So I recently picked up this really good book by author Jen Sincero titled "You are a BADASS " and I just haven't put it down. I breezed through the first half of the book and decided to pace myself and take the time to take it all in.

What could I change in my own life to help me on this journey of attaining the 'BADASS' title?

The Power of the Subconscious Mind

Although most of our daily life we think is controlled by our conscious mind, a lot of it isn't. Need Proof? Well, okay.

Think about one of the easiest and most relevant topics in one's life: Money.
Quick! What's the first thing that popped into your head?

Was it the color 'green'? Was it an image of a 'desk job'? Or was it your Steemit account? surprise surprise

Well whatever popped in, have you ever wondered why you associate THAT image with the word 'money'?

Aha! That's your subconscious mind at work.

You see from a very young age, we are told by our parents and other adults around us what to make of the world. Our parents and teachers are probably our biggest influencers. For example: Suppose you were brought up in an environment that was filled with poverty and hardships. Now compare yourself with a guy who's grown up in a very influential and wealthy family. How the both of you think of money, is bound to be different. VERY different.

For me personally, I grew up believing that having a lot of money definitely meant you were up to no good. You were either corrupt or a gangster or cheating some poor soul somewhere. I actually still do. But that's exactly what I'm trying to overwrite now. And so should you!

"Whatever we plant in our subconscious mind and nourish with repetition and emotion will one day become a reality" - Earl Nightingale

Just because we've grown up with these naive thoughts and built stories around them, doesn't mean we need to keep believing them.

But now, are you ready for the SHOCKER? Look at your own life and see how your subconscious mind influences each and every decision you make.

• Do you badly crave a job, but are just too chicken to apply for it?
• Do you get uncomfortable seeing people of different color?
• Do you want to lose weight but somehow feel safe when you can hide behind that gut?

Maybe you were told as a child, that you weren't smart enough, or you should stay away from a certain race of people or that you'll always be the chubby kid.

See where I'm going with this?

EXACTLY! :)

I'm now on this journey of hacking my subconscious mind to allow me to achieve my full potential. And I want others to do it too.

Share this post with the people you love and help them get started on their journey as well!

Let's be BADASSES together! :)

Until the next one,
Cheers! ^_^
