Wake Up Call! It’s Time to Awaken the Real YOU!

From time to time I think we can all use a wake-up call. Especially when life becomes dull and meaningless. Some of us go from one day to the next in the same mundane routine, with no room for fun or happiness. Days become years, and years become decades, and one might look back and see opportunities that were squandered. What do you have on the back burner of your life that you want to do? What is waiting in the wings that can bring you joy and happiness? And the big question is, what is stopping you from living a life of fulfillment and joy? It’s time for a wake-up call and to discover the real you! It’s time to see an aspect of your life you may not be aware of. Let me clarify what I mean in this article and look at some positive thoughts and manifesting methods that can transform your life! Let’s awaken the real you to reality.

The real you

It might sound crazy, but there is a dual power within that drives your life. You may think that you have full control of your life, but the stark reality is that there is something within that is driving your life in a direction that you might not want to go in. That dual inner power is your subconscious mind and inner child. All of your past experiences, traumas, and feelings are locked away in your subconscious mind. Think about this for a moment. To be clear, you can’t consciously access this part of your brain unless you do some subcortical brain work. However, your life is ruled by your subconscious mind 95% of the time! That’s right, all of your decisions and day-to-day routine are directed by your subconscious mind. This is a fact. So the question is, how do you wake up that part of yourself to steer it in the direction you want your life to go? The next question is: how much trauma and bad experiences have you had in the past that are driving your life today? To make it more complicated, the inner child is part of this whole subconscious dilemma.

Example

In order to be more clear about this, let’s look at these examples:

I will never forget this incident, that is an example of fears of abandonment from childhood that are embedded in the subconscious mind. I was walking my dog, Luke, at the time, and there was a white SUV stopped at the corner for the stop sign. The window was open, and I could hear this man screaming at someone on the phone, saying:

“You are never home; we don’t eat together anymore; you don’t cook; you are such a witch” (although he used the b word), and he was berating her.

I am sure that the more he yelled and became angry, the more she retreated and wanted to stay away from him. It was a vicious circle. And I thought to myself, All he wants to say to her is that he is lonely, feels abandoned, and would like to spend more time with her. But I suspect his inner child, feeling hurt and being triggered by her pulling away, is setting off his fear of abandonment issues from his childhood, so he is lashing out with intense anger, reverting to the way he behaved as a child. He was trying to get his needs met, and she was pulling away, so his anger got out of control. The fear of abandonment starts with fear and morphs into intense anger.

Another example is road rage. As you are driving along, perhaps someone dangerously cuts you off, and you go from fear to rage in an instant. The rage is intense and comes out of left field. What is happening at this point is that your inner child is reverting to a time of feeling fear and is triggered by the danger it feels when the car cuts you off. The inner child in turn is erupting with rage. This rage is what is within you that is lashing out in times of danger.

Subconscious work

The subconscious mind is typically embedded with fears, anger, and neediness from the past. There are several ways to do some work on reprogramming the subconscious mind to become a positive state of being. One way is called brainspotting. Brainspotting is a technique done by a professional therapist that is able to clear away parts of trauma from the past so it does not affect your life today, as I just outlined. This is especially helpful for those with PTSD. However, not everyone wants to go through a therapist to clear the channels.

You could also get a life-coach to help you reprogram the subconscious mind. This is a very good option.

Another way would be to offset the negative subconscious thoughts with positive ones. There are several ways to do this that I will outline in the next section.

Positive tools

Visualization and affirmations are a couple of ways to reprogram the subconscious mind. As you are falling asleep, you are going from a conscious to a subconscious to an unconscious sleep state. Many experts agree that this unconscious sleep state is where we can reprogram the subconscious mind. Let’s say you want to get rid of anger from your subconscious mind. You do that by offsetting it with kindness, love and peace.

Here are the steps:

1. Fall asleep with one image. If you want to be less angry, put an image in your head of you being kind, peaceful, and loving. Love is a strong emotion that offsets many negative ones. You want to keep one image in your mind of you in a loving state as you drift off to sleep.

2. The feelings are what changes the subconscious mind from anger to love. Let me repeat that. The feelings are what changes the subconscious mind. So you want to resonate with loving, kind feelings as you fall asleep, because these feelings will resonate in your unconscious mind for 8 hours. This is a powerful time for changing the subconscious.

3. You want to do this at least for 30 days. You will find that the next day you will feel more loving and wake up quite happy after feeding your subconscious with loving thoughts for 8 hours.

Remember, your subconscious mind drives your life 95% of the time, so it makes sense to always feed it positive rather than negative thoughts and feelings.

Manifesting your goals

Manifesting your goals is another aspect of using positive visualizations and feelings to reprogram the subconscious mind. Let’s go one step further with this, and let’s say you want to connect with your soulmate. You would fall asleep with one image of having met your soulmate. You fall asleep with the feelings of how it would feel to be in a relationship with your soulmate. You would feel loved, secure, elated and happy. You want to resonate with these feelings as you drift off to sleep. Again, you would do this for 30 days and see how that works for connecting with your soulmate in your awakened world.

Say you want to lose weight or end an addiction. You can use the same technique as described above for this or anything else you want to manifest in your world. Remember, your subconscious mind drives your life 95% of the time. Feeding it future goals and dreams is a smart way to bring these dreams into your waking world.

In closing, it is important to wake up and recognize the part of you that drives your life most of the time. The real you is buried in many aspects of your past. You want to live your best life, and in order to do that, it is important to get rid of the baggage from the past of resentments, anger, fears, and neediness. There are many layers of negativity from the past that can be cleared away one thought, one feeling, and one day at a time and get you to a point of living your best life.

How to Transform Your Life with Your Thoughts - Rachel Devine

Our thoughts are more powerful than we can truly imagine. Ancient wisdom and modern science confirm that thoughts wield tremendous power to shape our lives and world. By mastering your mindset and programming your subconscious beliefs, you unlock the ability to manifest your ideal existence. However, as a society, we don’t harness this incredible inner power, and some of us grow into mediocre existences. Let’s take a look at the power of your mind and how it can help manifest your dreams into reality. Let’s look at how to transform your life with your thoughts.

Powerful thoughts

According to psychology trailblazer William James, “The greatest discovery of my generation is that human beings can alter their lives by altering their attitudes of mind.” Our interpretations and beliefs surrounding circumstances drive outcomes more than events themselves.

The power of our thoughts has the ability to transform our lives into one of purpose and meaning. The key is to feed the mind positive, motivational thoughts. This will lay the groundwork for success in any area. Afterall, I think at the core of everyone is a desire to live life on purpose. It all starts with the power of your thoughts.

Subconscious programming

Over 95% of our behaviors operate from the subconscious, according to experts. This is an astounding revelation. Our subconscious mind holds all our past experiences, traumas and feelings. The conscious mind only controls about 5% of our life. Therefore, most of our lives are going in the direction of past thoughts and feelings. However, you can change the subconscious mind to a positive one. This means deliberately impressing empowering and positive beliefs into your subconscious mind to create a successful and purposeful life.

Joseph Murphy author of The Power of Your Subconscious Mind said, “Whatever your conscious mind assumes and believes to be true, your subconscious mind will accept and bring to pass. Believe in good fortune, divine guidance, right action, and all the blessings of life.”

Therefore, it is crucial to feed your subconscious mind positive thoughts. The more you focus on lack, dread, or fear, the more lack, dread, and fearful situations will come into your life. On the other hand, if you constantly feed your mind positive, motivational thoughts, your life will go in positive, motivational directions. This is the manifesting law of attraction premise. What we put out into the vast universe through thoughts and words comes back to us, like we are in an echo chamber.

Manifesting method

Neville Goddard was a genius in the field of subconscious mind. He said this powerful quote in his book, Feeling is the Secret.

“The conscious generates ideas and impresses these ideas on the subconscious; the subconscious receives ideas and gives form and expression to them. Ideas are impressed on the subconscious through the medium of feelings. No idea can be impressed on the subconscious until it is felt, but once felt – be it good, bad, or indifferent, - it must be expressed.” (By the subconscious into form).

The most powerful time to impress upon the subconscious mind is at night, just before you fall asleep. Imagine one image in your mind of what you want to manifest, and fall asleep with the feelings. For instance, if you want to meet your soulmate, envision one image with your soulmate already in your life and fall asleep with the feelings of love, security, happiness, etc. Your motivation thoughts before bedtime is the key. It is recommended to do this every night for 30 days to manifest your dreams into reality.

Manifesting tools

Commit to rituals that keep your conscious mind filled with positive affirmations, visualizations, inspiration, and mindfulness. Meditation, expressing gratitude, reading uplifting works, repeating mantras—these habits sustain focus on creating your ideal life.

Affirmations are positive words that will impress your subconscious. Write a few on a sticky note and post them where you can view them daily. Visualizations are a perfect way to empower you. Just visualize the outcome you want in a meditation. For instance, if you want to lose weight, imagine yourself slim. Or if you want to stop an addiction, envision yourself free from the addiction. Invoke feelings into your visualization because it is the feelings of the thoughts that penetrate the subconscious mind.

Gratitude is always at the center of success. Always resonate with being grateful for what you have rather than complaining about what you don’t have. Remember, you will attract what you are resonating with.

In conclusion, with this enormous awareness, you can shift to a different way of thinking. Positive thinking, visualizations, affirmations, and being grateful are tools in order to create the life of your dreams. The life you imagine through empowering thoughts, energizing beliefs, mindfulness, and repetition grows ever more concrete. Never underestimate the magic within your mind.

And this great quote by Norman Vincent Peale sums it up beautifully, “Change your thoughts and you change your world.”
