Before we move forward with Day 7, let’s do a quick recap of the 21 day money Mind Challenge so far…

We talked about negative money beliefs and how to begin changing them. How to change your relationship with money. You discovered the power of habits. We went over letting go and learning to trust your new relationship with money.

Yesterday we tapped into the universal law of sowing and reaping and how to use this law to stay encouraged during this challenge,

Let’s get going on today’s fascinating discussion on the Power of Your Subconscious Mind.

There’s a reason why Morgana’s Financial Alchemy associates a persona with your Money Monster and your Money Honey. It has to do with the how your subconscious works.

Do you remember the quote for Day 4?

Watch your thoughts; they become words. Watch your words; they become actions. Watch your actions; they become habits. Watch your habits; they become character. Watch your character; it becomes your destiny. ~ Unknown

Your subconscious is very sensitive to your thoughts.

That’s why watching your thoughts is critical to changing your money mindset.

Your mind works at two levels… the conscious level and a subconscious level.

Meet Your Conscious Half

Let me explain how the conscious and subconscious mind works. This knowledge of the interaction between your conscious and subconscious will enable you, to not only change your money mindset, but to transform your whole life.

You think with your conscious and it’s the rational half of your mind. You make all your decisions with your conscious mind. It’s the part of your mind that makes your choices.

The conscious mind gathers knowledge and experience through the senses. It learns from books, conversation and experience. It reasons and forms conclusions. Thoughts generate at the conscious level and finally passes its thoughts down into the subconscious mind…  What you habitually think about all day long sinks down into your subconscious.

Meet Your Subconscious Half…

Your subconscious level is the cradle of your emotions and creative center in your mind. It’s also where your habits take up residence.

Think of the subconscious mind as the storage room of everything that is currently not in your conscious mind; it stores all your previous life experiences, your belief system, your memories, you skills, all situations you’ve been through, and all images you’ve ever seen.

Your subconscious mind runs on auto pilot and will process whatever information enters it. It’s always working. It is active night and day, whether you act upon it or not. Through ceaseless, tireless action of your subconscious mind controls all the vital functions of your body without the help of your conscious mind.

Can you imagine if you had to think about breathing, make your heart pump… thank goodness for the subconscious mind.

Your subconscious mind is far more powerful than your conscious one. When you learn how to train and use your subconscious mind, you can control your behavior, break bad habits, get rid of unwanted emotions and fix your belief system.

How the Conscious Affects Your Subconscious

Your subconscious is subjective to your conscious mind. It takes orders your give it based on what your conscious mind believes and accepts at true.

 Your subconscious mind will begin to execute an idea once it accepts the idea impressed upon it. It will not make comparisons nor does it reason or thinks things out for itself. That job belongs to the conscious mind.

It will accept what ever the conscious mind believes whether it’s true or false.

The subconscious mind learns by repetition and not by logic. It learns by the conscious mind establishing deep grooves from habitual thinking… thinking the same thoughts over and over.

The longer the subconscious mind believes something, the harder it will be to alter this belief in any way: If you have a longstanding belief, it will definitely be more difficult to alter than a recently formed one.

Money Persona’s Soothes the Conflicts Between Your Conscious and Subconscious Minds

While you may want to change the way you think… your conscious mind will often reject your new thoughts because they are in conflict with your current belief system.

The more ingrained the belief… the harder it will be to alter it.

That is until you associate genuine feelings and emotions to your new beliefs. Your subconscious picks up that your conscious mind really doesn’t believe what it’s thinking.  The subconscious accepts what your really feel is true.  Until then, the dominate idea or belief will be accepted by the subconscious.

Creating relationships your money brings emotions and feelings to those beliefs. Your money monster represents those old money beliefs. Your money honey emboldens your new money beliefs.

The subconscious mind does not differentiate between visualizations and real situations. These two personas don’t produce a mental conflict.

If you said "I love money" without attaching it to your relationship with your money honey, a conflict can arise from within.

I invested years in telling myself everything my parents said about money was wrong. Their negative suggestions were so embedded and deeply grooved. It took years of lots and lots of repetition just to make minor inroads on my money belief system.

It was the visualization of the relationship of the two money personas that allowed the inner conflict to subside. My subconscious more readily accepted the new thoughts because it really felt they were true.

That’s when I experience many positive  money changes in our life. It’s almost like the bamboo story from yesterday.

Go back and listen to the " Create New Relationship With Money" audio in the Financial Alchemy Program. Notice how many times Morgana talks about feelings toward your new money.

Creating a relationship with a "Money Honey" sounded hokey and dopey but relationships involve emotion and feeling… the fastest way to make a new impression stick on your subconscious.
