Lessons on self-sabotage.
Tonight I had a nightmare with a happy ending.
I dreamt that I was looking for a bar to go pee. And I went into half a dozen bars, and there was no WC in any of them.
Fortunately, the alarm clock went off, and I realized I wanted to go to the toilet.
And I started to think that my nightmare was my subconscious protecting me from myself so as not to wet my bed sheets.
And I started to reflect.
Daddy subconscious
Our subconscious is like Santa Claus’ sack; it fits everything. And we have been putting information in it since we were born.
Therefore, our subconscious has more information stored in it than what we use at a conscious level.
That is why the subconscious self-sabotage us.
Because what it does is protect us from ourselves, even if we do not understand it, like me in the dream.
If my subconscious had not designed a world with bars without bathrooms in my dream, I would have ended up pissing myself.
The bitter reality
We think we are ready for success, fame, money, etc. But it’s not true.
That’s why our subconscious always self-sabotages us, because according to its metadata,
If we win the lottery, we will not know how to manage money and end up screwing up our health due to excesses.
If we become famous, we will not be able to withstand the pressure of the haters and end up with horse depression.
If we achieve our goal, we will become someone we don’t want or are not ready to be.
How can we change it to stop self-sabotaging ourselves?
Daddy subconscious wants your conscious self to be a good son.
Then, the most logical thing to do is to show him that we are ready for what we want so much: fame, money, success, [Insert your greatest desire here].
To do this, we must start earning steadily every day for the subconscious to understand that we can handle success.
How to do it?
With small, daily victories.
If you show responsibility for eating healthy, stop smoking and drinking, and start doing sports. Eventually, the subconscious allows you to face new and stimulating challenges.
If you start showing responsibility in using and managing money and don’t waste it. In that case, the subconscious stops screwing you every time you start a project, and you finally achieve financial independence.
If you show your subconscious that you are working on your self-esteem and that you are improving as a human being, it will stop self-sabotaging you on Tinder dates 🙂
Conclusion
If we collect certainties, feed our subconscious with facts that refute its data, and demonstrate that we can manage success, it is very likely that as a good parent, the subconscious will let us drive the car of life.
