// A tip to Reprogram Your Subconscious! 🧠 Shift Your Identity With Lofty Questions We have all recited positive affirmations at some point in our lives. But they have two inherent limitations:
Instead, there's a more powerful technique to trick the mind that bypasses your current self-image and eradicates self-doubt. Present your mind a "lofty question" by asking it a question starting with “why.” So instead of saying, “I am so confident” or “I am so creative,” you ask:
The mind loves questions — and you can amp up the impact this has on your subconscious by incorporating an element of identity to your question.
To create your own identity-based lofty questions:

Conviction is the bedrock of your voice as a conscious creator—a force that cannot be found in books, others, or institutions; it is only discovered within. Once you embrace it energetically, there’s no turning back. It becomes the guardian of your creative path. It cannot be any other way. Robert Frost wrote: “You’re always believing ahead of your evidence. What was the evidence I could write a poem? I just believed it. The most creative thing in us is to believe in a thing.” With that said though, we are pack animals and the seedlings of our belief must take root from somewhere. All it takes is one person to truly see us. Who might that be for you? E.E. Cummings wrote: “We do not believe in ourselves until someone reveals that deep inside us something is valuable, worth listening to, worthy of our trust, sacred to our touch. Once we believe in ourselves we can risk curiosity, wonder, spontaneous delight or any experience that reveals the human spirit.” Enjoy the newsletter?

Then, they would watch the canoe sail out off to sea and keep watching as it sail right over the horizon. Drawing inspiration from that tradition, this guided meditation is designed to help you let go of any of the following.:
🎧 Listen to the meditation (15 minutes) // Parting words 🔥 And finally, a small experiment to explore your own consciousness and sense of self. The Austrian poet, Rainer Maria Rilke, wrote: “I am so glad you are here. It helps me realize how beautiful my world is." Stand before a mirror, look into your eyes, and whisper these words to yourself. Repeat them slowly with presence and gentleness for about a minute. Keep gazing into your eyes as you speak these words. Then, consider:

Hey there conscious creator! Take a look at this quote — which is one of my all-time favorites: Nature loves courage. You make the commitment and nature will respond to that commitment by removing impossible obstacles. Dream the impossible dream and the world will not grind you under, it will lift you up. This is the trick. This is what all these teachers and philosophers who really counted, who really touched the alchemical gold, this is what they understood. This is the shamanic dance in...
Hey there conscious creator! An interesting question was posed to me this week: How do I consciously create the life I desire and shift my identity to become the person I know I‘m destined to be when shit keeps happening around me that pushes me further away from that? I love that question — because it strikes at the heart of our journey. Translation: How do you step back into your power when it feels like the outside world is messing with you? Life is unpredictable, and we can't control...
Hey there conscious creator! Welcome to a special “Identity Shifting” edition of the You Are A Conscious Creator Newsletter. That’s right. This edition is all about Identity Shifting!
