The Psychology of Wealth
Monday, January 30th, 2012
The Psychology of Wealth notes that most people don’t apply a fraction of the new stuff they learn. There’s always something stopping them and it’s the very thing that causes underachievement relative to their innate potential.
The conscious part of you wants to do things and often feels restless and frustrated because it can’t get any traction and it can’t achieve what’s important to you. Something prevents the action part of your brain from responding to the desire part of your brain.
On your journey to economic and personal freedom, you’re always going to bump into contradictory forces. Some forces see you pushing past fears and achieving all your dreams.
Most forces are designed to keep you locked into underachievement and locked into your fears.
The psychology of wealth means understanding an important concept before you can progress. Between your subconscious and conscious mind lies what psychologists call your “critical faculty”. It’s a powerful psychological filtering mechanism that monitors every thought or idea that comes into your awareness. It rejects anything that doesn’t resonate with information that’s previously been accepted by your subconscious mind as being “true” for you.
Unbeknown to your conscious mind, if you’ve previously accepted that financial freedom is not possible for you, or you believe you’re not clever enough, or that you don’t deserve happiness, or that you don’t have the time, as far as your subconscious mind is concerned, these are “truths” and it’ll reject any information to the contrary.
Your subconscious mind is where you find powerful drivers for action. Problem is that it mainly operates on old instructions, old programs and the information stored in old beliefs and values and past experiences. Broadly speaking, the conscious mind acts on your desire for knowledge and information, for learning new stuff and dreaming big dreams.
No matter how much your conscious mind might want something, unless you change the programs of your subconscious mind, your “critical faculty” will ensure that nothing gets through to the action part of your brain and that you remain stuck with old results.
For the most part, messages from the conscious mind cannot get through to the subconscious mind because the filters of the critical faculty are clogged with old ideas and beliefs, with fears and doubts, worries and stress, excuses and stories, uncertainty and old conditioning. It’s why people repeat the same mistakes over and over again.
Learning how to “unclog” your critical faculty is the most exciting learning you can ever do. New and exciting neuroscience and neuroeconomic research reveals that by applying new learning, not only are you able to clear your filters, you open up new pathways between the desire and action parts of your brain. It’s one of the main secrets of millionaires.
Just imagine, with these secrets of success on board, in a few short months from now, you could completely avoid more years of sameness, settling for less and putting yourself last. You’ll be able to reclaim your dreams and achieve the results that are important to you.
You become more productive and get twice as much done with half the effort. It’s not hard; it just takes some new knowledge and a bit of dedication. You can even get some of it to become automatic so you don’t have to work so hard.
A series of complimentary webinars on this topic is being delivered to those enrolled in The Ten Steps To Wealth eCourse. The first of these begins on Thursday 2nd of Feb 7.30pm to 8.30pm Perth time in Western Australia. If you’re registered at www.tenstepstowealth.com but can’t make the time slot, a recording will be made available.
You can learn to unshackle the power of your mind and have wealth, happiness, choice and freedom as measurable results. Most importantly, you’ll have an inner knowing, an inner confidence that you can now control any outcome you want to experience, have or be: that’s the value of the psychology of wealth.
