What if the key to unlocking your fullest potential, breaking out of an endless loop, and transforming your life wasn’t something outside, but within you?

Imagine if you could access this “behind-the-scenes” part of your mind and give it a new set of instructions. Would it surprise you to learn that this is indeed possible? 

Subconscious programming is a scientifically-backed practice that can bring about significant, life-altering changes. Your subconscious mind is always on, always listening and processing information, even when you’re asleep. Through specific techniques, you can tap into this non-stop processing ability to overwrite old, limiting beliefs with new, empowering ones.

As a Brain Trainer & Clinical Hypnotherapist, I often find people curious about how the subconscious mind works and how to unlock its power. Today, we’ll guide you on an insightful journey of tapping into this powerhouse, and delve into the most frequently asked questions of how to reprogram your subconscious mind. 

In answering these common questions, my aim is to give you a better understanding of how to make a change of subconscious patterns, so as to reclaim your power, and consciously create the life you desire.

1: Is Your Problem Rooted in Your Subconscious?

Many of our challenges stem from the subconscious mind. If you’re stuck in certain patterns or can’t seem to break away from repetitive, unhelpful behaviour, the answer likely lies in your subconscious.

Consider an iceberg. The small portion visible above water symbolises your conscious mind, comprising thoughts and actions within your immediate awareness. 

But beneath the water lies a vast, unseen majority – the subconscious mind. It’s a reservoir of memories, beliefs, and experiences shaping your daily actions, habits, and life patterns.

The old patterns have become entrenched programs running on autopilot in the depths of your mind, unbeknownst to you. These programs are triggered under specific circumstances, leading to what we call the psychological conditioned response. 

This could manifest as anxiety, nail biting, binge eating, or a variety of unwanted behaviours, like procrastination.

To change these patterns, we need to delve beneath the surface and tap into the potential of the subconscious mind.

2: How the Subconscious Mind Works?

The subconscious mind is shaped by past experiences, and it uses those experiences to inform its automatic responses to various stimuli. 

For example, if you had a traumatic experience with dogs in the past, your subconscious mind may automatically generate fear and anxiety when you see a dog, even if you consciously know that the dog is not a threat.

The subconscious mind is always processing information in the background, and it makes decisions and generates responses based on its stored memories and beliefs. This is why it can be difficult to change automatic behaviours and thought patterns without reprogramming the subconscious mind.

Your subconscious mind is like a tape recorder that plays back the same old tapes over and over again. If you want to change your tapes, you need to re-record new ones.

3: How Can You Talk to Your Subconscious Mind?

The subconscious mind communicates differently from your conscious mind. Instead of words and logical reasoning, it speaks through emotions, physical responses, images, and patterns.

This means solely self-talk or affirmation like “I am successful” might not work unless it’s tied to a strong emotion or visual imagery. To effectively communicate with your subconscious mind, you need to incorporate feelings, visualisations, and sensory experiences.

4: What is The First Step In Learning How to Reprogram Your Subconscious Mind?

It’s of utmost importance to uncover the automatic operations of your subconscious mind before reprogramming your subconscious mind. I invite you to reflect on the following questions. 

As you read each question, take a moment to honestly examine your feelings and thoughts. Remember, there are no right or wrong answers. This is a personal journey of self-discovery and understanding.

How do you react when faced with a stressful situation?

Observe your immediate thoughts, physical reactions, and the emotions that arise. How do these responses align with your conscious desires?

What habits do you engage in daily without thinking?

These could be anything from your morning routine to your eating habits. Are these habits serving your well-being and aligning with your goals?

How do you perceive failure and success?

Your subconscious mind might be holding onto fear of failure or even success. Are these perceptions helping or hindering your progress?

What are your emotional patterns?

Do you notice a certain emotion repeatedly showing up in different situations? How does this affect your behaviour and decision-making?

How do you react when your beliefs are challenged?

This reaction can shed light on the deep-rooted beliefs residing in your subconscious mind.

What recurring thoughts do you have?

Whether it’s self-doubt, criticism, or fear, these repetitive thoughts are echoes of your subconscious beliefs.

What dreams or goals do you have that you feel are out of reach?

Often, it’s not the lack of capability, but subconscious limiting beliefs holding you back from achieving your desires.

These questions are designed to help you engage in a dialogue with your subconscious mind.

As you delve deeper, you’ll gain a clearer understanding of what’s driving your behaviours and emotions. Recognizing these patterns is the first step towards reprogramming your subconscious mind. It’s a process of self-awareness.

5: Is There a Step-by-Step Process Learning How to Reprogram Your Subconscious Mind?

While there isn’t a one-size-fits-all approach, a typical process includes these steps:

1.Identify Unhelpful Patterns: By identifying and understanding the roots of your subconscious patterns, you start to gain more awareness. Use introspection to understand the beliefs holding you back.

2.Find out where the limiting beliefs come from: Journey through time to go back to the roots of your unwanted thinking, behaviours. Challenge your thinking from your adult perspective. Tell yourself, “This Isn’t me anymore”. As you challenge your thinking, you can shatter your old belief that’s not serving you.

3.Reprogram Beliefs: Introduce new beliefs, positive affirmations in present tense to overwrite the limiting beliefs.

4.Reinforce Changes: Regularly practise your new beliefs until they become automatic. Consciously implementing change, you can break free from old paradigms and step into new possibilities.

6: Do You Have to Be Awake or Asleep to Reprogram Your Subconscious Mind?

Subconscious reprogramming can occur both during your awake and sleep states. By gaining self awareness, being your own observer – witnessing your own thoughts & emotions, visualisation, and positive affirmations work well during waking hours. 

For reprogramming your subconscious mind, it especially works well when you are just awake and before going to sleep, consider practices like self-hypnosis and listening to positive affirmations.

7: How Long Does Reprogramming Take?

Reprogramming the subconscious mind is not a one-time event; it’s a transformative expedition of introspection and conscious alteration of thought patterns. 

Just as a river slowly carves a canyon, repeated engagement with new, empowering scripts gradually rewrites the narratives embedded in your subconscious mind.

As you persistently engage in this journey, over time, you’ll notice yourself gaining mastery over your thoughts and emotions, fostering a more robust belief in your capabilities. 

This newfound control is a sign that you’re on the right path, that the old patterns are dissolving, making way for new, empowering narratives. So, while there’s no universal timeframe, one day you’ll realise that the new pattern has become your default, signifying a successful subconscious reprogramming.

8: Do’s and Don’ts of Subconscious Reprogramming

Do’s:

Be your own observer.

Be consistent with your practices.

Use positive, present-tense affirmations.

Believe in the process and in yourself.

Don’ts:

Don’t judge yourself.

Don’t use negative or future tense phrases in your affirmations.

Don’t forget to celebrate small wins along the way.

9: How Will You Know You’ve Successfully Reprogrammed Your Subconscious Mind?

You’ll start noticing changes in your thoughts, behaviours, and reactions. Things that once troubled you might seem manageable, and you’ll find yourself reacting differently to familiar situations.
