“Don’t let your habits become handcuffs.” -- John in Elizabeth Berg’s The Year of Pleasures

Want to change some habits that have become handcuffs? Then prepare to do battle with your subconscious!

Want to change some habits that have become handcuffs? Then prepare to do battle with your subconscious!

Your subconscious doesn’t want you to change. In fact, it’s designed to maintain the status quo so your life doesn’t change too quickly or dramatically. It’s precisely because the subconscious keeps things so stable and predictable that you get stuck in old habits.

If you want to break out of an old pattern, carefully plan an offensive. Use at least 4 different tools or strategies to de- stabilize the old guard around your need.

Our Journaling Tools web site has hundreds of synergistic tools to support you in this. Focusing on your specific issue, you might want to complete an appropriate Insight on One Page worksheet, ask yourself some smart questions, use a journaling tool or two, and read an article to get new perspectives.

Applying a number of different tools to one topic will create enough inner tension to shift, change or transform a subconscious program that’s causing problems for you.

Don’t be trapped by your repetitive thinking, unconscious reactions and defenses. Break free with a multi-directional attack on the forces that hold you back. Create enough tension to force the subconscious mind to reveal and heal old programming.

““We are being truly spontaneous when we can change the habits of a lifetime. … The secret of spontaneity is training. We cannot just decide to be spontaneous overnight; but we can all make these marvelous transformations in our lives if we are prepared to put in the sustained effort they require.” -- Eknath Easwaran
