How Does Your Subconscious Stop You?

We spend 95% of our day living from our subconscious. The part of our mind that just acts without thinking.

Our subconscious works on learned patterns (paradigms). Patterns passed on from parents, grandparents, teachers, those around us when we were younger.

We’re sleep walking, so to speak.

We very often respond before we even know why.

We stop before we even start.

The good news is we can change that.

If we know how…

Vibrant Living Tip

Let’s take a look at how the stopping starts.

Something happens. It causes you to doubt. Your subconscious scans for someone to blame. You doubt yourself or someone else. Doubt turns to worry. What if… You awfulize. Worry turns to fear. Fear gets bigger. Your subconscious wants to keep you safe.

You stop.

How do you turn that around?

We are the only species on earth that can choose our environment. Choice is the first step. Nothing happens without a decision. Gratitude is where to start. Notice when you feel doubt. Immediately find something about the situation to be grateful for. Even if it is – I am grateful I noticed my doubt.

Ask – how can I see this differently. Reframe the doubtful thought to support where you want to go.

Then ask – what can I do today to reinforce my new thought. Take that action.

Repeat as needed.

Vibrant Living Take Away

Noticing is the first step. The sooner you notice, the faster you can remove doubt and keep living vibrantly.

 

Until next time...

Dream Bravely.
Act Boldly.
Live Vibrantly!
