How to overcome the resistance of the subconscious?

Failure to keep promises made to ourselves is fraught with “rebellion” of our subconscious. Read more about the negative impact of unfulfilled promises in the article “How to remove a heavy burden from the Soul in the form of unfulfilled promises?” Considering us unreliable and frivolous, the subconscious begins to “joke” with us. Moreover, in the most inappropriate places. For example, it puts us in a situation in which we feel stupid, weak, and insignificant.

Another common “joke” of the subconscious is resistance to our choices. The most common example: we decided from tomorrow to lead a healthy lifestyle, eat right, and walk more in the fresh air. This mythical tomorrow comes and suddenly we have a lot of things to do, excuses to just not fulfill our promise.

The most important thing here is not to succumb to the tricks of the subconscious, not to be led and not to give up on the promises you make to yourself. To do this you need to practice volitional resistance. In other words, act through “I don’t want.” That is, you can feel sorry for yourself, postpone the goal for an indefinite future, or you can make an effort on yourself and fulfill your promise.

Under no circumstances should you say to yourself “I don’t have the strength to do this”, “I don’t know how to do this”, “others can do it, but I can’t do it”, etc. Why voluntarily make yourself a stupid, weak, unlucky person? Believe me, every cell of your body “hears” your words and believes it.

Perform volitional resistance, carry out your plans, not paying attention to the excuses of the subconscious. Having realized your promise, you will receive a colossal charge of energy, win the trust of your Soul, and also feel pleasant pride in your loved one.
