¶ Reprogramming the Subconscious Mind
I'm so glad that you're here . You are listening to what the fuck did she just say with your host ? That's me , sandra Priestly . I'm all about living our best life and finding our zone of brilliance and then removing the resistance so that we can go all in .
I say random , crazy shit , which is why I called this podcast the way that I did , and I really hate long drawn out intros , so let's fucking go In yesterday's episode . If you haven't listened to it yet , go back . It was a really good one . I talked about the period of time just prior to you going to sleep .
That is so , so good for reprogramming your subconscious mind , that period of time where you can do the things like gratitude affirmations , like visualizations , so that throughout the night , when you're sleeping , your subconscious mind is like reformulating , reorganizing , and really you're retraining your subconscious mind for good , so that you can achieve the goal that
you've set for yourself . Now , I ended that podcast asking are you willing to do it , though ? Are you willing to do the thing that you know you need to do in order to change your fucking life ? Now , when I asked you that question , I then abruptly ended the episode , but when I asked you that question , what did you think ?
Did you sit here and did you think , yes , sandra , I am totally interested , I am going to do the work , did you ? Did you jump on that ?
Did you think , yes , I'm going to go to bed right now because in the next five minutes , this is the most important time , and I'm going to write out some affirmations and then read them and go to sleep and I'm going to reprogram my thoughts . If you did , and I'm going to reprogram my thoughts If you did , hell , yes , good for you .
I'm like just pissing my pants , excited for you right now . Or did you think , oh , my God , good idea , I'm going to do that tomorrow . If so , also great . Did you think , oh , that seems like a lot of work , I'll do that one day . I'll do that when I'm not so tired . I'll do that when I'm not watching Netflix .
I'll do that when you know , uh , all of my conditions are perfect . If that is you , congratulations . You're the majority of the people . That's why I asked that question Are you willing to do it ? Because the majority of the people are like , yeah , I will one day . Sandra , you are normal .
The majority of people don't hit their goals and that's why the majority of the people will sit in resistance . Now let's just go back . I've said this on the podcast a ton of times and I could probably say it every single day , because I think it's worth repeating .
When I was working with my coach , jenna Kingsford , she said if you have a big dream , it's because you have the capacity to achieve it , and it is something that I never , ever have forgotten . And I started thinking about this . I one of the big , huge dreams that I've had , is to make $100,000 in a month .
That seems wild , right , it seems crazy cool , but I can't stop fucking thinking about it . It's crazy cool , but I can't stop fucking thinking about it .
I was getting my human design read and I was saying you know , she asked me what my like , what was holding me back from leaving my government job , and I said well , I'm making a hundred thousand dollars plus a year right now , and so I don't know that I can do that in my business .
And her response was but in a world of unlimited potentiality , you can make $100,000 in a month .
¶ Navigating Resistance to Achieve Goals
Now here's what's great about this . That is her exact words . I will never forget them . That is the exact statement . I can hear her saying it still , and it has been years . So I know that dream is meant for me . I could hear it louder when she said it and it is like source energy spoke through her , god spoke through her , the universe spoke through her .
This is where you're going , sandra . I got all excited . Oh my gosh . 100,000 other months . I can do this . I can do this . This is an amazing goal . Oh my gosh , oh my gosh . The dopamine hit , kicked in . I thought what do I need to do ? How do I need to get there ? What can I ? This is my big dream .
I know I can achieve it , because I wouldn't have heard it so loud if I didn't have it . And I've kept thinking about that . A hundred thousand other months , every single month , every single day , every single week . It is my dream . I will not forget it . Here's the thing Just like when you have you're going to , you want to manifest something .
There is a lot of things that you need to do in order to manifest that right . You got to open up to possibility , because that $100,000 a month , that could come in a lot of different ways . So you've got to open up to possibility , but you also have to do the work . Now here's the problem that I see the bigger the goal , the more the resistance . Why ?
Because resistance is your protective mechanism . When you decide you want to achieve a big , huge goal , guess what , coming with that goal , there's a lot of fucking fear . If you didn't have the fear , then you would already have achieved the goal . So there's a lot of fear that comes with that and you've got to work through that fear .
If you don't , you sit in protection . What we need to do is identify what we make that goal mean . So for me . I'm looking at this $100,000 months and I can say shit . And I can say shit . $100,000 a month to me means burnout . Now , does it have to Fuck ? No , it doesn't .
But that's my biggest fear is being so busy that I will burn out and it will affect my health . Why I burnt myself out ? I never took a day off .
I went in with a migraine , to the point where there was some days where I was sitting in my office with all the lights off , rocking in the corner because my headache was so bad , my migraine was so bad and I was just waiting for my my medication to kick in . Why did I go to work like that ?
I mean , really , I had this belief that I had to show up , that I couldn't take a day off . I had this belief that I there were people counting on me and I wasn't allowed to take a day off because I was too behind , I was too busy , I had too much on the go .
I was leading seven teams at one time seven because everyone else was either on sick leave or on some sort of leave . Seven teams , the whole province , and then the director was on leave . And so one of my biggest fears , my biggest protection mechanisms , is if I get too busy , if I make $100,000 in a month , it's gonna be way too busy .
There's no way I'm gonna be able to do it . And I am going to get into this place where I am so busy and so many people are counting on me . I'm never gonna be able to place where I'm so busy and so many people are counting on me . I'm never going to be able to stop . I'm never going to be able to take a break .
You can see why I have resistance , but again , I have the goal of $100,000 a month . So the job is the message from God . The universe source energy is Sandra , you can do this , you are meant to do this and you can do this without the burnout . I mean , let's face it , I run my own business .
I can just turn the fucking tap off if I get burnt out , right , I can just not take any more clients . I can create a wait list , it'll all work out , but that resistance is sticky . So what we need to do is we need to reprogram that . We need to decide what is my way through this resistance , because it's going to come up .
It does every single time , and that's what I love to do . That's what I love to do with my clients . They set a big goal , a big dream for themselves . They decide what they're wanting to do and then they eat a sandwich . The sandwich eaters they're wanting to do , and then they eat a sandwich . The sandwich eaters they're my people .
The sandwich eaters are the ones that I love to work with , and I don't care if it is like bologna with moldy bread or if it is like a designer sandwich , paniniini , beautiful with like artisanal bread and fancy cheeses and all of the things . It doesn't matter . A sandwich is a sandwich . It is avoidance , it is resistance .
It is you deciding to listen to your fears instead of your dream , instead of your goal . So what do we need to do ? What I love to do is , well , first off , figure out what is the source of your resistance .
We do a lot of work in my private coaching on identifying where the resistance is , identifying the limiting beliefs and then reprogramming them into empowering beliefs . Like that is a daily thing .
It's a daily thing that we work on because they're going to come up there your protection , and especially when you're not doing the reprogramming at night , I mean we've got to work on these limiting beliefs in your subconscious mind , right ? Because your subconscious mind is controlling 80 to 90% of your fucking actions . So you want to take action .
You're going to need to reprogram what you make those things mean , what you make those goals mean . You got to reprogram it . So that's one of the things that I love to do . The other thing that I love to do is to identify the path with least resistance . How can you take action every single day with the least amount of resistance ? What is your path ?
I love the idea of doing the hard work , but why do we need to all the time , right ? Sometimes the hard work is just taking fucking action and doing the thing that we love to do . And doesn't that seem fucked up ? If we love to do it , shouldn't we just do it more ?
Yeah , but we're in so much resistance that we just sit with our feet up and eat the sandwich While we think , geez , I really should be doing this . Why am I avoiding the things that I love to do ? Why am I avoiding the things that make me feel better ? Why am I avoiding taking action ? Because you're sitting in resistance .
You're sitting in the protection , because doing the thing that gets you closer to your goal . That gets you closer to your goal means letting go of the protective armor . It means letting go of the stories that you tell yourself . But that's the fucking work .
