How to reprogram YOU
- ARTICLES |
If you’ve read any of the self-help, motivational, goal setting, or success books out there you can see what a lot of them have in common. The one factor that most of them reveal is that you and ONLY you have control of your thoughts. But what most of them don’t tell you is that your subconscious is the one in control most of the time by affecting your thinking process.
The subconscious has one major goal, to help you survive, to keep you safe, to protect you or more generally, self preservation. How does the subconscious do this? By the way you program it.
How do you program it? Most of the time it’s done completely automatically without any conscious thought on your part. That is what you have to change. You must begin to reprogram the subconscious by changing what the subconscious has stored and what it will store in the future.
The subconscious is always listening and storing EVERYTHING you experience. It doesn’t judge it just stores but it does store it in one of two ways; important information and unimportant information.
Any information that the subconscious receives with any type of strong emotion attached to it is stored as important information to be recalled when needed. Any information received without any emotional energy attached to it is stored as unimportant data.
For example let’s say you are in a car accident, nothing major just some minor damage to the outside of the car. When the accident happen you hear someone slam on the breaks and the squeal of the tires on the road and then you felt the impact of the other car hitting your car. During this process your adrenalin started pumping, your heart beat increased, your body trembled with the rush of blood and adrenalin, your perception was increased and your subconscious stored all this information.
The next time you are driving you hear someone slam on the breaks and tires squealing. Before you know it your heart is racing and your body is trembling but there is no impact and no car that you can see. Your subconscious has been programmed and affects your body in return.
Now if this happens on rare occasions this program will remain so when you hear squealing tires your heart will race and your body will tremble.
To change this programming you must experience the occurrence of squealing tires without the impact over and over and over, before your subconscious stops producing the same results.
This same type of conditioning takes place on thoughts you have. You try to run a race and fail and people laugh at you. You say to yourself that “I’m no good, I never win.” You may be referring to only the race but because there is strong emotion due to failing and being laughed at your subconscious stores two pieces of data it finds IMPORTANT, 1) “I’m no good and 2) I never win.
So the next time you try to do something the subconscious doesn’t want you to fail, it wants to protect you, it wasn’t you to survive, to not feel embarrassed, so it will try to prevent you from doing it by having you not trying or giving up before someone laughs at you. Even if you do make it all the way though the task you set the subconscious has the “IMPORTANT” data saying “I’m no good and I never win” so it stats the whole task with the perceived impression that you are going to fail.
Just like the care you have to reprogram this piece of incorrect data. Plan something easy, something you feel you can achieve and when you succeed at it get yourself pumped up emotionally… and say to yourself “Damn I’m good! I always win”. Repeat this over and over and over until you reprogram the old subconscious response.
Every time you find a bad program, do something similar to reprogram it.
