9 Ways To Train Your Subconscious Mind To Get What You Want

The subconscious mind is a powerful tool to help you achieve your goals. It’s like a computer that stores your beliefs, thoughts, and emotions and then uses those to influence how you act in the world. 

Subconscious definition– a lay term that is widely used to denote the unconscious or preconscious mind as described by Sigmund Freud or the general idea of subliminal consciousness.

The problem is that many people don’t know how to program their subconscious minds properly. 

That’s why we’ve put together this guide on how to use your mind’s power for good. Read further if you want to know how to train your subconscious mind to accomplish more…

Declutter your mind (literally).

So how do you get rid of all that clutter?

Your mind might feel like a cluttered closet: The more you try to organize it, the more disorganized it seems.

Let’s face it: Our minds are one big mess—but there are ways that we can declutter them and make them work for us instead of against us.

The first step is to declutter your space physically. If there’s anything in your environment (physical or otherwise) that doesn’t bring value or positivity into your life, get rid of it. 

Remove the negative energy from all aspects of your life by getting rid of whatever isn’t making a positive contribution towards reaching those goals. 

Once you’ve eliminated those things from your life, move on to removing negative people.

Cut off negative influences.

As you focus on what you want, you must eliminate any negative influences from your life. This means:

• Cutting off toxic people from your life who are constantly complaining or bringing you down.
• Stop consuming news, music, and TV shows that only focus on the wrong things happening around us instead of focusing on solutions for fixing them.
• Not reading books or blogs that encourage fear-based thinking about money and success (there are plenty of good ones out there.)

Define what you want.

To get what you want, the first thing to do is to ensure a clear idea yourself in as much detail as possible of what it is that you want. 

Write it down and put it somewhere where you can see it every day so that when your subconscious mind goes through its daily routine (which covers most of our waking hours), it will be reminded of your goals.

Defining why or how exactly this new desirable state of being would improve life for yourself and those around you will help develop a stronger motivation to achieve them.

It’s also essential that the goal isn’t too far away from who you are now: if there’s too much difference between where we are now and our desired future state, then there may not be enough impetus for change 

– so, try setting goals slightly beyond your current capabilities rather than aiming for perfection right out of the gate.

The next step is visualizing yourself as already having achieved whatever goal has been set by defining what success looks like (in other words seeing “what” needs changing). See yourself achieving this goal over time (“how”). 

You might even consider drawing pictures or writing essays about how things would look after achieving success with any given task – whatever helps keep us focused on our objective.

Write it down and visualize it.

I’m going to repeat this: Write your goals down and visualize them. You can use a journal or dream board, which are great tools for keeping track of your progress and ensuring you stay on track. 

I like using index cards because they’re portable, but you can use whatever works for you.

The key here is to consistently track your progress so that it becomes automatic and second nature over time. 

Have fun with it! Just make sure not to get too hung up on perfection—it’s more important that you write something down than what form that writing takes.

See yourself as the person you’re becoming.

The most important thing to remember is that you can’t change who you are overnight. 

You can speed up the process, but it takes time to form new habits and create a new lifestyle.

If you want to be an entrepreneur, visualize yourself as the person who just launched their company with great success. 

If your goal is weight loss, find people who support your actions and use them as role models. Looking at their success will motivate and inspire you.

You’ll also want to eliminate any negative influences in your subconscious mind and life—if there are people around who don’t support your goals and dreams, find other ways to spend their time together (they may have some advice on how not to achieve those things).

Believe that you can have what you want, and believe in yourself.

An essential part of training your subconscious mind is believing that you can have what you want and believing in yourself.

As much as we may try to fake it, there’s no way to trick the subconscious mind into thinking something is true when it isn’t. 

You need to believe in yourself, and your abilities before your goal will be achieved on a subconscious level.

Make it a habit to think positively about yourself, who you are, and what you want to achieve.

• Be patient. Positive thinking is a habit that can be cultivated, but it takes time and effort. It’s important to remember that your mind doesn’t always want to change its way of thinking. 

You need to give it time for the positive thoughts you’ve planted in your subconscious mind to take root and grow into something strong enough for you to see results from them.

• Be consistent in your efforts. Suppose you don’t regularly reinforce the positive ideas planted in your subconscious mind. In that case, they will fade away again just as quickly as they appeared when you first began meditating on them—perhaps even faster than before.
• Keep trying until it becomes second nature to think positively about yourself, who you are, and what you want to achieve at all times throughout your day-to-day life; 

then, when something negative happens (like accidentally burning dinner), remind yourself, “this too shall pass” before moving on with no regrets or guilt attached when possible (but not necessarily all the time).

Be patient.

Training your subconscious mind to help you get what you want is a process, and the first step is being patient. It takes time to accomplish anything worthwhile. 

So don’t worry if you don’t see results immediately; keep doing the work and being persistent, dedicated, consistent, and determined. Eventually, it will start paying off for your subconscious mind.

The first step is to decide exactly what you want.

The first step is to decide exactly what you want. You can’t expect your subconscious mind to give you something if you don’t know what it is, so make sure that you have a clear picture of the outcome in your mind before moving on to the next step.

Next, write down your goal and visualize yourself achieving it. Write it down on paper or in an app like Evernote and visualize your subconscious mind achieving this goal repeatedly until it’s burned into your brain as reality. 

Remember, visualization works. After all, our subconscious minds don’t differentiate between an event that happened versus one that never came to pass because we didn’t believe hard enough for it to happen.

You should also try being patient with yourself as this process takes time; however, once the belief hits the home subconscious mind, anything can happen!
