The human mind is a powerful, untamed force shaping our experiences, choices, and reality. Yet, most of what happens in our minds operates behind the scenes—in the subconscious. The subconscious is like hidden software, constantly running in the background. It doesn’t just influence what we think, it is what we think.
But here’s the truth: you can learn to rewire it, like programming a new version of yourself. Whether it's deep-seated emotional patterns or old beliefs that don’t serve you anymore, there are practical ways to tap into that power and make a shift. Let's explore how to get in tune with your subconscious and start directing it toward your ideal version.
1. Listen to Subliminals
Subliminals use specific sounds, like binaural beats or isochronic tones, to guide your brain into a hypnotic state, where it's more open to receiving new ideas. These tones slow your brainwaves, making it easier for positive affirmations, hidden beneath the sounds, to bypass your conscious mind. This process helps to gently reprogram your subconscious without you even realizing it.
Want more confidence? There’s a subliminal for that. Trying to release old fears? Same thing. By listening to these sounds, picture what you want, feel as if you already have it, and that vision will be imprinted on your subconscious. Start incorporating subliminals into your daily routine and let the new messages quietly reshape your mindset.
2. Act Different on a Daily Basis
To rewire your brain, you’ve got to break up the routine. Think about this: your mind loves patterns. So, when you start changing your behavior, even in small ways, you send a message to your subconscious that change is happening. This isn’t about some huge life overhaul—it’s the little things.
Take a different route to work, try a new hobby, or even just change your morning routine. When you mix things up, your subconscious starts to pay attention. It begins to question old patterns and beliefs, allowing for new ones to take their place.
3. Emotional Reprogramming
Emotions live deep in your subconscious. They’re like the soundtrack of your mind, always playing in the background. So, if you’ve got old, negative emotional patterns—maybe tied to trauma or past experiences—it’s time to do some emotional reprogramming.
This could mean using techniques like shadow work, meditation, or even deep breathing exercises to release pent-up emotions. The goal is to replace those negative emotional loops with feelings of safety, love, and abundance. When your emotions shift, your reality starts to shift too.
4. Rewrite Limiting Beliefs
Limiting beliefs are stories we’ve been telling ourselves, often for years. "I’m not good enough." "I’ll never have what I want." These stories live in your subconscious and act like invisible walls, blocking you from your potential.
To change these beliefs, first, become aware of them. Then, rewrite them. It’s that simple. Every time you catch yourself thinking something negative or limiting, flip the script. For example, if your limiting belief is "I’ll never succeed," rewrite it as "I am worthy of success." Do this consistently and watch how your reality begins to reflect your new narrative.
5. Change Your Self-Talk
The way you talk to yourself matters. Every time you tell yourself, 'I can’t,' or 'I’m not enough,' your subconscious takes that as fact. The mind doesn’t know the difference between real and imagined thoughts—it only knows what you tell it. So, in a way, you're casting spells onto your life with the words you put out.
So, if you want to change your subconscious mind, start by shifting your inner dialogue. Replace negative self-talk with positive, empowering affirmations. Tell yourself, “I am capable,” “I am deserving,” and “I am strong.” Over time, your subconscious will take this on as truth, and you’ll see your life change accordingly.
6. Surround Yourself with Positive Input
Your environment feeds your mind, both consciously and subconsciously. Who and what you surround yourself with matters. If you’re constantly exposed to negativity—whether that’s toxic people, social media, or just the wrong energy—your subconscious mind absorbs that.
To change your subconscious programming, fill your life with positivity. Whether it’s listening to motivational podcasts, reading uplifting books, or spending time with people who inspire you, make sure you’re surrounding yourself with energy that matches the life you’re trying to create.
Mythology Behind the Subconscious Mind
Here’s the thing—psychology and mythology go hand in hand. Think of your subconscious as the underworld in ancient myths. It’s that hidden place, like in the stories of the Greek god Hades, where powerful forces dwell. Most people avoid it, afraid to explore the unknown parts of themselves. But it’s in those depths that transformation occurs.
In Jungian psychology, Carl Jung spoke of the shadow self, which represents the parts of ourselves we’re unconscious of or afraid to face. The more you deny your shadow, the more it controls your life from the background. But when you embrace it, you become whole. The subconscious is the mythological underworld, and by journeying into it—whether through emotional work or breaking limiting beliefs—you emerge stronger, wiser, and more in control of your life’s narrative.
Bringing It All Together
When you start working with your subconscious mind instead of against it, you become a powerful co-creator of your life. It’s about more than just thinking positive thoughts—it’s about rewiring your inner world, one belief, one habit, and one emotion at a time.
Remember: Your subconscious mind is always listening. Start feeding it messages of empowerment, joy, and possibility, and watch how your external world transforms to match your new internal reality. You’ve got all the tools inside of you to become who you’re destined to be—just start tapping in.
