3 Steps to Unleash Your Subconscious Power for Ultimate Goal Success

3 Steps to Unleash Your powerful Subconscious for Ultimate Goal Success

Have you ever wondered why you do the things you do, think the way you think, or react in certain ways to life’s challenges? The answer lies within your subconscious mind, a powerful ally waiting to be harnessed for your personal growth and transformation. In this blog, we’ll dig into the concept of the subconscious mind and its influence on your behavior, beliefs, and perceptions. You will learn a few easy steps to harness this hidden power to your own profound success, happiness, and fulfillment in your life.

The Subconscious Mind: Your Powerful Ally

Your subconscious mind is like the silent partner in your life’s journey. It operates beneath the surface, quietly influencing your thoughts, actions, and decisions, often without you even realizing it. Unlike your conscious mind, which is rational and analytical, your subconscious mind is emotional and intuitive. Its language is imagination and emotion. It’s the part of your mind where your beliefs, memories, habits, and desires reside.

Transforming Behavior, Shaping Beliefs, and Igniting Powerful Beliefs

The subconscious mind plays an important role in shaping who you are. It stores your past experiences, both positive and negative, and uses them as a reference for your current actions and reactions. For example, if you had a traumatic experience as a child, your subconscious mind may still hold onto the fear associated with that event, causing you to react strongly to similar situations as an adult. 

‘Can you believe it…we all journey through our adult life based on the beliefs and perceptions created upon us when we were children’ 

Moreover, your subconscious mind houses your core beliefs about yourself and the world. These beliefs, often formed during childhood, can be limiting or empowering. If you believe you’re not good enough or that success is beyond your reach, these deep-seated beliefs will become self-fulfilling prophecies, holding you back, actually sabotaging you, from your true potential.

Your perceptions is your reality 

Your subconscious mind also filters your perceptions of reality. It selects, from all the information available,only what reinforces your beliefs and perspectives and shields all the others. If your beliefs and perspectives of yourself are less than positive, this will create a feedback loop that keeps you stuck in certain patterns of thought and behavior. 

Not to fear:there is a solution

Unleash Your Hidden Potential: A 3-Step Journey to Empowerment

Now, here’s the exciting part: your subconscious mind is a treasure trunk full of untapped potential. Once you understand how it works and learn to communicate with it, you can reshape your thoughts, beliefs, and actions to align with your deepest desires and goals.

Step 1: Mindfulness Meditation – to move yourself into a calm space where you can become present to your subconscious mind. Mindfulness is easy, let me explain. Allow yourself to be in a safe and comfortable place. Then begin to become aware of your breath. Whatever that awareness brings to you. It could be your breathing rhythm, or the air moving through your nose or the muscles flexing…doesn’t matter what it is as long as your awareness is on your breathing. If your mind wonders, and it most likely will, bring it back to your breathing. That’s it…wasn’t that easy?…. Now that you are relaxed…

Step 2: Visualize your goal or desire. While you are in this relaxed state, see you being, succeeding, living your desired life, whatever that is.  Watch it as if it is on a screen in front of you and you are in the audience. What does it look like? What do you hear? What does it feel like? What emotions are present? Tap into the emotions. Let them grow and develop.  Allow the scene to play out in front of you. As you are doing this you are imprinting upon your subconscious mind…..CHANGE. You are letting your subconscious mind know this is what you want…Expect… actually. Remember, this is the language of the subconscious mind.  You are communicating with your powerful ally.  

Step 3: Affirmations -help reprogram the subconscious mind by flooding it with positive messages and images that counteract your negative beliefs. Sometimes I have an affirmation that I have chosen for my goal or desire. Other times, I create it when I am visualizing my goal or desire during mindful meditation. The affirmation is born out of the negative belief that pops up during my visualization of the goal or desire.

For example, quick side story:

I was preparing for an exam and was following the steps above. While I was in mindful meditation, I was watching the exam in my mind. It was a skills presentation exam, not written. As I was watching the exam, suddenly the exam proctor began being rude and intimidating.

Boom, this was the hidden resistence, the subconconsious limitation I have been fighting. It just popped out as I was imaging the exam.

Using my Questions to counter the fears

I began to counter all the emotions and fears with questions like: what is the worst thing that could happen if I fail? This exam is like a presentation isn’t it? I have been trained to handle unruly people during presentations haven’t I? What could I say to myself to counter these negative thoughts?

Let go and have fun

This affirmation immediately appeared in my mind. ‘Let go and have fun’ I knew that if I could let go of the results ie. passing or failing and I could just have fun, I would remain relaxed allowing my mind to stay clear, focused and creative.

I used this affirmation during the exam prep and throughout the exam.  The result….I passed.  This is how powerful this process can be. (read the whole story here: )

If there are any negative pre-programs that exist, they will appear during this time and you can eliminate them easily with affirmations that you create on the spot, just as I did with the example above. .  That is what makes these 3 steps so powerful.  

Your Road to Your Ultimate Success

Understanding and harnessing the power of your subconscious mind is a journey, not a destination. It requires patience, practice, and a commitment to self-discovery. But the rewards are immeasurable. Practice these 3 steps daily and repeat the affirmation(s) as much as you can throughout your day.  Constant reinforcement will create the change you desire.

By reprogramming limiting beliefs, releasing emotional baggage, and aligning your subconscious mind with your conscious goals, you can achieve profound personal transformation. Success, happiness, and fulfillment become not just possibilities but your new reality.

Your subconscious mind is your greatest ally. Embrace its potential with these 3 Steps, and watch as it helps you unlock the life you’ve always dreamed of living.

Hi, so just a little about me.  I became a Reiki Master/Teacher about 12 years ago when I stumbled on the power of the mind and hypnosis. My first encounter with hypnosis was in an office chair as I was leaning against the wall. It lasted only 20min and my intent was to remove a knee jerk panic reaction to floating on my back in a pool.  It worked. I went from hanging on to the edge of the pool, panicked every time my feet left the pool floor to swimming on my back. 50 years of fear gone in one 20 min hypnosis session.  I had to learn hypnosis and add it to my existing Reiki practice.  Does hypnosis work? Absolutely, without a doubt!

3 Steps: Worry Less & Live With Confidence

3 Steps to Worry Less and Live Confidently

Life is a journey, filled with moments of joy and, at times, challenges that can leave us feeling overwhelmed. Worry and stress often sneak in, stealing our peace of mind and shaking our confidence. But here’s the good news—you can turn those daily worries into a lifestyle of calm and empowerment. I know. I used to be controlled by high general anxiety. Now, I use practical easy techniques that restore my peace, my confidence and my control in any situation.  

Here are three easy, actionable steps you can take to create a life filled with peace, confidence, and harmony.

First Technique: Cultivate Mindfulness and Present-Moment Awareness

Mindfulness is like a gentle pause button for life. Mindfulness is so powerful in my life.  It allows you to fully experience the present moment, free from judgment or worry. By practicing mindfulness, you can calm the mental chatter that often fuels stress and anxiety. Mindfulness is so easy and natural to use and only takes a moment to be effective.

Try This:

  • Mindful Breathing: Set aside just a few minutes daily to focus on your breath. Close your eyes, take a deep inhale through your nose, and into the core of your belly. Then exhale slowly. Then begin to breathe naturally. Feel the sensation of the air as it flows in and out. If your mind wanders (and it will!), gently guide it back to your breath without judgment.
  • Body Scan Meditation: Start from your toes and move slowly up to the top of your head, noticing areas of tension. With each exhale, imagine releasing any tightness or discomfort. When I first tried this, I was surprised at how much tension I’d been holding onto. Releasing it felt incredibly freeing.

I often practice these two steps together. With practice they can be done in moments. The benefits are amazing.

  • Gratitude Journal: Gratitude has a way of shifting our focus to life’s blessings. Before bed, jot down three things you’re grateful for. It’s a simple practice that rewires your brain for positivity and helps you fall asleep with a peaceful heart.

Second Technique: Use Positive Visualization and Self-Talk to Empower Yourself

Your thoughts shape your reality. What you tell yourself—those inner whispers—becomes the narrative of your life. By consciously replacing negative self-talk with supportive and uplifting messages, you can nurture peace and confidence from within. I love to use affirmations with visualization and emotion.

  • Positive Affirmations: Create affirmations that speak directly to your worries. For example, if you often feel anxious about making mistakes, try saying, “I got this!” “I can do this!” Repeat these affirmations as often as needed, out loud or silently, to reinforce their truth.

  • Visualization: Picture your ideal self—calm, confident, and capable. See yourself handling challenges with ease and grace. Then, ask yourself, How would this feel? Or like this, ‘if this positive visual scenario had an emotion or feeling, what would it be”? Allow that feeling to grow and blossom within you. Pair this visualization with an affirmation for an even more powerful impact.

I love using affirmations with positive visualization with emotion. These are my ‘go-to’ techniques to change any worry into an empowering awesome positive reality.

 Third Technique: Build Healthy Habits for a Stress-Free Life

True transformation comes from the habits we nurture daily. Incorporating healthy routines can support your journey toward a calm and confident life.

  • Regular Movement: Exercise isn’t just for the body—it’s a gift for your mind. Whether it’s a walk, yoga, or even gardening, find something you enjoy that keeps you moving. Physical activity releases endorphins, nature’s stress relievers.
  • Mindful Eating: Nourish your body with foods that support your well-being. Pay attention to what you eat, and avoid overloading on sugar or caffeine, which can heighten anxiety. Treat your body like it deserves the best—because it does.
  • Healthy Boundaries: Saying “no” is an act of self-care. Protect your energy by setting boundaries that honor your needs, whether it’s in relationships or at work. 

Remember

Change doesn’t happen overnight, and that’s okay. Be kind to yourself as you take these steps toward a more peaceful and confident life. Start small and stay consistent. Over time, you’ll notice those worries fading, replaced by a stronger, calmer, and more empowered version of you.

You’re not alone on this journey. If you ever feel stuck or want guidance, I’m here to help. Let’s walk this path together. 

Conclusion:

Breaking free from daily worry and stress is possible with consistent effort and a willingness to embrace positive change. By cultivating mindful awareness, shifting negative self-talk, and establishing healthy habits, you can transform your life into one characterized by peace and confidence. Remember that change takes time, so be patient and compassionate with yourself throughout this transformative journey. Start small, stay committed, and watch as your worries melt away, replaced by an empowered and serene version of yourself

Hi, let me share a bit about myself. Around 13 years ago, I discovered the incredible potential of the mind, body and spirit. I was introduced to Reiki, a powerful energy healing system. My initial experience with hypnosis occurred when I was sitting in an office chair, casually leaning against the wall with the intent of removing a lifelong fear.  In this 20 minute session my lifelong fear, panic really, of floating on my back in a pool disappeared. In one session, my fear was gone.

That led me to become certified in hypnotherapy through HMI (Hypnosis Motivation Institute) an accredited college of hypnotherapy. Now, as a Reiki master and hypnotherapist,  I am excited to offer Reiki infused hypnotherapy for your ultimate success.

I am dedicated to empowering my clients by assisting them in uncovering and harnessing their innate healing abilities. By tapping into this source of power, they can lead a purposeful, mindful, and harmonious life. Through the powerful combination of Reiki and hypnosis, my clients are able to establish an intuitive connection and experience holistic healing.

Power Journaling: Imagine the Benefits

Journaling is a powerful tool to clear limiting beliefs and achieve success

The benefits of a power journaling practice are many. There are times when I just sit and write about whatever comes to mind just to clear my thoughts and then there are other times when I have a focus, an intention. In every instance of power journaling, the same is true. I just write what comes to mind.  After reading this blog , you too may just say , ‘power journaling: imagine the benefits’

Just write what comes to mind, let it flow

There are really no rules for power journaling except that to write what comes to mind. There are some suggested practices to journal writing and that just comes from experience but really there is no hard and fast way except to write what comes to mind. In Fact, I am using power journaling to write this blog. I have tried to write it several times and just couldn’t get it started. So, I am just, right now, writing what is coming to mind with the intention of writing a blog about power journaling. 

The really only rule to power journaling is one just writes what comes to mind no matter what comes to mind just keep writing. Do not stop to punctuate or correct grammar. Just keep writing every thought even if it is repeated.  Do not stop the flow. That is really the only hard rule: everything else is a suggestion based on experience. Regarding this blog, after the power journal session, I will edit.

Some suggestions for a great session

Set a timer and an intention or focus.  

Set a timer for 10 min. That seems to be a common time amongst the power journalists. This is a time that works for me. It is long enough to get your thoughts down and not so long to seem daunting. Sometimes I go longer and sometimes it is shorter.  Since the human person has a bazillion thoughts a minute, it shouldn’t be hard to keep writing, so just keep writing.

Setting an intention keeps your thoughts focused on the issue you want to examine. That is important for self discovery, otherwise you will be everywhere. Sometimes, I just keep writing the intention over and over or may go back to it during the session. 

Power Journaling, imagining the benefits…

I have uncovered lot’s of cool stuff about myself. Like memories that have created habits and behaviors that I no longer want. Why do I act this way or that around this person or situation?    Want to know something about yourself, power journal it. Have you ever asked yourself why you want to do something? For example, losing weight. Why do I continue to self sabotage my weight loss goals? I don’t know, is usually the first answer. Why? Because, it is locked in my subconscious mind and I don’t know how to access it.

So, I power journal it and let my thoughts flow regarding that intention. Somewhere in the writing process, my subconscious mind is accessed and ‘poof’ the reason jumps into my mind as a thought and now it is on paper. Amazing, that is why I call it power journaling. It just happens like that.

These reasons or memories, locked away in our subconscious mind,are not always accessible to our conscious mind. Yet these hidden memories have created a habit or behavior that is no longer desired.

Here is the true power in power journaling. 

As you write about your thoughts, something happens to the conscious mind. It just seems to go to sleep and the door to your subconscious mind opens. Without any real effort on your part, the real belief about your intention just pops on the page. So much can be accessed about behaviors, habits, memories and true beliefs though power journaling. It truly is the doorway to your subconscious mind.

What happens now? 

The real reason has just popped on the page. Now what?  Sometimes the trigger memory appears, sometimes it is just the presenting behavior doesn’t matter how it appears. The important part is now you can now look at it and ask yourself, does this behavior serve me now? Couldn’t I change it to benefit me? And then through your writing, change the behavior. Take back control.

TAKE BACK CONTROL!!!

That is the true and ultimate power in power journaling, taking back control of your life.  Who doesn’t want that?
