8 Subconscious Mind Exercises to Unlock Your Potential
By John Kehoe In this blog post, we will explore eight subconscious mind exercises. These exercises will teach you to tap into the transformative power of your mind and reprogram it to improve your life. The human mind is an intricate labyrinth. Hiding within its depths is immense potential waiting to be harnessed. While conscious thoughts and rationality dominate our daily lives, there exists a realm beyond our immediate awareness—the subconscious mind. In my teachings, I have endeavored to guide my students toward a deeper understanding of this hidden realm, unveiling the vast reservoirs of creativity, intuition, and self-realization that lie within. The subconscious mind is a powerful force that shapes our thoughts, beliefs, and actions. It acts as a reservoir of ingrained patterns and conditioning, often dictating our responses to various life situations. Without further ado, here are eight exercises to reprogram your subconscious mind and unlock its potential. We train you to use and implement these exercises—along with many others—in the 6-week Mind Power course. Table of Contents 1. Practice Awareness and Self-Observation 2. Journal and Reflect 3.

Well, when you begin observing what thoughts you are thinking without even paying attention to them, you will begin to understand the immense power you hold when you begin to mindfully choose what thoughts you think. 2. Journal and Reflect In my online training programs, I ask my students to dedicate time each day to writing down their thoughts and observations. Through writing, you access thoughts, feelings, and dreams that often elude conscious awareness. You discover buried emotions, limiting beliefs, and unexplored aspirations. This process of self-exploration serves as a catalyst for personal growth. It unravels the intricate tapestry of the mind. It gives you a clearer understanding of your true self. Writing your thoughts and observations makes you accountable for the limiting beliefs and behaviours you hold in your subconscious mind. It also allows you to release them and replace them with alternatives that will help you to re-create your reality. 3. Reframe Your Thoughts with Affirmations Once [...]
