Success and Failure: Will Power vs. Your Subconscious Programming

Color Commentary for Monday, November 19, 2007
By Michael Lovitch

''Your life is the sum result of all the choices you make, both consciously and unconsciously. If you can control the process of choosing, you can take control of all aspects of your life. You can find the freedom that comes from being in charge of yourself.''
~ Robert F. Bennett

A Powerful Idea Who's Time Has Come...

Introduction by E. R. Haas, CEO

When we initially created the huge TQ performance database, one central question guided our extensive research: Why do some people succeed brilliantly — almost effortlessly — while others, with equal talent and intelligence... struggle just to make it through the day... living from paycheck to paycheck with no real progress made towards achieving their dreams and goals?

Ultimately, the question became, ''Why do smart people fail?''

After ten years, and millions of dollars of research, the answer, it turns out, is quite simple...

Smart people fail because they fail to consistently take smart actions! It is no more complicated than that.

With tens of millions of data points, we have learned that there is a direct, almost perfect correlation between the actions you take — day-in, day-out — and your overall level of satisfaction, happiness and success in life.

Over time, we concluded that success is in your DNA:

When you take swift ACTION to optimize the use of your precious time... when you take bold ACTION to overcome uncertainty, fear and doubt... when you take positive ACTION to change your mood when your attitude starts to turn negative... you INSTANTLY transform your performance from mediocre to excellent quite literally in a heartbeat... moving you TOWARDS the success you desire!

Thus, the key to success however you define it: Wealth... Power... or Happiness is found in your DNA... your D)o-it N)ow A)ctions!

Without question, successful people consistently take SMARTER ACTIONS than those who constantly find themselves in the throws of failure, disappointment and unfulfilled hopes and dreams.

Smart people know they should maintain a healthy diet and weight... they know they should exercise regularly... they know they should quit smoking... they know they should write down their goals, plan and to-do lists... they know they should be taking more action — both personally and professionally.

But for some reason, they don't consistently take the actions they KNOW will make make a huge difference in their lives... and lead them to the success they desire.

Why? Is it just a matter of Will Power?

As Michael will tell you below, you've got to take control of your WHOLE BRAIN now with The TQ Accelerator Bundle: Real Hypnosis From Real Psychologists!

Actually, the question of Will Power is both complex and simple at the same time.

The reason is beautifully summarized by Hypnosis Network CEO, Michael Lovitch:

''I know what actions to take, but I just don't take them.''

If this sounds like you then you are not alone — and it is not your fault.

Often the barriers to taking the actions you know you need to take in order to be successful are well BELOW your level of awareness and consciousness.

Behavioral scientists have clinically proven that beliefs about your self-worth, what you deserve, where you stand in the pecking order, whether you should be listened to or not, and whether you deserve to be truly successful were formed BEFORE you even had a conscious mind... USUALLY BEFORE THE AGE OF SIX!

These beliefs and programs exist at a deep level, and if they don't support you, they can sabotage you in many ways.

For example, if you have attempted to set goals, but only do it half heartedly — and find yourself not taking the whole process seriously — it is more than likely that you have deep programming telling yourself that you are not worthy of your goals. No matter what you do consciously to change this will be fruitless because you have to address the blocks at the same level in which they were created.

The only scientifically documented method for accessing and changing deep seated beliefs and habits is Clinical Hypnosis.

Hypnosis is a state of focused attention that allows you to undo the programming that is holding you back and create new programming that supports your conscious goals. Whether it be getting to and maintaining a healthy weight, having the ability to take action on your goals, or permanently giving up bad habits — successful people are able to create unconscious rituals which support their goals.

Hypnosis is by far the fastest and safest way to get rid of the junk and harness the full potential of the unconscious mind.

In a way, this is what the concept of "Will Power" is all about. The power of our shear will against our ingrained habits... causing us to take the actions we know we should take!

How Much Will Power Do You Really Have?

According to a fascinating experiment published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, just one act of self-control depletes your ability to have self-control in another unrelated area.

For example, when subjects were told not to eat chocolates sitting right in front of them, their persistence in puzzle solving deteriorated. When they were told to suppress an emotional reaction to a movie, they had problems solving a solvable anagram. The list goes on and on.

The take home is that we all have a limited capacity for conscious self-control. (No wonder it is so hard to stay away from the chocolate chip cookies!)

Think about your everyday life and how many times you tell yourself you are going to do something and you don't — well this is your excuse! Your conscious mind simply can't handle too many acts of will without sacrificing on the quality of your other tasks — so your unconscious mind basically decides to let you eat the cookie so you can get on with your life...

Of course some people are able to pull off what appears to be WILL POWER.

People do succeed at dieting, smoking cessation, overcoming stage fright, constant procrastination and a whole lot more.

How do they do it?

A key is developing what Jim Loehr and Tony Schwartz (two amazing performance coaches) call, "rituals".

Because we have such a low capacity for conscious acts of self control, we need to develop productive unconscious rituals.

These are behaviors we don't even have to think about. Brushing your teeth every morning is a ritual that (hopefully) you don't even think about — therefore it doesn't detract from your overall performance.

You can practice behaviors in small doses so that they eventually become rituals AND you can speed up this process by using tools such as hypnosis.

Again, hypnosis is a state of focused attention that allows you to bridge the conscious — unconscious interface.

I know this sounds a little crazy, and for a long time I thought it was crazy as well.

However, the scientific proof is in, and WHY this works may surprise you! The simple truth is that our CONSCIOUS mind is very "inefficient" vs. our SUBCONSCIOUS mind.

Think about it like this, and this is a PROVEN FACT: Your conscious mind is only able to process approximately 50 bits of information a second, while your unconscious mind processes approximately 11 million bits per second. This means your unconscious mind processes information 220 THOUSAND TIMES FASTER than your conscious mind.

The Message is Clear...

Remove the barriers to taking action, and you will find success beyond your wildest expectations. Don't, and you will remain in the clutches of failed expectations, hopes and dreams for the rest of your life.

Through my personal experience and now after witnessing thousands of normal people successfully make changes through this powerful combination — I have changed my mind (literally).
