Unconscious Mental Programs that are Keeping you Trapped

The biochemistry of the body is conditioned to keep thinking the same old thoughts and feeling the same old feelings, and that is in the way of you being able to manifest your dreams. Most of these feelings and thoughts are so automatic you aren’t even aware of them. So, developing the awareness of the underlying emotions and thoughts is the first step in becoming free of them.

Why is it so hard to change?

Whenever we have a thought, we create a chemical. Great thoughts equal great chemicals that make us feel good. When you start to feel negative you start thinking how you feel and that is a state of being.Repetitive cycles of those brain chemicals conditions the body to maintain the homeostasis of the mind. You have thought and repeated those thoughts and feelings over and over so it becomes part of your personality. When we can’t think better any than we feel, we can’t change.

Change lifts the mind out of the body, and this takes extreme effort. It’s uncomfortable. When you interrupt the chemistry of your body, you will experience reactions. Your body revolts and doesn’t know who it is anymore. This doesn’t feel right to the mind, and we start hearing the voices of the old programs that have kept us stuck—I’m not good enough, no one listens to me, those people are jerks, it will never get any better, no one cares about me—on and on. As soon as we accept that those voices are true, we go back to the beginning again. Most people never change because it’s uncomfortable. The same old feelings are more familiar, even if they are painful. Those memories are there as neural pathways that have been so ingrained that, without effort, we can revert to that thinking any time we are too hungry, angry, lonely, or tired, or are confronted with issues that re-stimulate old losses.

Although those memories will always be there, our brains have tremendous and ongoing learning capacity. So we can practice those thoughts and emotions that will result in an optimum life and eventually develop minds that respond effectively and in response to our conscious control. Who are YOU? Otherwise it’s a struggle.

The first step is being focused on possibility.

This type of thinking and feeling takes different neural networks and begins to put them together in new ways. As we think about who we can become, we begin to create a new body.

Emotions are the end product of our experiences. Negative emotions are connected to past experiences. So, if we want to change, we have to change the energy connected to our reality—our emotions.

We often use our feelings as a barometer to judge our level of change, so if we feel the same feelings, even though we have been practicing new thoughts and behaviors, we will talk ourselves out of change. You can know all this stuff intellectually but until you actually sit down and start thinking greater than how you feel to change your brain and body ahead of the environment, nothing will change.

If you remove yourself from the conditions in your environment, become aware of the unconscious thoughts, inhibit the circuits from firing, and then remind yourself who you want to be today, you can make the decision that you are not going to get up until you are that new person each day, in a new state of being.

No matter what you are trying to change, when you make the decision to change the body, your mind is going to revolt and try to get you back to the sameness.

If you want to change, learn that that is the moment of greatness and say, ‘get behind me’. Sooner or later those voices won’t be there any longer.

As you begin to honor yourself and make a commitment to your word for yourself, and maintain that work, the unworthiness and suffering will go away. You will begin to let your unconscious mental programs work for you instead of against you.
