The more I study and work with the subconscious mind, the more in awe I am of it.   The following is an excerpt from a fascinating book titled The Social Animal by David Brooks.:

"The human mind can take in 11 million pieces of information at any moment. The most generous estimate is that people can be consciously aware of 40 of these. Some experts go as far as saying that “the unconscious mind does virtually all the work and that conscious will may be an illusion”.

After having worked with thousands of patients using N.E.T. while I was a chiropractor and for the last seven years in my coaching practice, I don’t need any outside studies to prove to me the power of the subconscious mind.  From all my experience I am convinced that “You don’t manifest what you want in life, you manifest what you believe”.    And so many things that we believe subconsciously are not true.

Yesterday for example I was working with one of my clients. She’s a beautiful powerful and very capable woman. We were checking her subconscious beliefs around her worth to make sure that she was congruent with the fee she’s charging for her services. It is very important that you know if you are congruent with the fee that you charge because otherwise you will sabotage yourself: Either you will not be able to attract clients to pay you what you’re consciously feel you are worth or you will not be able to get paid. This is especially true if you’re self-employed but it can also apply to you if you are on the salary, as you will find it very difficult to get paid what you think you are worth.

When we did our little investigative work we discovered that she was not congruent with the amount of money she was charging: deep down she did not feel worthy of it.   And it all came from the erroneous reasoning of a three-year-old child. At that time my client had a babysitter that she loved. This sitter had a daughter who is still to this day my client’s best girlfriend. Naturally her sitter preferred her daughter to my client; as an adult it’s easy to see that it’s a normal thing to do. But my client as a child felt that she did not have as much worth because of it and this subconscious belief had been hanging on since childhood.
 

It is challenging enough to be self-employed and have the nerves to charge what we are worth. If at the same time we have subconscious beliefs that hinder us, it just makes it that much more challenging to have the self-confidence to get paid. This is just one example of how old stories that we carry in our subconscious mind can be holding us back. For me it’s really worth it to take the time to examine my beliefs since I want to live an extraordinary life… and these beliefs can be the only thing standing between me and an extraordinary life.
