Is it possible to reprogram your mind

And the programs even started before we were born. We were programmed already in the uterus. So then I say how will I know what the programs are?

So by definition your life is a printout of your subconscious programs. So the things that you like and that come easily to you in your life are there because you have a program that allows them to be there. In contrast anything that you have to work hard at, put a lot of effort into or anything you have to struggle for to make it happen, is a result of your programs not supporting that. It is because whatever programs your mother and father and family had about relationships is not supportive.

And therefore you never understood why your relationships were not working. So if people want to know what their programs are, I say what in your life comes easily to you is there because you have programs to support that. So you ask where are the troubles in my life? If they exist in relationship for example you know you have to change your beliefs about relationship.

And then you can work on yourself. Thanks for your insight. Good luck Lyn! Have fun, be curious, do it because you truly want to see, because you want to become awake to the parts that are under the surface. Wow Cecilia, thanks for sharing your story. Now that you did, I understand better the steps we need to make a real change in our mind. Thanks to being called to come and watch this show, I now have the tools to start ….

Every so often I have little fears of success come up but I have a specific exercise I created for myself to work through them whenever they pop up. Kathy gave some really amazing ways to work with your sub-concious and I will definitely take those on board and incorporate them into my way of getting through those fears.

Thank you so much for this video, as always they seem to come at the right time. The uncertainty and not knowing what the next step is creates a lot of fear for me. Then I get in a funk and my progress slows down even more… meaning nothing happens. I want to transform my fear into curiosity, adventure, growth but most importantly into Action.

Thank You Marie and Cathy. Make sure you download the free pdf Elisha, so much more there to help you with your action steps! Much love, and you are so welcome, CFC Ph. I think part of it has to do with the example my dad set of work being very draining, consuming, and serious in order to be worthwhile or important. Now when I make a promise to myself, there is still some resistance because of that.

I can honestly say that this time is different because I have better awareness and tools. Also I am much more dedicated to avoiding those situations because I know firsthand how they are truly not good for me. Thanks so much for sharing! This was so amazingly helpful. I just read through the pdf as well, which was great.

I think I have the same problem. A big fear is loss of freedom. The other is loss of control. And then the last is loss of sovereignty. Meaning, the more successful I become, the more public my work will be, and the more subject to criticism I will be, and the less creative control I will get over what I like to do. So many helpful tips here. One thing I know will definitely help is to look for people in my field fashion who are successful and still true and authentic to who they are.

I think this episode is going to prompt some major shifts in me — I can already feel it. Thank you! You said everything I think and yes the loss of control! Annching, You summed up my exact feelings, especially the loss of creative control.

As things are slowly starting to happen, I feel that fear of success getting greater. This video could not have come at a better time. It was just what I needed to hear. The tools I gained here make me feel confident that I can turn that fear of success into excitement about success.

Thank you Marie and Cathy!! Oh my goodness, Dr. Cathy is just absolutely fabulous. So well spoken and beautiful. I could just eat her up! One thing I want is a lot of collaboration work artistically and blog business-ly and being hired more often. My fear is that I will be overwhelmed with all the new appointments. I fear I will disappoint these people, as I have a history of being late and overwhelmed.

I have identifies my fear of success to the a link to the fear of the unknown. Although it is really exciting to go into something new it is also terrifying at the same time. I like the way Marie summed it up as a slow progression into your subconscious that is the real key.

I absolutely love it. Okay here goes;When you wake up in the morn ask yourself the following question;. At the end of the day sit quietly, reflect on your day, and write down in your journal all the miraculous things that happened to you during the day.

You will be amazed and surprised by what unfolded. Wow this one was a doozy! I think I am going to have this video on repeat for the next week. And there are easy to follow steps! Girl- you just rocked my world! Thanks for another fantastic video Marie!

So glad that you found so much value in it! Make sure you download the free pdf, a lot more juice and love in there. Let us know how it goes! All my love, CFC Ph. Great video. I love this video and it really hits home with me. And successful people that are like and loved and close to their loved ones! These are your examples, — find exemplary ones! Much love, CFC Ph. This issue comes in cycles for me.

After a few rounds of this, I started to realize that those are the moments I just need to go for it. Since most of us want success, we just need to go out there and get it.

In my experience, change is often good, so why worry about it? Now, I just do exactly what I want and need to do to create the very best content for my customers and love experiencing the success that follows! I work on my resistance to change to increase my success and I will definitely follow this approach! I love this video, because it has two women who have had a massive impact on my success — love you both xxx. I am totally in love with your film set Marie, so cozy: I love this subject and I really loved the thought that we get to put our own conditions around our success — if I think success means a loss of freedom so then instead asking for a success that comes with the opposite of that.

Find what the belief is that is stopping you and spin it on its head. I have begun the habit in the evening just before drifting off into sleep to handing over any problems, worries or concerns that otherwise would keep me awake throughout the night, to my subconscious, and it never lets me down.

I come up with the most creative, surprising and crazy solutions within 24 hours that are always perfect! Thank you!! This video is a very good eye opener. My fear of success was largely based on my impact on the planet. I am a realtor who also happens to be passioniate about the environment and all living things.

In many ways I was trapped by feeling success in my business comes with… flyers, big elaborate feature sheets and very much adding to my carbon footprint. Also, in a backwards way of thinking I associated having more money with being one who consumes more. This is where I had my biggest mental shift: Success is very much a state of mind gotta give Marie credit, this was during B-School. On the contrary, success is your ability to live life the way you want without compromising your morals.

As a graduate of B-School I feel my mind has opened up on so many new levels and I feel successful knowing that I am approaching my business on my terms. The best part is, my customers notice…. I am creating a mini-recycling army!

To top it all off, my business is better and I am happier doing it the way that makes sense to me. Thanks again Marie and good luck to everyone pursuing their passions and dreams:.

This is a great discussion point, Andrew. And on top of doing your part for the environment by promoting open houses and such online vs in print, I think you ended up with exactly the kind of marketing communication that the next generation of buyers wants.

They only advertised in the local paper, but it would have been much easier for me to follow if all of it was online. Thanks Michelle! I know my business has greatly shifted to an online platform and print media is not only bad for the environment, it is not effective. All of my listings have resulted in sales through web based marketing and people want value added services with easy access to information. I still have a ways to go with updating my website and making it more user friendly but I am glad with the progress thus far.

Thanks for engaging and your comments, all my love, CFC Ph. The problem with trying to MANAGE your mindset in this way is that it implies that there is a problem where none exists. The caller is working from a very simple yet innocent misunderstanding that her happiness, sense of well-being and value as a person come from her outside circumstances and the goals that she achieves.

When we mistakenly believe this, we quite naturally experience fear, stress and overwhelm because we think that there is somewhere for us to get to in order to be happy and fulfilled as a person. As a result, we try and set realistic goals because we think that achieving goals is better than not and we beat ourselves up for not achieving the milestones and targets along the way.

The problem with this model is that is completely inaccurate although it is pervasive, even in the personal development world. The truth is that we live in an inside-out world, where we can ONLY experience our thinking. When we experience anything, from fear and stress to happiness and confidence, it is only ever our thinking. The good news is that thought is transient and meaningless.

When we understand this simple principle, we see that there is nothing to do to break old habits. Trying to manage our thoughts by creating new habits or saying affirmations is like trying to hide from a monster at the bottom of the bed which is an illusion created by the shadow from the light of the moon. It implies that there is a problem a real monster in the outside world which, in fact, only exists in our thinking.

There is no need for affirmations, eg. When we wake up from the illusion that our thinking in this case, that the caller is experiencing a fear of success reflects reality, we suddenly see our lives in a whole new way. When we think clouded, stressed, overwhelmed thoughts, it is purely our clouded thinking. When a coke bottle is fizzed up, there is nothing to do but let it settle.

The same is with our thoughts. When we are in a clearer frame of mind nothing much happening in our thinking — think when you are on holiday , we can begin to see our businesses much like a game — where we can try things out for fun and see where they lead us. There is no fear of success, because success does not exist in the outside world.

We suddenly lose all emotional attachment to a specific outcome. This is liberating! Seeing that we live in an inside-out world will instantly transform your life and how you run your business, and the results you achieve. I absolutely loved this interview. Full of practical information. Thank you so much. I think I actually have the same fear as Shauna. I went to the newest and biggest marketing conferences and mastermind groups, paid even 25, The ONLY 1 recommendation that we ever need, it was given at an amazing weekend conference where there was Bill Gates, Marie Forleo and Jeff Walker among other amazing speakers: this is the shortlink to the video:.

This is my favourite MarieTV episode of all times — I absolutely loved it! Wow, Cathy is super calming and brings a peace about her. I do know that at times, I am afraid of my own success. Thank-you so much Marie and Dr Cathy — this has given me clarity beyond belief. I knew there was a negative connection I was carrying around my corporate life and working from a masculine perspective. This has helped me really understand what is going on and what I actually want from my business.

Thank-you thank-you thank-you!!! You both rock Maree. From the bottom of my heart and the depth of my subconscious, thank you. What a great strategy to start to work with the subconscious mind. Be humble. It is good to remember there are steps to this process. When we get insight, awareness or new information our human nature tends to elevate itself falsely and then lose perspective.

This has gotten me into trouble in the past. I will use the formula suggested to review my dreams, goals and aspirations and develop a sound plan for succeeding. My biggest fear has been fear of loss. If I had nothing, then I had nothing to lose. Thank you for your gift this morning. The process Dr. I listened to Dr. Cathy and I must say this is the best information on fear of success that I have ever heard and received! I have taken all the right steps toward my goals of being a business and life coach.

Then I am so angry with myself that I get absolutely no where. To hear concrete steps that I can take daily is huge for me!

Peace and Power!! Great darling! Sneaky devil, that subconscious! Just like Dr. I consciously choose to face my fears and name them and flush them out, but I still grapple with them from time to time.

Very well. Thank you so much for sharing your technique, and what has worked for you. Thanks Kimberly! CFC Ph. I have a huge fear of success, I think at this point I have a fear of even trying.

In basically every area of my life. How am I supposed to align my conscious and subconscious in this case? You always fail and you take a harder knock with each new failure. It makes perfect sense to me that you would be finding it difficult to align your thinking given your current struggle. I replied to LC earlier with a really nifty 4 step technique that is brilliant for overcoming fear and returning to a state of love and peace. Just take things slowly- one step at a time and remember to treat yourself with kindness along the way.

Good luck! I loved this episode and so appreciate the advice and free download. This is amazing! I also felt the fear of success as a limit to my freedom, like Shauna, and now have found great peace in harnessing the freedom I cherish to make it part of my work. It now feels like the work I do designing and making beautiful shoes can be imbued with this feeling of peace, beauty and freedom somehow — rather than working against it.

Thank you so much, again and again. A gentle way to work WITH my inner self rather than fighting against it. Thank you for this interview, Marie and Dr. Wow, thank you Marie and Dr. Cathy for talking about the power of the subconscious mind. I have had the privilege of working with clients on understanding and changing their subconscious fears and intentions and I have witnessed profound transformations.

All the answers are within and its so exciting to hear you discussing subconscious investigation as credible, important, life changing work. I love this interview — thank you. I am an EFT tapping practitioner and use similar though I have to say not -so-clear language for how the subconscious is in fact our best friend.

Then all that energy can be put to creativity, feeling better, creating your business and so on. The biggest realisation for me is that there is always a good reason for holding onto all out befiefs and also the physical manifestations like pain. Our subconsciuos and our bodies are always, without exception, on our side and they always, when asked which I do want to be free themselves.

When we let them go, relief all round. Thank you Dr Cathy for your clear language and explanation. Claire, I love how you said that our subconscious and bodies are always on our side, and they want to be free themselves.

Smiles to you…. I totally agree Claire. Hi Marie, thanks for a great episode. Having been sick for 16 years but I believe on the cusp of health, this is making me think about what health signifies to me, what financial self-sufficiency would mean?

Very interesting, thank you both. Thank you so much for this one! It really grabbed me that the first step was humility. I think one of my fears is having to be the expert in the field. It takes time, but the longer you practice doing something, you do become an expert. Hey Anna! Thank you so much for jumping in and sharing your thoughts. I fear success because. I stand up against doctors and some doctors have already exposed me to smear campaigns in the media. I know, however, that the cutting edge technology I work with can not be suppressed.

Thanks again for a wonderful video! I am in the process of understanding and moving past my own road blocks to success. I recently switched careers and have before me a well-lit, clearly marked, frequently traveled path to vertical income potential. Yet, I find myself behaving in ways that are antithetical to this process. I only take inspired action; even if I do not agree wit or understand it. Upon watching this video, I was able to reacess some of my dilemma and ask better questions.

I have determined that my underlying fear is that I will be seperated from my family if I choose to be successful. I have since been able to assuage my fears: I would nbever accept that kind of success.

My family is very important to me and they will be able to adapt to my professional success and wealth. In fact, in many ways, this transformation has already started to take place. This is so timely! In the business of my business day I forget that in the past I have manifested success much more easily! The more successful I become, the easier it is for the doubts and fears to creep in.

Thank you for reminding me that I have a built in coach, mentor, partner and enthusiastic cheerleader who will cheer only the material I give to her. Brilliant interview Marie! Cathy is an angel! I love the actionable steps, so clear and doable. I struggled with the fear of success for a while and realized that it was tied to feeling overwhelmed, doing everything myself, not having help.

I would actually resist clients because I felt like I had too much to do to take care of them well…. Thank you for sharing that Rachel! This was really great; loved the content, the interview and Cathy. Maybe working with Cathy is part of it. Thanks as ever for sharing, Wendy.

I have a really big battle with my subconscious. When I was younger I wanted to change the world and live this idealistic life of being a missionary so I did just that. I gave up wealth, riches, clothes, boyfriend, studies and my job to live a life taking up the vows of poverty, chastity and obedience. Since then my conscious mind has desired the opposite. To actually be paid running my own business doing what I love. I have done EFT, coaching, years of counselling.

I would like for my subconscious to work a little in my direction rather than be a tug of war. But you can check out the resources page of my website www. You might find a friend or two there.

I used to let fear get in the way of my success. This show is a great reminder to me to always push through that fear and re-program my subconscious. Oh my word did I need this topic to be discussed! Thank you Marie and Dr. Hey Karen, I thought Dr. Cathy mentions seeking out examples of successful people you want to emulate. With Chip, you can program in such examples as well as other reminders and affirmations and schedule them so that Chip reminds you of them at a random time.

Your fear of success might be more pronounced at certain times of the day. For example, in a previous interview with Brendon Burchard, he advised Marie to set her iPhone alarm clock every three hours as a reminder to stay on task.

I personally use it to help me stay on task. You can get your free account here:. So grateful! Thank you, Marie and Dr. Cathy for addressing this. I got A LOT of great things from it. Cathy suggested soon. It was heartening. What we as entrepreneurs are largely after is freedom. Freedom to go where I want, do what I want, when I want, and with whom I want, plus a feeling of more security in the financial sense.

It is also the realm in which you can either habituate yourself to expect, and routinely seek the actions that would build and reinforce, the greatest success, happiness, wholeness or healing of your life. The first step in creating massive change in your life is not actually believing that it's possible, it's being willing to see if it is possible. You are not going to be able to jump from being a complete skeptic to a wholehearted believer.

The step between those is just being open to seeing what could be possible. You could maybe try sending a few "scary emails," in which you proposition a client or partner for something that they do not have any reason to respond to.

You might have a few dozen ignored messages, but eventually, someone will respond. Instead of regurgitating the same old narrative of believing you'll be happy once you're 10 pounds, one promotion and two life events down-the-line, work on changing your inner monologue to: "I allow my life to be good.

Give yourself permission to be happy and successful, and not feel guilty about it. If you have a subconscious association between success being amoral, or corrupt, of course you're not going to do what you need to do to live the life you want to live. Instead, give yourself permission to step into a whole, happy, healthy, grounded and meaningful existence. The way people respond to news of your success will tell you how they are really doing in their lives.

If you announce your engagement, people who are in happy marriages will be elated for you. People who are in unhappy marriages will warn you that it is difficult and that you should enjoy your remaining time as "single" individuals.

The point is that other people's fears are projections of their own situations. They have nothing to do with what you are or aren't capable of.

Keep a bottle of champagne in the fridge. Keep an inspirational note on a post-it next to your computer. Think about it like this, smokers smoke cigarettes. Runners run. But have you ever questioned the reason behind that? How can some people smoke a pack of cigarettes per day while others can run five miles per day? Why is that? Were they born differently? Do some people just have more willpower than others?

On the opposite hand, runners run. Runners have run hundreds or thousands of miles and probably have running built into their everyday routine. Either of these habits, both good or bad, are programs running in the subconscious mind. They are part of your identity and your identity runs your entire life.

Whether you realize it or not, everyone carries a mental blueprint about themselves at a subconscious level. Consciously, you might not recognize it at all, but deep down, it is within all of us. The self-image is your own conception of the sort of person you think you are. The self-image starts creating itself at a young age and can run your entire life if you let it. The problem is that most of these beliefs are subconscious.

They are based on your triumphs, failures, successes, and even humiliations throughout your life. From all of your past experiences, your brain constructs a picture of yourself and operates from those paradigms. All of your actions, feelings, and behaviors are consistent with your self-image. You act like the sort of person that you think yourself to be in life.
