Got Goals? Sick of Sabotaging Them?

Do you have big dreams or goals but feel more like a rat on a wheel? Are you self-sabotaging or getting in your own way? If so, read on…

It’s very common to set goals and end up sabotaging them. The subconscious mind (that part of you that holds your core beliefs and is like your operating system controlling your breathing, heart beat, automatic responses, and how you react when your safety feels threatened) does not like change. It does not like it one little bit.

Change … even good change… is considered “rocking the boat” to the subconscious mind. Do you feel like you get stuck in ruts? There are ways to work around this part of your mind! You don’t have to be bound by beliefs that you formed in your early years or that are largely instinctive. God created you to act for yourself and not simply to be acted upon. You have free will and choice.

How do you get the subconscious to stop thwarting your plans for success because it thinks standing out and being noticed could get you eaten by a saber toothed tiger? Or how do you get your subconscious programs to stop perceiving “failure” as the potential for others to ostracize you, cast you out of the tribe, and leave you alone to die?

Tip for Making the Subconscious Mind Work for You

I’ll share with you one tip that I’ve learned as I’ve gotten trained to teach Leslie Householder’s Genius Bootcamps:

Whatever you give your attention and emotion to tells the subconscious you want more of it. It doesn’t matter if you’re feeling a positive or negative emotion. Read that again… Whether you’re feeling a strong positive or a negative emotion, the subconscious thinks you want more of whatever is going on (or whatever you’re worrying about)!

That means if you’re fretting over something, you’re actually telling the subconscious to give you more of that thing! Isn’t that horrifying? This means that if you are terrified that your boss is going to be mad and fire you over a mistake you made, and you fearfully imagine having to tell your spouse about it, your subconscious thinks you want to get fired. The subconscious will go to work getting you to act or say something that alienates your boss and makes him or her want to fire you. Or maybe you’ll come up with an excuse to quit before they can even say a word.

Conversely, what if you imagined your boss saying, “Oh, don’t worry about it. We all make mistakes every once in a while. I trust you to fix it and get it right next time”? If you feel a great deal of gratitude and happiness that your boss is taking it all in stride and offering you grace, you will act in such a way (and carry yourself in such a way) that you are much more likely to elicit a positive response.

Carry this a bit further. Whenever something good happens in your life, REJOICE in it! Give it lots of positive extra love and gratitude! You’ll get more of what you like. When something happens you don’t want more of, give it no emotion. Remain neutral about it. Casually and calmly say, “Well, this may look bad, but I’m sure it’s all going to work out for my good. This is just making room for something even better around the corner.”
