Cultivating this routine, will be a powerful way to kickstart your journey, making it easier to complete the exercises and practice all of the concepts in this course. It’s all about creating those new pathways in the brain and creating a different identity, which leads to a new reality.
<aside> 📎 We will be doing affirmation and gratitude work later on in the course, so for now, just do the parts that speak to you. It’s not about being perfect. It’s about getting started in cultivating some type of positive routine that works for you- this is just a guide.

<aside> 📎 The ideal time for practicing affirmations is first thing in the morning, or as you are falling asleep at night. This allows you to tap into slower brain wave states like the suggestible theta state. During these periods, our conscious filter is inactive, making it easier to embed positive beliefs effectively. The conscious filter is the part of us that challenges us when we say things like, “I’m going to get this job.” It undermines positive thinking, due to the beliefs we have internalized that are stored in the subconscious mind. It. says things like, who are you kidding, there are better people out there for the job, you aren’t lucky, you won’t be chosen.

With unconscious beliefs guiding 95% of our day, leveraging these moments offers a prime chance to reprogram our mindset and beliefs.
