Three Tips for Reworking Your Subconscious Mind

back to cheddar news rap. Now you may be wondering how can you quiet the chaos in your mind long enough to truly understand it and these days, especially you may find it difficult to ground yourself in any given moment to be present and to focus on what's going on up here. Now, if you don't know where to start, some say mindfulness practices can be used to help gain control of your mind, shift your behaviors, cope with anxiety and ultimately better understand yourself. So to give us some understanding, joining me now is Ryan Haddon life coach, a meditation teacher and Ryan, your work focuses heavily on the subconscious mind. How does our subconscious work and what does it have to do with being mindful? Well, the subconscious runs 95% of our lives and it's like a river flowing underneath everything. And the conscious mind is what holds our willpower, a critical thinking or analytical and our logical mind right? But the subconscious houses all our beliefs, our patterns, our emotions, our memories, our habits, and our intuition. So you can see it's it's very strong and it can really reroute things. So if you want to change your life, you want to start being aware of the subconscious and those patterns that you have of repetitive thinking or how things get rerouted, that can sort of give you a clue in and we've picked up a lot of childhood messaging, negative habits, environmental conditioning fears and phobias and those things start to run point in the subconscious mind. So even when you put your best foot forward, it can feel really frustrating at times where you're not able to call into being the life you want find your purpose, get over an addiction or a bad habit and for people who work really hard on theirselves, it can be very frustrating. So can you walk us through your three tips to reworking the subconscious mind and how to best achieve each tip? Let me first tell you a little bit about these brainwave activities that we have, we have the beta, which is what we're in right now, this very fast moving state of being in the mind. We also have below that Alpha and then there's data and data is where the subconscious can be programmed and can be reprogrammed and a new operating system run up if you will in that. So we want to drop into theta now way to do that is by relaxing the body and counting down from 10 to 1 very slowly, very deliberately and dropping yourself into that theta state. So that's a really good time to repeat an affirmation to remember what you want in your life. And also to visualize what you'd like to have come into being and just play over and over that same, you know, mission goal accomplishment. And don't worry about how you're going to get there, don't worry about the details, Just keep playing that over to yourself in that data state and going to bed at night, we move through these states before we drop into Delta, which is at the bottom of those brainwave activities. So as you're going to sleep, it would be a really powerful time to repeat an affirmation that's meaningful to you. You know, I can step into my abundance. I am safe, I am happy. I am loved all the things we all want as human beings. So these are ways to optimize your affirmations and also for this life that you feel is just over there. Somehow. That's untenable. You can work your subconscious mind in a very practical way to help you finally close that gap between where you stand and where you want to be. So what are the benefits of reprogramming your subconscious mind? How might people see, see real life changes? Oh my gosh! They're so numerous. I mean I have clients come through, I'm a hypnotherapist. I have clients come through and we've had people with Unable to quit smoking. I myself 20 years ago wasn't able to quit smoking. And I found hypnosis through um for wanting to quit smoking so that you can stop addictions and phobias. And again, I had someone who was afraid to get in the water and after one session they were swimming in the ocean. So I can't promise that. But it's all hypnosis is self hypnosis. It's to the degree that you allow yourself to open to it. And like I said, it's it can change your life very small to very big things now, why do some people's manifestations and informations not work? What would be the issue there? Because they're repeating these affirmations in the beta state and that's why I explained that to you. So they're like banging their heads on the wall and saying I'm open to abundance, I step into my best life, all these affirmations that people do, but they're doing it in the beta state. So you you can just start working on this on your own to drop yourself into that data state or when you're going to sleep at night and then try your affirmations then and then see what happens because what you're doing is you're that's fertile soil and you're putting seeds into that fertile soil so it can take root and really shift how you live your life.
