The Knowing: Part 4 - What's Getting in Your Way
Change Your Thoughts, Change Your Life — Stop Letting Subconscious Programming Run the Show (5 Part Self Coaching Intensive)
You’re not confused. You’re scared. There’s a difference.
Yesterday, you tapped into your body’s innate wisdom. You began to feel the whispers of “yes” and “no.” So why does the path forward still feel muddy?
Because fear is sneaky. It wears disguises like confusion, logic, and “being realistic.”
You’ve been taught to follow the rules. To keep people happy. To weigh every decision carefully. And so, even when you know something in your gut, you talk yourself out of it. You make a pros/cons list. You ruminate. You wait for a sign. You stay stuck in indecision — or worse, inaction.
Not because you’re incapable of making aligned moves.
But because your mind has been quietly running a program that says:
“It’s safer to stay where you are… even if you’re unhappy.”
What’s Actually Running the Show?
Your subconscious mind.
You’re not consciously choosing to stall or stay small. But your subconscious — the part of your brain responsible for over 90% of your decisions — is playing an old script. One you didn’t write.
Let’s say you grew up hearing, “Play it safe,” or “Don’t rock the boat.” Eventually, those messages stop sounding like advice and start sounding like truth.
And if no one ever taught you to question them… you don’t.
Instead, they become the default playlist in your head. Always running in the background. And because it’s familiar, you don’t notice it anymore. But it’s still controlling what you do — or don’t do.
Think of your subconscious mind like the GPS in your car. It’s always directing you — but it’s programmed based on old destinations. So even when your soul wants to go somewhere new, the GPS keeps rerouting you back to familiar streets.
Until you reprogram it… you’ll keep ending up where you don’t want to be.
Common Limiting Beliefs That Keep You Stuck:
“I’m not ready.”
“What if I fail… or succeed?”
“I don’t want to disappoint anyone.”
“It’s selfish to want more.”
“I don’t deserve it.”
“I need to wait until I have it all figured out.”
And deeper blocks like:
Chronic overthinking
Compulsive people-pleasing
Waiting for permission or perfect timing
These aren’t personality flaws. They’re survival strategies. Internalized from your upbringing, culture, family, or trauma. These stories helped you stay safe — but now they’re keeping you small.
It’s Time to Choose a New Story.
You don’t rewire limiting beliefs overnight — but you can start creating small moments that signal to your brain and body: “We’re safe now. We can choose differently.”
Here’s how:
Reprogramming in Real Time – Micro Practice
Step 1: Identify the Fear-Story
What’s one recurring belief that shows up when you think about taking a next step in your misaligned life area?
Example: “I’m not ready to leave this job.”
Step 2: Question It
Where did this belief come from? Who taught you this?
Is it 100% true?
Step 3: Choose a Counter-Truth
What’s an empowering belief you can practice instead?
Try: “I may not know every step, but I trust myself to figure it out.”
Step 4: Feel It in Your Body
Say that new truth out loud.
Notice how your body responds. Does anything soften? Open? Breathe into that sensation.
Step 5: Take Micro-Action
What’s one small move you can make this week to prove this new belief?
Not a big leap. Just one shift. A boundary. A conversation. An inquiry. An email.
Small actions shift the pattern. You don’t need to see the whole staircase — you just need to take the next right step.
Self Reflection & Journal Prompts
What belief is keeping me from making a change I know I need to make?
Where did this story originate? Is it really mine?
What fear would I have to face in order to move forward?
What might be possible if I released that fear?
What new belief do I want to operate from instead?
What’s one small action I can take this week to anchor that belief?
