OpTimize Your Sub-Conscious Mind - By Joy Cassell

Self directed change is possible and our birthright if we understand the mechanism of our subconscious minds

One way to think of our subconscious minds is to use the analogy of a computer operation system (the OS.) The second step to my Life OpTimize philosophy is to actively peruse and understand our OS.

We develop beliefs about ourselves early in life and it develops as our sub concisions OS – and we are not aware typically that we are programming the mechanism that will assist us in navigating life.

Parts of this programming is useful and keep us out of physical danger, and some are practical (e.g. at 5” nothing, and female I cannot expect to play in the NFL) But in most individuals are in need of reprogramming as we limit our ability to grow and reaching a peak potential, And on a much larger scale this OS prevents us as human beings moving beyond reflex emotions such as hate, and fear.

So what is your OS? What stories does it produce?

• Bad things always happen to me.
• I will fail at business.
• This job sucks, but I can not do better.
• All men/women cheat.
• That jerk in the Lexus is better than me because his parents had money. He never had to actually work for anything.

And on and on…we go

The problem with this kind of thinking is that we activate our automatic failure mechanism (in the words of Psycho Cybernetics)

Simply put, Garbage in…Garbage out.

Took Kit

• Tony Robbins teaches a technique called the 10 Mental Diet. Make it a point to note how many defeatist thoughts we have and refuse to indulge them. I was profoundly influenced by this.
• History is filled with positive examples of successful individuals. Who marched to the beat of their own drum, Albert Einstein, Andrew Carnegie. Lean their stories.

Human beings ALWAYS act and feel and perform in accordance with what they IMAGINE to be TRUE about themselves and their environment.
