How the Unconscious Mind Generates Habits (And How to Change Them)

You've probably heard how it takes 21 days to make a habit. But the ones who know the unconscious mind, know the real underlying mechanism of forming habits. How important it is to have those unconscious elements in order to really have power in our lives!

Building Up Habits

The unconscious mind need a fair amount of repetition to build up habits. Repeating behaviors lock into the unconscious mind until they eventually take over, considered the new "normal".

We are always conditioning the unconscious mind, whether we know it or not. This works with both good and bad habits. Repeating unhealthy behaviors without even realizing it is how they get set up in the first place. 

Forming New Habits 

Patterns and actions must be repeated until the unconscious mind takes over. According to some researchers, this can take anywhere from 14 to 21 days.

However, NLP can use specific visualization and mind re-mapping techniques that can short circuit the timeline and cause transformation in an instant. This can be used to discard bad habits and replacing them with good ones.

Deepening into the learnings of NLP transforms your own life, your patient's, clients, and the people in your life.

Namaste,
