[00:00:53] finance enthusiast, Diana Merriam. Welcome back to another bonus Sunday episode. This is where we get to hear from one of the other shows on our podcast network. And today's comes from Optimal Health Daily. You can find that show wherever you're listening to this. So with that, here's

[00:01:10] Dr. Neil with the post and commentary as we optimize your life. How to Reprogram Your Brain for Health, Wealth, and Happiness by the NeuroGym Team of MyNeuroGym.com. Your thoughts and belief system make up the software that runs your life. The way you

[00:01:32] experience the world around you is a reflection of your inner belief system. And have you noticed how limiting beliefs block your growth and progress? The human mind relies on the brain to carry out its functions. And our minds divide into two parts, the conscious and subconscious.

[00:01:51] Think of your mind as an iceberg. The conscious part is the part you see on the surface of the ocean, which is roughly about 5% of the ice formation. And the other 95% that lies under the sea represents your subconscious, also known as your unconscious or non-conscious mind.

[00:02:10] Imagine the power of the subconscious. The subconscious mind is always active, regulating the automatic functions of our body. It's also responsible for encoding our emotional responses into our cellular memory. This process determines our motivation and shapes our behavior, our thought

[00:02:28] patterns, and our habits. So if you want to change your behavior and create daily habits for success, you have to start communicating more effectively with your subconscious mind. It's that simple. Here are three of our favorite techniques to help you on your path to reprogramming your brain

[00:02:48] for goal achievement in all areas of your life. 1. Practice creative visualization to prime your brain to make big moves. Cognitive priming techniques like visualization, meditation, self-reflection, and mindfulness help stimulate new positive neural pathways. Your unconscious

[00:03:09] mind dominates mental activity, regardless of whether or not your conscious mind is idle or active. Your unconscious mind is using up the majority of energy consumed by the brain. So, why not fill your busy brain with some positive constructive daydreaming or PCT and creative

[00:03:28] visualization to open the gates for joy and productivity? These practices can help you get clear about what you want and help you transform dreams into reality. 2. Incorporate subliminal messages into your daily routine. The physicist and author Leonard Milodino explains,

[00:03:49] Human behavior is the product of an endless stream of perceptions, feelings, and thoughts at both the conscious and unconscious levels. From Subliminal, How your unconscious mind rules your behavior. And to shift your way of being, you first have to reprogram your unconscious mind

[00:04:07] for success. Incorporating subliminal messages into your day takes affirmations to the next level. Repeating affirmations vocally or through writing is great, but receiving positive messages subliminally is an excellent way to accelerate the reprogramming process. Listening to subliminal guided audio meditations on headphones while you're relaxing or seeing

[00:04:30] visual affirmations appear on your computer screen during your workday can help you to connect to a source of well-being in all areas of life. Subliminal messaging can help guide you to new opportunities, attract interesting and loving people, and increase the flow of money,

[00:04:46] health, and overall prosperity. 3. Use positive affirmations to conquer your limiting beliefs. This one is important if you want to reprogram your brain for success. As Dr. Joseph Murphy writes in his book, The Power of Your Subconscious Mind,

[00:05:04] Change your thoughts and you change your destiny. You've probably dabbled with using positive affirmations at some point, right? Remember Louise Hay and her books, You Can Heal Your Life and The Power Is Within You? She even has an adult coloring book of affirmations now.

[00:05:22] And now's the time to bring positive affirmations to the forefront of our daily rituals and routines. They're totally still in style. Here are a few you can use to get started. I possess the wisdom and the motivation for accomplishing anything I choose.

[00:05:39] I have the qualities needed to become extremely successful. I am healthy and full of energy, overflowing with joy. Affirmations can help with goal achievement because of their ability to rewire our brains. It's similar to physical exercise. Positive words and phrases raise the level of feel-good hormones

[00:05:59] and push our brains to form new pathways for positive thought neurons. This process helps to release limiting beliefs and make room for new thought patterns and behaviors for a successful life. What's next? Hopefully you now have a better idea on how to reprogram your brain for health,

[00:06:19] wealth and happiness. If you're ready to remove blockages to overcome limiting beliefs, practice these techniques on a daily basis. You just listened to the post titled, How to Reprogram Your Brain for Health, Wealth and Happiness by the NeuroGym Team of MyNeuroGym.com.

[00:08:09] Plus, let's not forget, I provide an inspirational quote every Wednesday to keep the positivity flowing. Sometimes though, we can misinterpret this idea that positive thinking directly leads to health and wealth. Now, positive thinking is only part of the story though. We still have to

[00:08:28] perform the actions, the behaviors that bring us health and wealth. Researchers like Dr. Sean Acor have found that positive emotions are so effective because they prime our brains to being more open, more open to new ideas, more open to new opportunities that come our way. So positivity

[00:08:51] can train our brains to see the world differently as a place of opportunities. So here's how it works. When we see more opportunities, we are more likely to take action and be open to trying something

[00:09:05] new when those opportunities come our way. Ultimately then, staying positive is great. Positive affirmations are fantastic, but don't forget to use that positivity to motivate you to take action. All right, that wraps up today's episode. Thank you so much for listening.
