How to get back into flow when your brain is seizing up Sometimes, just sometimes, we come across an amazing life changing opportunity. Something that can make our dreams come true, we just have to reach out, grab it, do the work and we just know inside it’s going to change our lives for the better. For me, this has come in the form of a business opportunity, but for you it might be a possible new relationship, a career move or promotion, any big change in your life. The problem I’ve found with amazing things is that sometimes our crappy programs in our subconscious can’t deal and freak out, even though you logically know this is a great thing. Kicking your own butt and getting your brain back into flow can be one of the most challenging thing, so here are some tips if you are going through this to help you stop seizing up and reaching that dream goal you desire.

Why is this happening?

Our subconscious has lots of “programs” that run in the background. We learn a lot of them when we are young. According to Bruce Lipton, the problem is that 70% of the programs we learn before age 7 are self-sabotaging. Our brain’s job is to keep us alive and it doesn’t distinguish between success and failure, it just knows it wants to keep us safe.

Trying to find exactly which thought pattern is seizing us up and sabotaging our conscious mind’s efforts can be tricky. This requires a fair bit of self-awareness.

Reading books on these topics can help, but also seeing a Professionally qualified Hypnotherapist can help too. I’m not talking about someone who performs on stage, I mean someone who can sit you down and go through an interview process with you and then create a therapeutic program for you to rewrite that subconscious program. Check out this association for a list of qualified therapist in Australia.

Repetition and Affirmations It might seem stupid, I know Hollywood comedies have poked fun of people standing and talking to themselves in the mirror, but it works. Louise Hay type affirmations, repeated over and over throughout your day can rewire your subconscious over time. It’s tedious but if you really want to conquer this and change your life then you’re going to have to put in the work. There are heaps of websites like this one with affirmations on them. I have a printout laminated next to my bathroom mirror which I need to use more than I do.

Create new experiences This one can be hard when it comes to success. Exposure techniques can be good if you have a fear or phobia but if it’s pretty extreme then talking to a Psychologist about how to do this effectively can help retrain your subconscious to realise that what it perceives is a threat isn’t actually as bad as it thinks. The trick is to expose yourself to a stimulus and then wait until you start calming down naturally before you exit.

Whenever you have a good experience or a win, even if it’s small, try to reinforce it into your mind and focus on it, even writing about it in a diary. By letting your brain know you are a winner, it’s more likely to keep focusing on

positive wins and looking to keep winning as opposed to that negative self-talk “I’m such a loser”

Don’t beat yourself up Speaking of negative self-talk, I remember reading years ago that if we spoke to someone else the way we talk to ourselves we’d probably lose all our friends. Forgive yourself, love yourself, you are human and as long as your intentions are pure and you try your hardest then you can look back and know you gave it your all. The biggest thing is to take responsibility for your failures and understand that you have the power inside of you to create a new outcome next time. Don’t blame others, if you do then you have no power over what happened and we want to be women of power and integrity, not victims.

The biggest thing is to get back up when you fall down. If something happens, have a cry or a bit of a vent, whatever you need, then pick yourself up, revaluate and go at it in a different method. Learn how to solve problems and remember this is a challenge and a failure is not a reflection of you as an individual.

Grow and learn from it.

Bite sized pieces You might have a vision of conquering the world, but it’s not going to happen overnight. Even the most experienced entrepreneurs get freaked out by their dreams, but they know to break it down and attack the most important things, one bite at a time. You might need to “eat an elephant”, as they say, to accomplish your long term goals, but you don’t have to eat it in one sitting. One thing at a time, one goal at a time, one win at a time. You can do this!

A gem from Harv Eker I was watching some extended interviews from The Abundance Factor (if you haven’t seen this you definitely should its amazing, click here) and Harv Eker said four words that have been my life saver for the last few days. Whenever your brain starts bringing that fear and overwhelm into you, he said don’t get into a conversation with it because you will lose. Instead he said to say to it, “Thank you for sharing” and then go back to whatever it is you are doing at the time. Acknowledge the thought that is unsupportive to your goal and then let it flow out of your brain.

Sooo……

Sometimes sadly the only thing standing between us and greatness is… us! Take responsibility for your brain and your efforts. Living your passion and your dream should be fun. Don’t talk yourself out of it. In 2016 there are so many tools and opportunities for you to live your dream. If you have a strong enough reason to do what it is that you want then you can push through to the other side. Seek the help of others, don’t do it on your own. This whole independent woman who does things on her own is silly, delegate what you can and learn from people who have already done it. Build your team and get them behind you!

I am living my own dream, building a business that I love and that drives me to wake up feeling so excited and amazed. I am conquering myself and I’d like to share that opportunity with you. If you are interested then please click here and you can learn more.

Take Care.
