Reprogram Your Mind for Success in 21 Days

We take 95% of our decisions from the subconscious mind. That is, what you think is your choice is actually being done by your subconscious mind. We often think we are demotivated, afraid, or hesitating, but actually, it is a powerful part of your brain that goes against you. When this part goes towards us rather than against us, your biggest fears end, your hesitation ends, and you remain full of energy and passion.

The Subconscious Powerhouse: Understanding Your Iceberg

Just as most parts of an iceberg are hidden under water, our subconscious mind is many times bigger and more powerful than our conscious mind. Its power is based on three key things:

Unlimited Memory Bank: It is like a big memory bank that permanently stores everything, and its capacity is virtually unlimited. The human brain can process approximately 11 million bits of information per second, but our conscious mind can only process 40 bits. Stanford University’s Dr. Bruce Lipton states that the subconscious mind is one million times more powerful than the conscious mind.
The Placebo Effect: When people were given pills without any medicine and told they were receiving powerful medicine, many started recovering. This is because our subconscious mind believes, and our body responds.
Hypnosis: Through this activity, people can clearly remember past events that happened many years ago, proving our subconscious is filled with data.

Understanding Belief Patterns: The Tale of Titu and Sonu

Whatever we are today—how capable or incapable—depends on our belief patterns. Let’s understand this with an example of two boys, Titu and Sonu.

Titu’s Pattern: When Titu was growing up, he heard phrases like “money does not grow on trees” and “Is your father an ATM?” His uncle used to say earning money is very difficult. As Titu grew up, he was always stressed about money; he prioritized stability and feared risk.
Sonu’s Pattern: Sonu’s father told him to work hard, and money would keep coming. Sonu always thought about how to grow and take calculated risks. Even if he was afraid, he did not stop.

Titu and Sonu’s childhoods and the people around them shaped their beliefs. If you don’t control your brain, then your brain controls you. Just as we update a phone when its features become outdated, the patterns and beliefs that are no longer practical need to be changed.

Step 1: Identify Limiting Beliefs

The initial stage of brain reprogramming involves comprehending your beliefs and pinpointing your limiting beliefs.
A limiting belief is a conviction that constrains your personal and professional development.
Albert Einstein once remarked that accepting our limitations is the very first step toward transcending them.

Create a Thought Journal: Make a note in your phone or notebook. Whenever you get a negative thought about yourself, write it down.
Analyse the Beliefs: If you think, “I can’t make videos” or “I can’t speak on stage,” write it down. When you think deeply about your negative beliefs, you realize that they have no base.

Step 2: Manage Your Dopamine

High-stimulating activities like scrolling on social media, binge-watching web series, and gaming provide a quick dopamine hit. Conversely, low-stimulating activities like learning, taking training, or patiently working for goals provide a slow hit.

It is natural for our brains to want to do things that give us pleasure quickly. However, if you deliberately reduce the things that provide short-term pleasure, your focus shifts to long-term goals and better future decisions. This is often referred to as a Dopamine Detox.

Step 3: Practice Mindfulness

helps us recognize automatic reactions like anger when cut off in traffic and adjust by observing thoughts and emotions.

· Focused Meditation: Take out some time and focus on your breathing. Even if your attention wanders, bringing it back works.

· Brain Changes: According to a study by Harvard, doing mindfulness meditation regularly changes parts of your brain that control emotions.

Step 4: Cultivate Gratitude

Imagine a bad land full of stones and sand; you cannot grow flowers in it. If you want to grow big dreams, first you have to make the land fertile. We often find ourselves in a negative loop, listening to negative news and complaining.

The “Chat with Yourself”: Take time to think about what you have got. If you have a roof over your head, thank God, as many are homeless. If you have a whole body, thank God, as many do not.
Positive Emotions: When emotions are positive, only then will life be positive. Abdul Kalam Ji said that gratitude is necessary to be inspired to do better.

Step 5: Visualize Your Success

When you visualize your dreams, you register them in your subconscious mind. This activates your (as implied by “neurons activated”) and neural pathways. Your subconscious begins guiding you from your current state to your desired state.

Techniques for Different Learning Styles

Verbal Learners

If you grasp concepts best through reading or writing, restate your goals in your own words and read them aloud— even to yourself—to cement them.

Auditory Learners

If hearing information helps you remember, record your mental images and play them back whenever you have a spare moment.

Visual Learners:
If images resonate with you, set up a single-person group and post pictures of your goals—so you see them again every day.

Step 6: Affirmations and Mirror Work

Heightened Awareness: When looking in the mirror, you are not just speaking; you are seeing yourself, which deepens the impact.
Affirmations: Shah Rukh Khan has always used positive affirmations to remind himself of his worth. You can do this by looking in the mirror or recording affirmations to listen to every day.

The 21-Day Challenge: Why 21 Days?

Dr. Maxwell Maltz, a plastic surgeon, noticed it took about for his patients to get used to a new face or body part. He shared this in his book , stating that in 21 days we can form new habits and reprogram our minds.

The Strategy: For a minimum of 21 days, avoid high-stimulating activities so the mind gets space to focus. Do not judge the results after just 2 or 4 days; commit to the full 21 days.

Signs of Progress

Understanding the subconscious mind is tricky, but there are hints to know if it is being reprogrammed:

Increased Self-Awareness: You start catching your negative talk and understanding your limiting beliefs.
Taking Small Risks: You start getting out of your comfort zone, like raising your hand early for an opportunity.
Increased Happiness: Your positivity and joy have improved more than before. Positive results come from a positive mind.

Conclusion

If you bring change in yourself every day, grow yourself, and make this country better, we become partners in success. Start your today—be bored with high stimulation, get rich with low stimulation, and reprogram your mind for the life you deserve.
