Proctor learned directly under the wings of Earl Nightingale, who was the protégé
of Napoleon Hill, the father of personal development who wrote the phenomenal
“Think and Grow Rich”. Today, Proctor is traveling around the world,
teaching and sharing his ideas and concept on subconscious mind and
attraction. He explained why most people fail to achieve the results they
want and why they fail to attract the things that they desire. And in this
article, you will discover how your subconscious mind works as explained
by Bob Proctor.

Your Mind and Your Body Are Connected

The first thing you need to understand is that your mind and your body are
connected. Basically, your conscious mind chooses the thoughts and
ideas that you are thinking, and then turn them into pictures for your
subconscious mind to process. Your subconscious mind, which cannot
differentiate between what is real and what is imaginary, will express the
reactions and results that are in harmony with the picture you provided.

Most people refer to this as their feelings. In fact, your feelings and emotions
are nothing but the energy vibration in your body.

You have to understand that we are not taught about how our mind and
body work in school. Therefore, most people express their vibration of
energy as feelings. People will tell you how they feel like they are feeling angry
or sad, but you will never hear them saying that they are consciously aware of
the negative ideas and thus going into a negative vibration. No, people will never
tell you this way because they have never learned how their subconscious mind
works.
Now, it is important for you to understand that your mind and your body
and connected because that means you can change the way you feel, or in
other words, you can change your vibration.

While it is true that it is the results in your life that you want to change, but what
gets you results is how you respond to the events in your life. And when you
know that vibrations in your body are actually your feelings and
emotions, you can change how you react to the events in your life.

How Your Subconscious Mind Works

In a nutshell, whatever you see, hear, smell, taste, and touch through your
senses will determine the thoughts you choose through your
conscious mind. And then your conscious mind turns them into pictures
for your subconscious mind to express them as actions.

You Were Programmed Since A Baby

When a baby was born, she does not have a strong conscious mind to think,
rather she will accept whatever that ideas, thoughts, and images that go to her.
Our subconscious mind was programmed genetically when we were born. This is
why we have a similar physical look as our parents.

And as we grow, we learn to pick up ideas, thoughts, and images from the
people around us without questioning them. We will accept most of what has
been threw at when we were a baby because our conscious mind has not fully
developed.

Meaning to say, whatever ideas and thoughts that come to a baby, they will go
straight into their subconscious mind without their conscious mind to filter.

The thing is that a baby does not expose to their parents, ideas and thoughts for
a day or two. As a baby, we are bombarded with thoughts into our subconscious
every single day. Imagine this going on for days, weeks, months, and even
years.

The repetition will create paradigms that dictate how our subconscious
thinks. If the baby was surrounded by highly educated people who value and
emphasize on education, the baby will possess the same thought after she grew
up.

If the baby was surrounded by people who are going through tough times,
not having enough money, and always in debt, the baby will grow up in a
similar pattern.
In his video, Bob Proctor says that was exactly how he was brought up; poor and
went through many tough times and he was programmed to think, “You should
be satisfied with what you got.” And Proctor continues to say, “You should
never be satisfied with what you got. You should be happy with what you
got. Dissatisfaction is a creative state.

Have you ever wonder how do you manage to speak your language? It is
because you have been programmed to do so when you were still a baby. And
just like what Proctor says, some people who were born in Malaysia are able to
speak up to four languages. It is amazing, but that is exactly how they were
conditioned and programmed to do since they were a baby.

Repetition Will Develop Paradigm

Through repetition, the baby will grow up with a paradigm. As a result, they will
think thoughts that are in harmony with their paradigm. Most people have been
raised to believe that going to work is a great way to earn money, which
according to Proctor, working is the worst way to earn money.

Proctor also continues to say, “You should work for satisfaction, not for money.”
However, the problem with most people is that they have the paradigm to think
that working is a great way to earn money. Proctor also says that people are able
to earn money while they sleep, and if you do not believe it or choose to think
that this is just a pipe dream, it is because that is your paradigm. You have been
programmed to think so.

Do you now understand why some people do what they do and why people
fail to produce the outstanding results they desire in life? They have
developed paradigm that controls the way they thought. They have been
conditioned genetically and through their environment since they were a baby.

When it comes to the ability to earn, most people will want to turn their annual
income into their monthly income. Unfortunately, most people will not do that
because their paradigm will stop them.
This is why you can read a book about how to achieve financial freedom,
but you will still stay the same and nothing will change.

You can think one idea in your conscious mind, but subconsciously,
you can have a completely different idea.

Bob Proctor states that paradigms are a multitude of habits

and ideas that have been planted into the subconscious
mind. And your paradigm controls your results in life.

Therefore, if you want to change your life and achieve the successful
results you desire, the first thing you need to do is to change your
paradigm.

How to Change Your Paradigm and

Reprogram Your Subconscious Mind
Your paradigm dictates your logic. It controls how you use your time, perception,
effectiveness and also the amount of money you earn. If you want to change
your life, you must change your paradigm.

Most people do not believe that they can turn their annual income into their
monthly income and this is because their paradigm determines their
thinking. And when their paradigm changes, they will do things differently,
they will see things differently, and they will get different results.

Now you know why you are getting the results you are always getting. It has
nothing to do with your intellect or skills. Your knowledge will tell you how to do
things, but that does not mean that you are going to do it.

This also explains why people can set big goals, but they are not doing anything
about it. A lot of people set their goal as to become a millionaire and they
decided to do so. However, they are not doing anything at all or they fall back to
their old behaviors and keep getting the same old results. This is all because of
their paradigm.

How Bob Proctor Changes His Paradigm

Proctor says in one of his training videos that he used to believe that he could not
do anything better than what he was doing. He did not believe that he can be
successful. The idea of building a company operates around the world is the
furthest thing that he could have imagined.

However, as he changed his paradigm, his whole world

changed. The moment he understands that it is his paradigm that dictates
his results, he repeatedly conditioned himself with thoughts, ideas, and
beliefs that change his life.

This is where Proctor uses affirmations to repeatedly program new ideas into
his subconscious mind. He keeps affirming to himself,

“I am so happy and grateful now that money comes to me in

increasing quantities through multiple sources on a continuous
basis.”

And here is the difference between how Proctor and other people do it.

Bob Proctor says that he practices his affirmations thousands of times a

day. He does it over and over and over again until the repetition of the
message gets into his subconscious mind and becomes his new paradigm.

On the other hand, most people will only do it once and they expect to get
different results in life. You do not go to the gym and workout only for one
day and then expect to have a fit body, right?

You have to do it, exercise in the gym, workout, sweat, and train your body
over and over and over again, for years, to achieve the fit body that you
desire.

When Bob Proctor first started, he even recorded his affirmations on a record
player and then played it in his car while commuting. He literally played the
record over and over again for years. And most people think that he is losing it,
but eventually, he succeeded and became who he is today.
The same goes for reading his favorite book, “Think and Grow Rich”.
Proctor says that he read the book almost every single day even up to
today, he is still reading the same book.

Repetition is how a baby was programmed and it can also be how you can use it
to shift your paradigm.

A lot of successful people may not understand how they manage to

achieve the outstanding results they had in life, but this is exactly what is
going on. They changed their paradigm through repetition, and when their
paradigm shifted, they produce different results that they desire.

The 2 Keys to Changing Your Paradigm

You simply cannot just think and grow rich. You will have to do
something with the thoughts that you project into your mind. And this is
where most people get it wrong when it comes to the Law of Attraction.

A lot of people have the wrong perception and think that as long as they think
about what they want, they will get it. Not at all. Do you still remember

Bob Proctor says that your body is energy and vibration, and in order to
manifest what you want, you must increase your vibration?

This means that merely think about what you want is not enough, you must also
alter your subconscious mind through feelings and emotions.
Here are two simple steps you can take to reprogram and change
your paradigm so that you can attract what you want from the
Universe.

1. Create the idea and image of what you want in your mind vividly
through repetition
Most people learned that they can change their subconscious beliefs through
vividly picturing what they want in their head. The problem is that they
are not doing it often enough. They do it only once in awhile.
What you do each day is more important than what you do once in a while.
Aristotle has a meaningful quote, he said,

“We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence then is not an act, but a
habit.” And he is absolutely right.

Just like how Bob Proctor did it, you must repeat your affirmations over
and over again until your subconscious mind buys into it. When your
subconscious mind accepts the new idea you repeatedly condition
into it, it will become your new paradigm.

Think about it, a baby is programmed since she was born and people around her
repeatedly told her what to do and what not to do. As a result of the
repetition for years, the ideas become real to the baby.

Your subconscious mind does not have the ability to reject what you
feed it, it can only accept the thoughts from your conscious mind.
Therefore, create the ideas and build the picture of what you want in your
mind over and over again.

This is why affirmations and visualization work. When you visualize, you
are bombarding pictures of what you want into your subconscious mind.
And when you do often enough, it becomes real to you.

In fact, science has proven that visualization is effective. There is a study

on a group of basketball players who practice their shooting skill through
visualization.
And the study found that the players who practice via visualization have the
same improvement rate as those who actually did the practice.

Therefore, set goals, write them every single day, practice

affirmations like what Bob Proctor did, and then visualize the success
you want as often as possible.

You can create a vision board to help you in this. When you see the
pictures of the things that you wanted, you reinforce your subconscious
mind about them. The more you think about them, the higher your chances
to manifest them.

Besides that, practice active goal setting. Not just writing down your
goals, but do it every day and review your goals. You have to
constantly project the ideas of your goals into your mind.

Highly successful people do this by constantly thinking about their visions,

their dreams, and their goals. They simply cannot stop thinking about their
business and the things that they want to accomplish in their lives. This is
how high achievers change their paradigm and attract results they desire.

2. Create the feelings and get emotionally involved with the ideas or images
Dr. Maxwell Maltz wrote in his best-selling book, “Psycho-Cybernetics”:

“Picture to yourself what you would like to be and have, and assume
for the moment that such things are possible. Arouse a deep desire for
these things. Become enthusiastic about them. Dwell on them—and keep going
over them in your mind. Your present negative beliefs were formed by
thought plus feelings.

Generate enough emotion or deep feeling, and your new thoughts will
cancel them out.”

It is true that merely thinking about what you want is not going to be as
effective as including emotions and feelings.
This is because your emotions and feelings are the vibrations through your
body. When you increase your vibration, your actions will follow and the
results will change.

When you are feeling good, your vibration frequency will be in alignment
with who you are and what you want. The stronger your feelings, the
greater the vibration alignment.

One great way how you can feel good and raise your vibration is
through the practice of gratitude. Practice to feel thankful and be grateful
for everything that you have in life right now.

You can also create a list of things that you are grateful about. For example, you
can be grateful for your spouse who is always with you, be grateful for your
computer so that you can read this article right now, be grateful that you
are alive and healthy, be grateful for your car, your cat, your dog, your
friends, your family, etc.

When you are feeling grateful and you appreciate everything that you have
with you right at this moment, you will feel good. You will become joyful,
happy and loving. Hence, practice writing down at least ten things that you are
grateful for each morning before you go to work. It can be anything from a
gorgeous sunrise to having a simple yet tasty meal.

Apart from that, if you want to feel good, go and make someone else
happy or feeling good. When you get into the lift with a stranger, smile and
greet her. When you do so, you will make her day and if she returns the favor,
she will make you feel good too. This positive energy will raise your vibration and
help you in achieving what you want.

People often say that if you want to live your dreams, help others live their
dreams and they will help you in return. When you help and make other
people feel good, you are actually elevating your vibration and boosting
your positive energy.
Follow the Process and You Can Manifest
What You Desire
Now that you have understood how your subconscious mind works and
how you can shift your paradigm to achieve what you desire.

All you need to do is to follow the process and start to consciously

condition your subconscious to work for you, not against you.

The universal law will always work, 100% of the time. Just like the

Law of Gravity, you may not see it, but whenever you throw something up,
it will definitely come down, without fail. You do not doubt if gravity exists,
you simply believed in it and it has become a paradigm in your
subconscious mind.

The same goes for the process of how your subconscious mind works as
explained by Bob Proctor. As long as you follow the process and program a
new and empowering paradigm into your mind, you will get the results.

And remember, you must repeatedly program the right ideas or images to
feed your subconscious mind if you want to change your paradigm. Plus,
make sure you associate emotions and feel it when you do so. This will
increase your vibration and improve the process.
