On the journey to unleash your Proverbs 31 leader, one of the most powerful tools to ignite change is the ability to reprogram negative subconscious drivers to be the empowered entity God created you to be.

Understanding the Subconscious Mind

Before delving into the process of reprogramming, it's important to remember the nature of the subconscious mind.

In other words, your subconscious mind controls the behaviors and actions that you take without being aware that you're taking them, or being conscious of why you do it.?

The unfortunate reality is that when negative drivers propel these actions and behaviors, they completely undermine capacity to live a purpose-driven life or to achieve heartfelt desires and dreams. That’s why it’s critical when you realize there are negative drivers prompting actions that undermine your capacity to live your best life, you must take action to stop the madness.? If the subconscious drivers are a result of an extremely traumatic incident or a traumatic childhood, your best strategy is to seek counselling to help you on the journey. However, the following strategies are a way to begin the journey to at least identify where you are.

Once identified, challenge these beliefs by questioning their validity and where they came from.

2.???? Practice Affirmations: Once you can identify negative behaviors that have negatively impacted you living your best life in the most positive way, then it's time 2 challenge those negative thoughts and drivers as they arise.

For example, "I am a confident and capable leader who inspires others to greatness."? Recite each empowering affirmations until you begin to believe it.

3.???? Visualization Techniques: Visualization involves mentally seeing what you say and believing that you will have it. This is much more than seeing a picture and saying it's nice and you want it.

Visualize yourself leading with confidence, making impactful decisions, and inspiring others to greatness. Visualization helps to imprint positive images and emotions on the subconscious mind, reinforcing your desired outcomes.
