172 Working With Your Subconscious Mind To Achieve Better Results

In today's episode we look at working with the subconscious mind to improve self-awareness, overcome self-doubt and reduce your chances of choking when performing.  My guest, Mental Performance Coach, Brandon Epstein shares his wisdom and gives you some ideas and strategies to keep moving forwards. Key Learning Points: Our subconscious mind can be programmed to help us win or lose. A lot of people are unconsciously incompetent, they lack self-awareness and don't live in the present moment. Self-awareness is crucial to be able to grow and overcome performance plateaus. Start by asking yourself the question - how does my emotional experience start? A lot of athletes crave the feeling of confidence when they perform – it is possible to experience this when working with the subconscious. Self-hypnosis can help you reprogram patterns of behaviour that you repeat. Understanding your limiting beliefs and changing them is a helpful approach. By being proactive and using psychological skills training you can give yourself a better chance of thriving under pressure.
