WHY u STILL feel INSECURE and how u can CHANGE that! GIH misc!

[proudmanlet]

cliffs:
-your subconscious mind holds what u truly believe about yourself
-your subconscious mind develops its beliefs by what it is told daily by yourself and outside sources
-for years others and u yourself have been feeding it negative beliefs
-u can change your beliefs about yourself by reprogramming by consciously feeding urself positive beliefs about yourself

Miscers, did u USED to be too facially ugly/ too skinny/too fat etc. but now u r really legit aesthetic/jacked/lean or w/e but u STILL FEEL insecure about those things? many miscers apparently do, I see it all the time around here.

The reason is simple: your SUBCONSCIOUS MIND holds all your true beliefs about yourself, and it believes whatever it gets fed--for years possibly others and especially YOUR OWN SELF has been feeding ur mind with thoughts like "I'm too ugly/skinny/fat" etc. this has shaped what u believe deep down. if u still feel insecure u r probably STILL feeding urself such thoughts but even if not they have built up over years in your subconscious mind, so u hold these beliefs and u do not even know it

But u can CHANGE those subconscious beliefs by REPROGRAMMING ur subconscious mind, it takes time--remember u have been building these up day by day for years--but other than that it's easy, there r many different ways so pick ones that u r comfortable with:

-main idea is feed ur mind with positive affirmations about yourself instead of negative statements about yourself
-make it a HABIT to replace any negative thought about yourself with a positive one, example: u catch yourself thinking "I'm ugly" stop and think "I'm a 10/10"
-thru the day just repeat positive thoughts about yourself in ur mind, come up with some specific affirmations about certain points u r working on and repeat them til they r automatic, repetition is how we learn and especially ur subconscious
-use visualization as well as word affirmations
-when laying in bed falling asleep let ur affirmations repeat in ur mind, ur brain is in alpha/theta wave state right then which is most beneficial for reaching ur subconscious and thoughts will sink in while u sleep
-do the same thing when u first wake up
-u can also combine using affirmations with things like meditation, hypnosis or relaxation exercises, similar effect to falling asleep/waking up
-if u feel insecure about certain things, start with affirmations on those points, later on u can switch what u r working on to focus on other goals like success (school, work, money), women or--guess what misc--even LIFTING/BODYBUILDING goals

ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh positive affirmations are kinda bull****ty

because you have not investing your being into the idea


the mind and the body must be one


if you say something out loud, purely from mind, but you don't feel it, then it is my understanding that nothing will happen.

You have given out too much Reputation in the last 24 hours, try again later.


Another prosperous thread from the don.

Does your interest in human psychology and development stem from personal research or did you do studies in that field?

Have you experienced genuine progress/epiphany/actualisation of goals after reading one of the aforementioned books or articles or were they just a temporary boost to your plans to positively increase your self image, eventually subsiding when you lost interest? (if applicable).










Time to finish my 10 page assignment.

just personal research/reading, one thing I realized reading several various "self improvement" books is almost all of them use these techniques in some way, almost every one recommends some kind of use of affirmation, visualizing etc

I have had success with these techniques for a few years now, example: irl for most of my life I often have been kinda an uptight person always stressing inside about stuff I need to get done, being perfect etc.--this was mostly kept inside, probably even most of my family and friends didn't even realize how much I felt stress inside--and maybe it doesn't come across here as much but I still have some of this, but it is MUCH better than it used to be--have been using techniques like these to be more of a calm person going with the flow more vs trying to control things all the time

have also used them for fitness/bodybuilding type goals. examples: when I wanted to cut a little but not stress by going on a srs cut I used fat loss affirmations for a few weeks, I dropped some weight and bf without consciously changing my habits (dead srs). and for past like year and a half I been visualizing making my bicep peak more/getting more definition in my arms--arms have stayed the same size but when I put up new avi couple months ago and compared it to my old avis I was legit surprised how much better it looked to me

also used these techniques to help complete work projects--visualize getting that assignment done bro!

[Harry815]

Reading "The Power of Your Subconscious Mind" right now, as recommended in one of your earlier threads.

Also began writing daily affirmations in the morning and night, and repeating them in my head throughout the day.

cheers mate.

yep and almost any pro or athlete, coach etc u listen to will talk about visualization etc in some form, IMO this is all different forms of the same basic concept of training ur subconscious to help u reach ur full potential

[esmile]

I support this stuff. Srs lately I've been telling myself I'm the **** which I truly believe I am but was too scared to accept. Well I landed a job and passed all my classeS!
