?
Well, you can. It only takes a change of mind first. That change is in your subconscious mind.
Being honest, I’d say you have probably heard of your subconscious but have no idea how it operates in your head or even if it operates at all. Well, let me tell you, it’s very real and alive and working in your background all the time.
And mostly it’s working to undermine you by spreading bad news in your head.
So, let’s bring it out in the open and turn it into a confidence booster rather than a party pooper.
The Bad Voice.
I want you to think of your subconscious as a voice in your head.
It’s that one that whispers the kind of crappy advice such as, ‘Be careful, it will all go wrong’, or ‘Don’t bother, you could never do that’, and general doom and gloom messages. In other words, it’s very subtle like a thief in the night, but it’s also very skilful at doing what it does. That’s because all those dreams and plans you never followed through with, or the ideas you still have that you talk yourself out of, have therefore been the subconscious influencing you. Persuading you NOT to go ahead or give it a go.
Alternatively, it also grabs you in a pincer movement. It pumps you full of fears and negatives in general about the world, predicting that almost everything could be a threat and that either you or your life might meet some downfall. Recognise either? Or both?
Firstly, you may now be thinking how does it do it? And secondly, that’s because you are not truly aware of how it’s stopping you.
Ok, consider something you want to achieve. Be a successful lawyer. Win the heart of that girl/guy in accounts. Run a half marathon. Become a retro 1960’s dress designer. Open a specialist ice cream parlour. The type of future where you will better yourself for yourself.
The first thoughts you have of your aspiration will be based on what it would be like; how good it would feel, yourself being fulfilled, popular or well off, and the like. The normal conscious thoughts.
Then naughty subconscious interjects like a nervous parent. It reminds you of anything and everything that could be a pitfall. Except it turns them into a likelihood. And guess what goes through your mind? The guy or girl rejects you in front of everyone or you won’t run more than a mile and people will point and laugh at you. Your ice cream sucks and you lose a fortune.
It happens in the blink of an eye!
Millisecond madness.
The trouble is all this above occurs a millisecond after your initial idea/imagination of what you want. It jumps into your mind and hijacks your feelings and beliefs. As a result, after that happens a number of times you give up, convinced it’s all a waste of time and you the biggest waste of all. However my friend, it’s YOUR subconscious mind so you have one task up your sleeve to prevent it ruining things….
You have to retrain it!
You see your subconscious is part of you that’s been left to run amok unchecked. A bit like teenagers having a house party without supervision. It’s got out of control because it only remembers all the times when situations turned against you. It’s a guard dog that reads everyone as a danger. It requires retraining.
As it’s yours, you are the one who is boss. The leader of your mental pack that tells it to heel, sit down, and obey. Naturally, only in a nice way though.
Act with belief and begin communicating with your subconscious. Upon finishing this post pay attention to your subconscious. Wake it up. Imagine something better for yourself. WAY better. Scale it up in your mind. Make it the top outcome, a brilliant ending. As you begin your subconscious will stir like a sleeping lion and bite back.
It will bear it’s killer teeth by pushing every bad scenario at you. But, you are now prepared. Here is your moment of truth.
You are going to fight back.
Fight the good fight.
Some fights are worth winning. This one 100% is!
The moment you spot those poor predictions and bad feelings rising you are going to replace them.
Firstly, when the initial negative thought hits, you are going to firmly state, ‘NO, that is not true. This is..’
And at that point reiterate in your mind that you will succeed. Add self-confident thoughts and sayings. Examples could be, ‘This is me as I am meant to be’, or, ‘This is what I want, and I fully deserve all of it’. Make the effort to feel good emotions about your aims and desires so that they will link to the thoughts and vision. Connect them all up. One new set of subconscious instructions. The new mindset norm.
Secondly…KEEP AT IT!!
This is not a one day or once a day or week exercise. Persist. Repeat. Day after multi-day. IT IS GOING TO WORK!!
Soon (a few weeks maybe, slightly longer for the majority) your subconscious will start acting in a confident manner. It will start to encourage and drive you. Optimism and excitement surges and increasingly bursts through. You feel good about the future. The lion is turning into a pussy cat.
And if you never let up doing this, you will be a super subconscious capable of anything. God, imagine where you could be in a year from now?? So, do it!!
Set your mind to it, your subconscious mind.
Create that mega confidence in there and ride the new mental wave to somewhere very new.
