REPROGRAM YOUR SUBCONSCIOUS TO CHANGE YOUR LIFE
2/22/20262 min read
Before we’re born, our parents choose our name, where we live and what language we speak.
When we grow up, we can reflect on those choices and decide to change any of them.
But it’s not easy.
The most straight-forward one to change is our name. Technically, we simply need to file some paperwork with the government and it’s done.
But in reality it’s much more complicated than that, because after we’ve changed our name we then need to convince every who’s known us for decades as one thing to start calling us something else.
And on top of that we need to reprogram our own system to start recognising the new name as the one we should respond to.
Similarly with the other two, we can make changes but it’s not easy.
In particular if we decide to change the language we speak it would take years, probably decades, to reach the level of fluency we’ve achieved in the language chosen for us from birth, because that language is imbedded so deeply in our subconscious it just comes naturally to us.
I highlight these three key parts of life to illustrate just how much of who we are was decided by other people.
It’s no different for lots of other aspects of our personalities.
When we arrive on this planet, we’re effectively born into a stage musical – handed a script and a costume and told to get on with our role, all without knowing it.
Some, like me, were cast as the high-achieving golden child. Others were the black sheep. Some the funny one, the dramatic one or the quiet one.
We carry that role through life, often until we reach middle-age and start questioning why we’re not as happy and fulfilled as we thought we’d be.
Some people don’t like it when I talk about this stuff, because they misinterpret what I’m saying as being that our parents and upbringing are to blame for our problems.
But those who have ever gone beyond the surface level of what I share know differently.
My life and the work I do with others are both built on a key foundational principle: we must take radical responsibility for our lives.
Blaming anyone else, including our parents or those who raised us, is a pointless exercise that gets us nowhere. Ultimately, the people who raised us were just doing their best based on how they were programmed from their childhood and the roles they were born into.
Once we’ve accepted it’s on us to make any changes we want to make, the next step is identifying for the first time what has been programmed into us that we don’t like, before removing it and replacing it with programming that turns us into the person we’d like to be.
Which is why most people struggle to make real change in their lives – they’re focusing on their conscious mind rather than the subconscious programming they’ve been receiving for decades, which generally overrides everything else.
As with changing languages it takes time and dedication, but it is possible.
One step at a time.
