13: Subconscious Sabotage

Subconscious Sabotage….

It sounds like something out of a spy movie and perhaps you may even think that you need not learn this lesson but in all honesty if you skip this lesson you run the risk of falling into this exact trap.

So what am I talking about when I say subconscious sabotage? I am talking about the way our brains are programmed to work and how sometimes no matter how hard we try consciously to make things work – somehow we end up doing the complete opposite.

Subconscious patterns can be positive or negative

Once a pattern is in there the subconscious will look for proof that it is correct and it will reject anything that isn't in line with the subconscious belief. Thus this is how beliefs grow stronger and the saying that an old man is stuck in his ways could be truer than we think - and for good reason!

What changes our subconscious patterns is our thoughts. If consistently think different thoughts to the programmed pattern the pattern will eventually change. What usually happens however is that the thoughts we are thinking are a result of the subconscious because we do not make it a practice to be aware of what we are thinking about and thus our reality reflects that.

Be aware of your thoughts. If you catch yourself on a rant or talking or thinking about something you don’t want. Check yourself. And force yourself to re-word it. If its hard to reword into what you want, then you know that your subconscious is fighting you. You however are the boss, so whip it into line with some very conscious positive thoughts.
