A short conversational piece (YouTube) in which Hal Elrod and another speaker discuss more effective ways to use affirmations to reprogram the subconscious. The speaker argues that the subconscious responds to emotions and imagery rather than language, and suggests pairing affirmations with vivid memories/evidence to rewire beliefs.
What you affirm repeatedly becomes your reality or your inner reality. Affirmations were how I started to reprogram my subconscious mind through repetition and using emotion with the affirmation. So that's my favorite tool for reprogramming my subconscious. I wanted to know what are your favorite tools, since this is your area of expertise.
Actually, there's a way better hacked system for affirmations. So what's really interesting is your conscious mind speaks language. Your subconscious mind doesn't really speak language at all. It speaks in emotions and imagery. So a lot of times when we're using affirmations, people get tripped up there because they just use language. And sometimes affirmations can really fall short there because somebody's like, oh, I'm good enough, I'm good enough, I'm good enough. And they're just speaking language. And then for all intents and purposes, we're actually intellectualizing at that point. So what we do, we take a belief and it's opposite. So if it's I'm not good enough, I am good enough, then I get people to find 10 to 15 pieces of evidence or memory.
Yes.
For when they felt good enough. Because memories are a container of emotions and imagery. If you come up with memories, it's actually bringing up or bringing forth emotions and images. And then we want 10 to 15, because repetition is what's firing and wiring our neural networks. And so listening back in that suggestible state, it takes like two to three minutes a day. Doing it for 21 days, we actually rewire fundamental core beliefs that can really be blocking us. So that's a really good one.
