This 3 min SUBCONSCIOUS MIND exercise will CHANGE YOUR LIFE!
About this video
The creator says most change fails because people try to force it consciously with willpower, while, as he presents it, over 90% of processing is subconscious, the brain processes over 11 million pieces of information per second with only about 40 conscious, and 80% of people fail at change. He explains subconscious beliefs through examples of money and love: growing up hearing ‘money doesn’t grow on trees’ or that love of money is evil can conflict with adult desires for money, leading to self-sabotage and an inability to keep money; similarly, idealized images of love conflict with experiences like parental divorce and breakups. He invokes Hebb’s law — neurons that fire together wire together — and says surface affirmations do not reach deeper core stories. He then gives a daily exercise: 1) get comfortable and breathe in for four and out for four; 2) use the same smell, such as a candle or incense, to anchor the state; 3) visualize in detail your ‘2.0’ self 12 to 18 months ahead — he recounts visualizing a move from Seattle to Arizona, a relationship, a dog and a business, which he says largely came within a year; 4) add touch, hands over the heart or one hand on the forehead and one on the back of the head; 5) say aloud in as few words as possible what you want, such as ‘money’ or ‘freedom’, while smiling; and close with ’this is my new truth and my new reality.’ He recommends 3 to 10 minutes daily for 21 days straight.
Key takeaways
- Conflicting subconscious beliefs about money and love, absorbed without a filter in childhood, can drive self-sabotage even when conscious goals differ.
- Making money and keeping money are presented as different skills; believing money is evil can lead to losing it after earning it.
- Visualize a specific 2.0 version of yourself 12 to 18 months ahead, in detail, rather than an abstract distant future.
- Anchor the exercise with consistent breath, the same scent, and physical touch on the heart or head to interrupt your normal state.
- Speak what you want aloud in a single word where possible, close with ’this is my new truth and my new reality,’ and repeat daily for 21 days.
