Reprogramming Your Mind: The #1 Secret to Transform Your Life

Don't forget to watch the video in the end of the article!

‘Reprogramming Your Mind: The #1 Secret to Transform Your Life’, the video we are about to explore, presents the idea that in order to transform your life and create the breakthrough you seek you have to first reprogram the subconscious mind. This article will examine the central themes presented by the video, while emphasising the underlying practical method that can help the viewer to achieve life-changing results by uncovering what is blocking him or her from unlimited success.

Understanding the Subconscious Mind

The subconscious mind holds the key to why we think and behave the way we do, and, subsequently, to why we live the way we do. Negative thought patterns and limiting beliefs – many years in the making – can send us through life on autopilot. The difference, suggests the video, is not in obliterating all that’s come before, but in establishing new, more empowering beliefs, which can lead to a complete overhaul.

The subconscious is a computer program running in the background, beneath the shingles of conscious life – and it’s using information that is actually very old to help write the script of your life. What if you had a chance to actually start influencing that process? There are things you can do that make a difference.

Techniques for Reprogramming Your Mind

1. Cognitive Restructuring

Cognitive restructuring aims to identify and replace negative thoughts. Viewers are instructed to notice ‘core beliefs’, such as negative thoughts about oneself, practise distinguishing thoughts from facts, and to replace negative thoughts with positive rephrasing. In other words, on days when you think: ‘I am not good enough’, you remind yourself: ‘I am capable and deserving of achievement.’ I [the author] remember using this technique, for example, to help my ex-husband, a recovering alcoholic, counter negative assumptions and habits about drinking and substitute them with more positive thoughts and actions.

This isn’t just wishful thinking, it’s a deliberate strategy for rewiring your brain, replacing negative neural pathways with new, healthier ones. With each utterance or self-choreographed dance that you use to respond to a negative thought, you re-enforce your new, prosocial brain patterns, and gradually change the ways that your brain will respond.

2. Visualization

Visualising is talked about in the video. Psychological studies show that visualising allows bolstering the motivational centres of the brain. For instance, one might close his eyes, and visualise the goals and how to achieve them for a couple of minutes a day. Our brain begins to wire in new neural pathways in accordance with what’s being built, or identified, as images fire repeatedly. Not only does it help us relax, but it also acts as a form of mind-scripting.

Visualisation works because the brain often can’t tell the difference between an imagined experience and the actuality of that experience. The more detailed a visualisation of your goals is, the more potent it can be as an internal blueprint for making decisions and taking actions that move towards those goals.

3. Affirmations

One effective tool is daily affirmations, where you list positive statements that are important to you, and repeat them frequently so that they sink into the subconscious and become an integral part of your perspective, helping you develop a more positive self-image and a more positive view of life.

Your affirmations should be expressed in the present tense, positive and specific: for instance, rather than, ‘I will be successful,’ say, ‘I am successful in all areas of my life as I achieve all that I desire.’ Many individuals feel uncomfortable using the present tense, instead preferring to say things like, ‘I’ll find work,’ ‘I’ll make more friends,’ or ‘I’ll get on better with others.’ However, by using the present tense in your affirmations, you make them sound more immediate and real.

4. Taking Action

Central to reprogramming is action. In one of the video’s many strong visuals, after paring back their beliefs until they’re nearly invisible, he has Maria draw two versions of her future. On one page of her notebook, she draws her future like before; a collection of sad and empty squares, but on the reverse page she pictures a future full of smiling Sadaques. ‘Now, what is missing on this one,’ he says, pointing to the reverse page. ‘Take away.’ Maria lines out the empty squares. ‘Now, only put in nice actions,’ he says. ‘Good actions.’ He gives Maria examples of ‘nice actions’ such as watching her weight, practising yoga, working out, walking her new dog and visiting her relatives more often. To date, almost every self-help book I’ve read has also been centred on this principle of positive action. It reinforces new thoughts in the brain. When people act on their own behalf, they are conditioning their mind to expect success. This theme ties in with the old axiom ‘fake it till you make it’. If you can act as though you’re already enjoying greater happiness, then your mind and your behaviour will eventually tailor themselves around that new role.

Action is the bridge between thought and reality. Each step you take towards your goals serves to ‘fire’ the new beliefs, making the outcome more real. Eventually, the new beliefs start to fire more consistently, simply because you are putting in the work to make it happen.
