Striker, your subconscious sounds as crafty as mine. It’s many times tried to get me to change my mind or my course of action by bringing some pretty creative ideas to my conscious mind.
The last programs I listened to was stop smoking. It was excruciating at times both mentally and physically. I only mention this so you understand how illogical my subconscious can be.
I’m now listening to overcome guilt, shame and fear. I was about 4 weeks into this program and 8 months since I quit smoking. It was a beautiful Friday afternoon, happy hourish. A time which I associated much to smoking. I had had some cravings here and there but nothing I couldn’t handle around this time, until that day. This day the cravings and wants were full blown. I was so frustrated, angry and upset not understanding how these feeling could come out of the blue when it had been so long. I went to bed early that night and while lying in bed, a light bulb came on and I thought, “I’ll just listen to the seventh stage of stop smoking,” which is a refresher stage. I went to sleep thinking that’s what I would do. When I woke up, I had my AHA moment! I realized that my subconscious wanted me to stop listening to the guilt, shame and fear. And even though the smoking was a brutal time for me, to my subconscious it was the lesser of two evils, probably because there isn’t anything to kill fear in it or if so, not as concentrated as OGS&F.
So I then, (shaking my head in almost crazy disbelief) thought to myself, I think I just stay with this course of action and see where it takes me. The smoking cravings dispensed almost immediately.
So my advice to you, is when these thoughts come up, say to yourself (or your subconscious), thanks for the ideas and maybe when I get done with AM I’ll use those programs and watch how fast those thoughts go away. You may have other things happen but you’ll be able to deal with them knowing what and why they’re happening.
Good luck!
