Discover Your Subconscious Programming about Money

Let’s start with a little exercise. I want you to give your immediate responses to these words or phrases. Don’t even think about them. Just trust the very first thing that comes to mind. I’ll tell you why after you complete the exercise:

  • Rich people
  • Money
  • Success
  • Financial freedom

How did you answer? Did you say “Rich people … are snobs.” Or “Money … doesn’t grow on trees.” If you did, that should tell you that you have negative subconscious beliefs that could be holding you back.

You might have even said,“Rich people … are lucky.” While that might sound like a positive statement, it might not be. If you don’t generally think of yourself as someone who has a lot of luck, then your subconscious mind will hold yourself back from becoming rich.

Reflect on What Your Parents Told You

Maybe you were an average student and you heard, “You’re never going to be successful if you keep going with these kind of grades!” Or “You are so lazy! You’ll never amount to anything in life if you don’t get up and do something.”

What your parents told you about yourself and your ability to be successful has programmed your conscious and subconscious mind.

Also, if you heard statements like “You have to save for a rainy day,” or “What do you think I’m made of…money?” then your parents indirectly told you that money is scarce and hard to come by.

So if they believed that, chances are, you do too. Even if you don’t consciously know it.

Monitor Your Self-Talk, Thoughts & Emotions

How do you feel when you’re paying bills? Do you have a sinking feeling about all the money that is going out? Or do you feel thankful that you even have money to pay bills? When you go to the store, do you say, “I can’t afford that” or “If only I could win the lottery …”

How you talk to yourself about money – and yourself – leads to thoughts and feelings that create your reality. Monitor the thoughts that go through your head and then stop yourself every time you catch yourself being negative.

Employ Affirmations and Visualization

Once you realize the negative thoughts that go through your head, use affirmations and visualization to change it.

Write out positive statements about money and success and repeat them over and over. Put them on poster boards around your house and look at them often. Also, close your eyes and visualize your goals. See yourself in your perfect career or a happy relationship. Feel it. See it. Act as if it is real.

The subconscious mind doesn’t know the difference between fantasy and reality. So the more you visualize it, the more you will trick it into thinking it is reality.

Reprogram Your Subconscious Mind with Hypnosis

Hypnosis is nothing creepy or strange. It is simply relaxing your brain waves so you are more open to suggestions and re-programming. So if you have discovered that your parents taught you that “money is the root of all evil,” well then you better do some re-programming ASAP.

There are many places on the internet that you can find mp3 hypnosis tapes that can be downloaded immediately. The more you use hypnosis, the more you will erase all the negative programming that you, your parents, and society have instilled into your subconscious. Trust me, it works.

The Takeaway

I hope that if you’ve gotten nothing else from this article, you have at least come to the realization that despite all your efforts to reach your goals, there might be something hidden that is holding you back.

This might be something you’ve never thought of before, so it’s time to use this newfound awareness  and take some steps forward. Putting some effort into digging deeper and overcoming your negative subconscious programming will put you on the fast track to success!
