The Power of Your Subconscious Mind

The subconscious mind does not know the difference between what is imagined and what is actually experienced. If you continue to imagine this grand vision, your subconscious mind will begin to accept it as reality. The subconscious mind can only accept information; it cannot reject. The subconscious mind is like a computer that you can program to do whatever you want it to do. It may seem hard to do at first, to program a computer, but you can learn computer programming; it just takes time and patience. It may take weeks or months to learn a programming language. And it may take weeks or months to reprogram your subconscious mind. The subconscious mind can process 2 million times more information than the conscious mind, and is responsible for 90%+ of our decisionmaking. Our subconscious mind always wins in the long run. People go to the gym on January 1st, but then stop going after a few weeks. They intended to start an exercise program and follow it indefinitely. But what they were using was the conscious mind; not the subconscious. The conscious mind is incredibly weak compared with the subconscious. The subconscious always overrides the conscious. For example, why does Pepsi always win over Coke in taste tests, but people, when surveyed which brand they like better, more often say they like Coke better than Pepsi? You tell me.

Relax and visualize...

If you relax and visualize what you want, and then be patient and continue to relax and give yourself time to research how to get what you want—without concluding it’s not worth the effort, or it’s not possible based on your present level of education or intelligence—then you will get what you want, in time. Your goal is like a plant that you are starting from seed…you need to give the seed time to germinate. Some seeds take weeks to germintate…and some plants that bear fruit may not bear fruit until the second year. So trust that there is a formula for achieving what you want, and that you may not presently have that formula. Trust that there is an easier way to produce the results you want. Trust that you may, instead of working harder, need to work smarter and simply be patient and wait for your “seed” to germinate your “plant” to grow. What’s more important though, is that you actually think about what you want, because that’s the first step. Think about what you want. Do not think about how. Think about what you want, then think about why. Then develop it into an elaborate vision…a dream. Make it feel real in your mind.

Achieving Goals

There is a cause to every effect. Once you know what effect you want to produce, figure out what cause or causes produce that effect. In other words, there is a formula or formulas that can be used to get you what you want. First think about what you want, then study what actions you need to take in order for you to manifest what you want. You have to make sure you think about what you want first; if you think about how to achieve what you want before you think about what you want, then you’ll give up, because you will not have a solid vision with which to guide your thinking. Arnold Schwarzenegger said, “What you do is create a vision of who you want to be, and then live into that picture, as if it were already true.” You need a target to aim for. Your vision, or dream, or desired outcome—is your target. Keep that target in your mind at all times, and you will hit it. But most people don’t spend enough time determining what target they want to hit. They don’t have a target, really. Or they think the target they want to hit is too difficult to hit. They give up too easily.

How to be happy

What are your true desires? Ask yourself what makes you happy. Not what others say is good for you. I want you to think about what you want. What excites you... Try to not rationalize if your feelings are good or bad. Just feel the feelings. Go with your gut instinct. You'll find your passion doing this. ...You know, I used to overthink things. I used to have a feeling, a desire for something, but then rationalized that feeling as bad, and then I didn't pursue that desire, which then made me depressed. Do things that make you feel good, then you'll feel good! How would it feel to feel awesome all the time? You know...there's a way to feel awesome all the time. There is a formula for happiness. There are certain behaviors that will cause you to feel happiest. And when you reprogram your subconscious mind, you'll enable yourself to do those behaviors that you presently know you should do in order to be happy, but right now you don't do them because you don't feel like doing them. Reprogramming your brain will enable you to feel like doing what you know you should do. I am reprogramming my brain...I'm on day 17 of 90. It's changing me. I'm moving to LA tomorrow, pursuing my dreams. So are you going to start "innercising"? I think everyone should innercise every day. It's recommended that we exercise for an hour a day, but there is no recommendation for innercise. When you start to innercise, your life will change. Try it.

Seek and attract mentors

Move toward people who support you. We thrive when we are with people who are like us. Who like us. Who are similar to us...who have similar goals and dreams...If you are around people right now who do not share the goals you have...get away from them. I know it's hard. You may think it's impossible. You may think it's too hard. You may think you are stuck. You may feel controlled. These people you are presently around really want you to stay, because they don't have the confidence in themselves to be okay with you leaving, and be happy that you are on your way to a better life; they are afraid of change. They are just used to the same reality. They don't know what they want--they are reactive. They are not proactive like you are. You may feel very anxious about leaving. You may even rationalize that moving away is not the right think to do, based on how you feel. You may feel scared. You have to do it though. Get away from them, because they won't change if you try to educate them on how to be better people. If you are hopeless about leaving, I've got a solution for you. It's called reprogramming your subconscious mind. Brain re-training. When you do, it will make the difference. It will enable you to do what it takes to get out of your present situation. It will tip the scales. It will make you just confident enough that you will take the action that you know consciously you should take. They will complain, they will try to convince you to stay, they will come up with reasons that you won't make it on your own, that there's no hope for you. Use all the power that's within you to focus on what you want. Focus on yourself and what truly makes you happy. You must do what's right for you. Don't think about other people. They are most likely not thinking about what they want. They are stuck in mediocrity. Move away from these people...and find new people who you want to be like. Seek the best people you can. Have standards that the people who you associate with must meet. Don't settle for anything less. You won't want to anyway, because you know what happens when you do. Assume that getting what you want is possible. Focus on what you want, and maintain those images in your mind. Make a movie out of them. Add in sounds and smells...include all the five senses...experience how it feels to be playing the lead role in that movie. You're the star of the show. Everyone is applauding.

Think Big.

I want to tell you right now, that you have unlimited potential. Did you know, that no one knows how much money you can earn? How creative you can become? No one knows what you're capable of. Think about what these people did...Abraham Lincoln freed the slaves. The United States government put a man on the moon. Thomas Edison took 10,000 tries until he figured out how to make the incandescent lightbulb work. Booker T. Washington traveled 500 miles to "the promised land," (college) and he didn't know where the college was, and he had to beg for rides and food and sleep outside and underneath a sidewalk for several days in cold weather. No one ran the mile in under four minutes until Roger Bannister did it. Then thousands did it after him, because they knew it was possible. You've got to start thinking big...thinking about things that are outside the box. I want you to think about a goal that you want to achieve, that if you achieved it, it would blow your mind. Tell me what you want to achieve. Try to think about what you want...not what you know you can do, or you think you can do. I want you to tell me what you truly want.

What you think about, you bring about.

Think about this for a moment...what would your life be like, if you always thought about what you wanted? Start to monitor your thinking. Take note of what thoughts you think about. Notice that a lot of your thoughts are about things that are totally not what you want, such as what other people are thinking. You're thinking, "What would he think, what would she think?" You're thinking about all the negative consequences to your future actions. Thinking negatively is good sometimes. Focus on what you want. The brain becomes addicted to certain ways of behavior. You want to start making habits of doing things that help you get happier. A habit is behavior pattern. It's a set of behavior that you do almost without thinking. Do you remember when you started to drive? It was probably nerve-wracking. You had to think about how to turn the wheel and how to brake before the turn, and accelerate out of the turn. But now driving is a habit. It's a habit that produces the results you want; it gets you where you want to go. Now, what if you made new habits that brought you better results. For example, making money. What is the difference between rich people and poor people? It's habits. They don't think about getting rich. They just do it, without thinking. It's who they are.
