Mind Over Matter: Mindset Development
Rewiring Your Subconscious Mind
We live in a world where whatever God says about you and you repeat it, it sounds narcissistic. But whatever Satan says about you and repeat it , it sound realistic. Too many times I’ve witnessed people normalize speaking negatively. This is a cycle that can be broken by rewiring your subconscious mind.

Mind over matter is magic, I do magic. Mind over matter is magic, I do magic. Mind over matter is magic, I do magic. Mind over matter is words. I'll be mad, I'll be mad, I'll be mad, I'll be mad, I'll be mad.
Speaker 2:Welcome to Mind Over Matter, baby. I'm your host, deja Wallace, and if this is your first time joining me, welcome. If this is not shout out to you, I appreciate you. Like you really came back to listen to another episode. Like, oh my God. Like, oh my God, I'm so excited. Today's episode of Mind Over Matter we'll be talking about your thoughts, your mind, your subconscious versus your conscious mind. We're going to be talking about imagination, creativity and a whole lot more. So if this is something you're interested in, kick back, relax and enjoy this episode.
Speaker 2:Nobody tells you how hard it is to rewire your brain to allow amazing things to happen to you After so much hurt, after so much loss. Allow amazing things to happen to you. After so much hurt, after so much loss and so much trauma, it's so easy to go back to that negative cycle. Let life happen, let it flow. Stop resisting it, stop questioning it.
Speaker 2:We live in a society where, if you're optimistic, it's always challenged or always questioned. Continue walking in your purpose and living in what God tells you. You are not what the world is telling you you are. Speak life into your days, even if it may sound narcissistic at first. Normalize happiness, joy, peace. Too many times we normalize just self-doubt and complacency. This cycle can be broken by rewiring your subconscious mind. Rewiring your brain is something that takes a lot of work, but it's an amazing thing when you do get to the end of what you're trying to accomplish. When it comes to just reengineering your mind, rewiring your mind always starts with the subconscious mind, and I want to break down what that is. Watching a movie, for example, like there's a bunch of thousands, millions of images flashing past, but you can't recall every single image, but your brain still received it.
Speaker 2:So, that's the subconscious, okay, things that were like from when you're born. Certain things, experiences happen to you, so we're always like taking in things from, like our environment, from soon as we open our eyes, and I think, like your subconscious is basically the things that you've taken in, that you're not aware of. The best time to train an animal or a person is in their childhood, your deep memories that you didn't really pay attention to, but you still took it in. And then the conscious, the conscious is what you're able to recall.
Speaker 3:Right.
Speaker 2:And what you're able to trace back. You know what I mean, like things you're aware of Right, like, okay, I don't trust niggas because my mom Right was a single mom and my dad wouldn't shit. That's why. But then there's a deeper thing to it too that you have to trace back. That's the subconscious. It's like, okay, it's something deeper there. You know what I mean, but it's so hard to rewire your subconscious, your habits, because, like that's, it's hard to be aware of it, because it's in your subconscious, it's in your subconscious.
Speaker 2:You know what I mean, what you grew up in, what you used to do yeah, and when you're living in it it's hard to like, pinpoint okay, I move like this because of this happened to me and this happened to me, you know.
Speaker 3:Right right.
Speaker 2:And that's why I think this way, that's why I believe this, that's why I have these habits. It's so important to even have that awareness and to just go through that whole therapy process, trying to find a good therapist, till this day till this day I cannot find one like yeah you just don't be clicking.
Speaker 3:Yeah, it's tough, but you gotta just find that. Find one who's interested, like who's highly interested, exactly, I think just the zoom, the, the whole Zoom sessions.
Speaker 2:Yeah, no, that's not personable, yeah it feels very distant.
Speaker 1:I'm just like I want to be on the couch with the pillow laying down on my back.
Speaker 2:Like girl you're not going to believe what happened this week.
Speaker 3:That's how it should be. That's how it should be, and you should always look forward to it every time. That's how it should be. That's how it should be, and you should always look forward to it every time. That's how I got through.
Speaker 2:When it comes to just re-engineering, my mind is that I have to fake it until I make it in a way. You know what I mean, I know what you mean, I have to literally picture myself doing big things before it actually?
Speaker 3:falls into place. It's funny I've been told that so many times Like you got to fake it till you make it Like in the workspace sometimes.
Speaker 1:And.
Speaker 2:I'm like um.
Speaker 3:How's that working out?
Speaker 2:for you.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I can never fake it till, I make it, but, like you know, Wait why? Because just the word fake it's not in me, I can't fake it no scratch all the way. I like that I can't. You're a real one. Yeah, I'm too real If I feel the way you're going to see it. That's why.
Speaker 2:I always say I'm probably going to be.
Speaker 3:I won't say fake it, then it needs a better saying. It needs to be a better saying because a lot of times I I've been told that like on the floor or like by like people, and I'm like I can't do it, like, and if I can't do it then I probably shouldn't be here, like you know, like in a sense, um, but that's what I said I'll probably be like the greatest actor ever just because I, like you, could see my emotions all the time when I'm feeling it. You know.
Speaker 2:So it's just a matter of um, just finding the right space, because I won't say fake it till you make it. I'll say, like doing everything right now in your reality, as if you already are the version of yourself you want to be. That's better. Yeah, I like that. I know that's very wordy. No, but I understand that completely.
Speaker 3:Yeah, it's because of, like you said, rewiring your brain. That's part of the process, exactly Of doing that, and if you know that you are this person, you can go to the next level. You have to automatically think that and be in that. Yeah, present yourself in that way everywhere you go.
Speaker 2:You just made me think of something Like when you, when a lion is raised to feel like it's a sheep, right, and you continuously tell like the lion is trained to move like a sheep. When the lion gets in other environments, the lion is going to think that it's a sheep. It doesn't see its power. And that's what sometimes, when you do adopt certain ideas, that's what it does to you. It domesticates you, it makes you feel like you can't do certain things. That's why it's so important to do that work, that shadow work and re-engineering your mind, because sometimes the ideas you have are making you like you're Superman in a room full of kryptonite, because you don't realize your power, because you haven't done that. Is that like?
Speaker 2:yeah, you haven't done that.
Speaker 2:The work, the work to like, consciously try to just make everything match right what you want to be yeah, what you want to be, not what other people are telling you you are, even if you don't go through therapy like the conventional way, like just to be more mindful about the reason you're feeling the way you're feeling, right, right, because, like, these emotions are always passing. You know what I mean. Yeah, but to like trace it back is really where the rewiring happens, and when you consciously try to pinpoint why you're moving out of this like emotion, that's where the rewiring happens. You know what I mean and it's so important because, like, I was reading this book called like the Body Keeps Score and it was talking about like we are creatures or we are beings of like habit.
Speaker 2:Humans, they learn off of patterns, they learn off of habits. Kids, like children, they learn off of habits repetition, they learn off of patterns, they learn off of habits. Kids, like children, they learn off of habits repetition. And that's literally the way our brain is wired Certain neurons in the brain go off based off of what it remembers.
Speaker 2:You know what I mean. If you're always sad, those neurons are always going to be going off.
Speaker 3:That's your default setting in a way. Yeah, you, I mean. I know exactly what you mean, because even when I'm stressed, I go straight to trolleys.
Speaker 2:That's my default. Yeah, the neurons in my brain? Yeah, because your brain like damn, I don't feel good. Let me try to pick up my dopamine and do this. And when you make a habit out of that, it's like it's kind of gets really exactly daily, depending on what you're doing.
Speaker 2:Exactly. Hmm, yeah, that's deep. That's why it's so important, especially as you get older, to try to do the work to rewire your mindset in such a way that it matches the person you want to be Right, because if you're not doing that, then it's like you're literally doing the opposite of that. You're just being complacent and you're going to. Life is just going to present you with the same thing over and over.
Speaker 2:I think the imagination is so powerful too, because that's where everything stems from. Is you like creating up this whole narrative in your head of you completing something and you achieving something, and you have to think it first before it becomes reality? Made it to the end of another episode. Make sure you tell a friend to tell a friend to tell a friend. Mother, that is to mind over matter, baby.
