Subconscious Beliefs and the Seven Habits of Successful People

“ In developing our own self-awareness many of us discover ineffective scripts, deeply embedded habits that are totally unworthy of us, totally incongruent with the things we really value in life.” Stephen R. Covey The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People

Inspired by the Seven Habits of Highly Effective People, by Stephen R. Covey, this module introduces participants to the power of the subconscious mind in turning very good ideas into very good habits. Our behaviors are determined by our beliefs. Successful people have habits that make life more of a self-fulfilling prophecy than a day to day struggle! When subconscious beliefs conflict with conscious goals, we often experience self-defeating thoughts and self-sabotaging behaviors. True habits are automatic behaviors. Using PER-K™ techniques you can make “Successful Habits” an automatic part of your life. Each “Habit” is supported by key subconscious beliefs that will align your thoughts and behaviors with your goals. Make success your new habit!
