Have you ever had the experience of knowing what you should do, but not actually doing it? If so,?you're not alone.
In fact, there's a name for this phenomenon: the knowing-doing gap. The knowing-doing gap occurs when our conscious mind knows what we should do, but?our subconscious mind—which controls our thoughts, feelings, and actions—doesn't follow suit.
So why does this happen? And more importantly, how can we bridge the gap so that we can finally start doing what we know we should be doing?
The answer?lies in our habits and limiting beliefs. We all have them—habits that keep us stuck in patterns of behavior that don't serve us, and beliefs that hold us back from reaching our full potential.
These habits and beliefs were programmed into our subconscious mind by family, friends, teachers, and others starting from a young age.
And unless we take the time to reprogram our subconscious mind with new, empowering habits and beliefs, those old programming will continue to control our thoughts, feelings, actions, and results.
So how can we start bridging the knowing-doing gap??The first step?is becoming aware of the old programming running your life.
This might involve some soul-searching to uncover the deeper reasons why you're not doing what you know you should be doing.
Once you have a better understanding of your old programming, you can start to overwrite it with new programming—new habits and new beliefs that will support you in achieving your goals.
