Small Change for Big Financial Results
When it comes to getting help from your unconscious mind to make changes in your life, there’s such a thing as dreaming too big. And make no mistake about it, you want help from you unconscious mind. Change is difficult. We need all the help we can get. And since our unconscious mind is, ultimately, what delivers our reality, it’s crucial that the unconscious mind be fully on board with any changes we want to make.
This is true in the realm of finances as well as other areas, but with finances it’s easier to measure.
But what happens if you set a goal -- monetary or otherwise -- that the unconscious mind doesn’t believe is attainable? If your financial goals seems outlandish, no matter how focused you are, you’re not going to get the support you need from the unconscious mind.
What to do? Stop dreaming big?
No way, José! You know me better than that. Don’t quit your big dreams…
But do put them on the back burner temporarily.
Deciding to make a deliberate change involves marrying the conscious and unconscious minds. You can logically make a decision with your conscious brain, but to get the message into the unconscious mind, you need baby steps -- believable, attainable baby steps.
Set a small, believable, achievable goal with a clear deadline. Focus on your goal. Remember, you unconscious mind thrives on repetition. Speak your goal in positive, toward language. Focus on the final step, the task or event that would occur right before the completion of your goal. Internalize that moment so that it’s comfortable and familiar to your unconscious mind. And then finally, take a step in the direction of your goal.
When you’ve reached your goal, set the next one, and do the process again. Success breeds success. This is how my clients double, triple, and quadruple their incomes.
