Understand the system: what is really happening?

Your subconscious is just reacting in autopilot mode and you don’t understand what’s going on. That’s why you’re having these thoughts and experiencing this feeling.

There is no relation to reality. There is no danger whatsoever.

You have generated these thoughts and feelings unconsciously and unintentionally. They don’t come because something is wrong with you.

Why the thoughts and feelings come.

Your subconscious works with an algorithm, just like Instagram or Facebook, for example. When certain topics are displayed to you and you interact with them or react to them, you program your personal algorithm. This recognizes,

• what you focus on
• what you react to
• what you interact with

Based on this information, the algorithm then automatically compiles posts or topics that match your interests and shows you more of this relevant content.

Your subconscious mind works in the same way. If you react to thoughts or feelings of fear, worry, doubt etc. by, for example, withdrawing, brooding endlessly or trying to get rid of these thoughts and feelings, then your subconscious concludes that you are interested in these topics. Otherwise you would not react to them. As a result, it automatically sends you more of these thoughts and feelings.

Your subconscious does not understand why you are preoccupied with something. It only registers what you are dealing with.

Why is that?

Your subconscious considers what you focus on to be essential for survival – otherwise there would be no reason to focus on it.

The reason for this: for hundreds of thousands of years, we humans have only focused on what was important for survival. It was all about protection from natural hazards and the search for food.

This is why the master belief has become established: what you focus on is important for your survival.

If you …

– focus on worst-case thoughts (what could happen…),

– mentally deal with anxiety, react to it (try to get rid of it, treat it, look for solutions, etc….),

– permanently check whether the fear is still there,

– and you have repeated all this so often that your subconscious has developed an automatic algorithm,

your subconscious, your algorithm, will constantly deliver these thoughts and feelings to you, because you react and interact to them every time. If they didn’t interest you, you wouldn’t react to or interact with them.

Just like Instagram recognizes what you look at, your subconscious recognizes what you look at internally or what you interact with, what you react to. And then it shows you more of it. Because it thinks you’re interested.

Keep in mind: if you constantly check whether fear is still there, you give it meaning again = interest = relevance!

The 3 illusions that create the feeling and keep it alive.

You must expose these errors in thinking immediately:

1. These thoughts are important.
   No – they are just echoes of your previous reactions and interactions. You have repeatedly reacted to certain thoughts or perceptions. This has become an automatic belief system – an algorithm. This now generates your thoughts and therefore your feelings without you knowing why.

Instagram shows you topics that you used to be interested in. It doesn’t know that you are now interested in other topics or would prefer to see other topics. The fact is: the topics of the past are not important!

2. Something bad could happen.
   No – this is the worst-case scenario program of your subconscious, an evolutionary remnant. Your subconscious always assumes the worst, as this has ensured human survival for thousands of years. The logic behind this: if you are standing in front of a forest at night and hear unfamiliar noises, it is safer to assume the worst (tiger) than to simply walk into the forest without a second thought. This increases your probability of survival.

Your subconscious tries to keep you safe by assuming the worst. It tries to protect you from the unknown. However, this keeps you trapped in the known – even if it doesn’t make you feel good. The logic: the known is safer than the unknown – even if the unknown is a version of you that feels good! You react by withdrawing and interacting with the fear = giving it relevance. You confirm the algorithm, because withdrawal means safety.

3. If I fight the fear, then it should disappear.
   No – this is the fear paradox: if you want to get rid of the thought/feeling, you focus on it. This means you react to it and thus give the thoughts/feeling meaning. In turn, your subconscious concludes that these thoughts/feelings are important for your survival, otherwise you would not react to them – interact with them. You would ignore it.

You are constantly thinking about getting rid of fear. Your subconscious concludes that constantly thinking about getting rid of fear is important for survival. Consequence: more fear so that you can think more about getting rid of it.

Your subconscious doesn’t understand why you are focusing on something. It cannot distinguish between – I am afraid – and – I don’t want to be afraid -. Both mean focus on fear. It only registers focus and your reaction/interaction. When the thoughts or feelings come and you try to deal with them, your subconscious concludes that dealing with these thoughts/feelings must be important for survival. The result: more of it.

Why the thoughts and the feeling remain.

Because:

– You deal with it (I want to get rid of it = focus = relevance)

– You try to solve or fight it (commitment = importance)

– You don’t install a new algorithm (no new focus – lack of action)

Your subconscious does not understand whether you like thoughts / feelings or not – it only registers whether you are dealing with them – reacting to them.

Employment = Reaction = Utilization = Importance

The old algorithm is still active (which you don’t want). You have to help your subconscious program a new algorithm (which you want). Just like you start looking at other topics on Instagram and ignore the old ones so that the algorithm now shows you more content on the new topics.

How to bring the system back under your control.

Step 1: Destroy the illusion

– There is no real threat.
– They are just automatic thoughts, suggestions from the old algorithm.
– They only appear because I have programmed my subconscious in this way.
– And now I want to reprogram it because I have new interests.
– I decide what counts – and the old no longer counts.

Understand:
There is nothing wrong with you.
You are not in danger.
You only receive thoughts that match your old algorithm.
You programmed this algorithm in the past, so you can do it again now!

But: Your subconscious tries to keep you in the known (state), as the new state (fear-free) represents the unknown. Your subconscious doesn’t know the difference between the states, it only recognizes the known and the unknown.

Therefore, you must not react to the thoughts and feelings it sends you, but consciously decouple yourself from them.

Step 2: use the No Thank You method to disconnect.

Say out loud or inwardly:

– No thanks, I’m not interested – I’m going for a walk right now.
– No thanks, I’m not interested – I’m touching this pillow right now.
– No thanks, I’m not interested – I’m eating right now.

It’s not about the size of the action. It’s all about focus! You program your algorithm: No thanks, I’m no longer interested in this topic, I’m now interested in other topics – real perceptions and actions in the now. Just like you click on the – I’m not interested – button on Instagram or no longer react to content, but look at other content instead.

Why it works:

– You immediately create distance to your thoughts and feelings (no interaction / no reaction). You remove their relevance.
– You redirect your focus (you no longer focus on what you don’t want).
– You show your subconscious what is important now (you focus on what you want).

Every time you do this, you overwrite the old algorithm with a new algorithm. Your subconscious mind registers that the old algorithm is losing its importance and the new one is now valid. The old one is therefore no longer important for survival. As your subconscious wants to ensure your survival, it will automatically stop using the old algorithm, as it is no longer valid and using it could jeopardize your survival. Therefore, it uses the new algorithm and the old one disappears on its own.

Step 3: replace reaction and interaction with inspired action

Ask yourself:

What would be a realistic action now?
(An insignificant action is enough: drinking a glass of water, opening a window, tidying up, looking in the fridge, starting a conversation, going for a walk, contacting someone, etc.).

There are thousands of options at any given time!

Then say to yourself:

That’s interesting for me now.

What happens next:

You have a new thought: inspired action. And you now react to this thought. The subconscious mind always follows your focus/reaction and interaction. Therefore, the type of action isn’t so important. What matters, is that you are no longer reacting to the old thoughts, but reacting to the new thoughts – with an inspired action.

New algorithm: inspired actions are now more important than reacting to old thoughts!

Step 4: stay consistent and disciplined

Every time you break the old loop and consciously replace it with an inspired action, your algorithm changes.
The more often you do it, the weaker the old feeling becomes – until it becomes irrelevant.

– The plan is not to get rid of the feeling.
– The plan is to redirect the focus and respond to other things.
– The plan is to remove the relevance.

You are depriving the feeling of the fuel it needs to exist!

It’s never about getting rid of something or fighting against it. It’s always about realigning your focus so that you can program a new algorithm.

Always focus your mind on what you want, never on what you don’t want!

Don’t think so much, just act. Spend more time in reality – with actions – than in illusion – with thoughts.
