How Your Subconscious Mind Affects Your Core Obligations and Why It Matters

By Heather Cherry—

Commitment often evokes a sense of commitment and focus. It’s a word most associated with relationships (perhaps career goals). But how committed you are to something ultimately affects the outcome. “Effort is a state of commitment – putting yourself into something. The more you are for something, the more energy you put into that thing,” says Teal Swaninternational speaker and author.

Core commitments — primary goals or intentions for your life — are often unspoken, but guide most decisions. They become entwined with your core values, influence how you appear in your relationships – both personally and professionally – and influence self-sabotage. “A person may not seem committed to working on something because they may want to relax or escape. Whether we know it or not, we are always committed to something, even when it doesn’t seem like it,” Swan says.

Here’s How You subconsciousness affects your core obligations and why it matters.

Core Commitments

Your core obligations can be a front for your core needs. “Your core needs are the opposite of your core obligations, and it’s also another way to identify your purpose,” says Brianna Wiestauthor of The mountain is you. “For example, if your subconscious core engagement is in control, your core need is trust. If your subconscious core engagement is needed, your core need is to know that you are wanted.”

Wiest continues, “If you are a person who needs trust and is therefore committed to maintaining control, but the less you believe you are being supported, the more your negative coping mechanisms will flare up. This can happen through disruptive eating patterns, isolating yourself, or hyperfixing physical appearance. More generally, you can sabotage opportunities and feel exhausted and exhausted when you “should be feeling happy.”

Subconsciousness

Core obligations and core needs are rooted in your subconsciousness. “Your subconscious contains all the stored information from everything you’ve ever experienced. Because of this, it influences how you react to things,” says Brian Tracymotivational speaker and author.

Sigmund Freud, the founder of psychoanalysis, suggested that the unconscious mind governs behavior, arguing that your feelings, motives, and decisions are heavily influenced by your past experiences and stored in the mind. unconscious.

And according to Bruce Lipton, Ph.D., stem cell biologist and author, How Your Subconscious Mind Works can be attributed to the first seven years of your life. “In the early years, the brain works mainly in the theta and alpha wavelengths, the same frequencies as during hypnosis or deep meditation. Theta is the gateway to learning, memory, creativity and intuition. Children learn how to perceive the outside world and react to different situations. by observing and interacting with the behavior of their siblings, caregivers, and the community,” says Lipton. “This creates programs in our minds, and 95% of your life is based on those programs.”

Discover your core obligations

The subconscious mind affects your core obligations directly related to self-sabotage. So how do you resolve misalignments and overcome self-sabotage?

Step one: Recognize where you struggle and identify what motivates you. Understanding the motivation for each of them will help you uncover the cause so you can eventually adapt or adapt to it. “We don’t often need to be told what to do when it comes to overcoming self-sabotage; we know what we want and what we need — we’re just held back by our fear of feeling,” Wiest says.

Step two: Dive into the “why” and “what” behind the battle, which will likely stir some emotions. But feeling resistance is normal and “persevering” may not be the answer. Experts suggest this may strengthen resistance.

This is because the feelings associated with self-sabotage are usually not random, but can provide valuable insights to change your trajectory. For example, think about why you feel this way and what it might be trying to tell you. Are you supposed to learn something new?

Step three: Disconnect action from feeling. Often you are not held back because you are unable to change, but mainly because you feel that you cannot.

This is because self-sabotage is often the result of limiting beliefs about self-esteem. For example, you may fear success because you don’t think you deserve it (or you don’t believe you will ever succeed), so you act in a way that predetermines failure.

Step four: Take action before you feel like it. To take action builds momentumcreates motivation, and restructures your comfort zone. “We begin to long for what we do repeatedly, but the first few times we do it, we often feel uncomfortable. The trick is to nullify that initial hesitation, so we live our lives with logic and reason, not with emotionality,” says Wiest. “Most importantly, you may feel like you can’t take action when you definitely can. You may not feel willing because you’re not used to it.”

Step five: Acknowledge and congratulate yourself for the work you have just accomplished! You are one step closer to overcoming your self-sabotaged behavior.
