BAM! How to Scare a Limiting Belief Out of Your Subconscious
“If you succeed at staying the course, one of the many glorious results can be that you’ll freak your subconscious out so massively that it will rise up, guns-a-blazin’, and reveal itself to you like a pheasant being startled out of a bush.”
– Jen Sincero, “You are a Badass at Making Money”
Good golly, I love Jen Sincero’s Badass book about money…here I am blogging about it again!
Here’s a question for ya:
Might you be holding onto a deep-rooted belief about money that is holding you back from making and/or attracting significantly more of it?
I was!
Money is funny. When it comes to our underlying beliefs about moolah, goodness only knows what is lurking way down deep in our subconscious mind.
So deep, in fact, that we are likely not even aware they exist, let alone that they are probably holding us back from making, attracting, acquiring, accumulating, and keeping serious coin.
For example, if we believe, way down deep, that we don’t deserve to be wealthy…then believe you me, we will do everything in our power to keep big money from coming our way. Problem is, we are usually not AWARE of our limiting beliefs. We may say we want to be wealthy…but our bank accounts and behaviour indicate otherwise. Perhaps the term “self-sabotage” comes to mind?
If you suspect you might have a deep-rooted belief about money that is no longer serving you, and you’d like to bring it to the light of day (and perhaps give it the heave-ho), Jen Sincero, author of “You are a Badass at Making Money; Master the Mindset of Wealth” has a great suggestion:
Think of an action you could take that would be a giant but terrifying step forward towards a financial goal.
How does that feel?
“This is the feeling you are going for when you make a huge leap in your life: equal parts excitement and terror,” Sincero explains. “And if you succeed at staying the course, one of the many glorious results can be that you’ll freak your subconscious out so massively (remember, it’s trying to keep you safely tucked inside your comfort zone) that it will rise up, guns-a-blazin’, and reveal itself to you like a pheasant being startled out of a bush.”
“This is exactly what happened to me,” she continues…
