How To Program Your Subconscious Mind To Form New Habits?

Why are most of us not living the life we always wanted? Why are we not truly content with ourselves? Want to become our best version, but not really breaking the habit of being yourself?


Have you ever wondered?


Well, it can be mainly because of the habits we want to inculcate in our lives but are not able to. As they say, your present habits determine your future! We try with all our willpower and motivation but fail to form new healthy habits and how to be at peace with yourself


Not to mention, when it comes to the manifestation of your thoughts and feelings, your subconscious mind is the boss. Yes! It makes or breaks things in a massive manner. 


We cannot achieve success in our life without having our subconscious minds aligned with the desired actions. In this whole tussle of the conscious and subconscious mind, almost 95% of the time, the latter wins, and how!


Because….


Your subconscious mind is the most powerful. It processes some of the deeply involved functions in our body without us realizing it, like our digestion, breathing, and more. It influences our biology like nothing else ever can.  


That’s why,  one must know how to program their subconscious mind to serve in that very direction of habit.Well, you can also give a quick read to: Breaking the habit of being yourself!


So, how can one program its subconscious mind to form new habits?


Start small! Make small goals!


Yes! It’s the most effective way!


For instance, you want to build a habit of daily reading. So, don’t go for fifty books initially, rather start from only one book at a time. That too, just read a few pages a day. 


Slowly, but gradually, you start enjoying the process, and your mind also gets used to this habit, making it easy for you to sustain that. 


Besides, the human brain is built in a way that it gets bored very easily while doing something repetitively. And, as we all know- what is a habit? Repetition of similar tasks without much effort! Thus, it will be crucial for you to find what genre of books you really enjoy so that daily reading becomes your second nature. 


Also, proceeding further in this flurry of making small changes, one must deeply comprehend the different facets of habit building. 


What is a habit?

How do habits form?

How long does it take to break a habit?


By finding the answers to these questions specifically for yourself, it will become so effortless for you to sustain new habits. 


Eventually, it’s about finding what you truly love doing and want to invest your time in. 


And, believe me, it’s worth your time and effort!

A Self-Important Life

  “Modesty is the colour of virtue.” The essence of this saying by Diogenes, a Greek philosopher, has likely shaped our growing-up years. Indeed, to be modest and humble was the very definition of a talented person. The more intelligent one was the more modest one was expected to be. Like anything though, modesty is best had when served in moderate doses. Swing too far the other way and we’ll hit the first of the building blocks that make up our personality – self-esteem. Why is self-esteem important? Quoting Brene Brown, an American professor and author, “Authenticity is the daily practice of letting go of who we think we are supposed to be and embracing who we are.” High self-esteem naturally breaks down barriers and allows us to step into vulnerability. And what is vulnerability? Accepting ourselves as we are at any given moment. The more vulnerable we allow ourselves to be, the more authentic we become. And this root of being oneself stems from the value we give ourselves – in...

Can a Narcissist Change?

Narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) is an acute condition that affects people throughout their lives. Narcissism can impact all areas of one’s life, including work, relationships and self-development. Personality disorders such as this one can be challenging to treat. The challenge is more difficult when people do not acknowledge that they have a problem. That being said, with intention, effort and commitment, it is possible for narcissists to change. If you are wondering what does a narcissist want from a relationship , it will help to first understand what narcissistic personality disorder is. NPD is a complex condition characterized by grandiose behaviours, an overinflated ego and little empathy for others. Like all other mental health issues, personality disorders too lie on a spectrum. Therefore, for milder cases, change may come easier.   Narcissists may want to change their behaviour when they are in a new relationship. If they have insight into their own patterns, they...

Finding Your Purpose: A Spiritual Tale

  The bell tolled loudly and she came awake with a start. Ugh! Every morning! Would there ever come a point when the sound would not startle her out of sleep? It tolled each morning. The head priest or Swamiji as everyone called him would rise at 3:30 AM promptly, bathe, dress, apply his tilak and make his way to the temple at 4:15 AM to chant. The Vishu Sahasranama and 30 slokas from the Ramcharitmanasa took him 85 minutes. At 5:40 AM, he’d put the texts away, slowly rise and make his way to the big bell near the east end of the temple. Grasping the old, frayed rope, he’d take a deep breath and begin to tug – dong! dong! dong! 108 times it tolled slowly as Mythili would shuffle out of bed and onto her yoga mat. Taking long breaths, she would gently stretch out her body before heading to the bathroom to brush, bathe and perform her ablutions. In the final 15 dongs , she’d begin counting down as she raced to dress and pull her thick hair into a ponytail that fell past her waist...
