Why do the majority of bloggers fail when:
- each has access to successful blogging strategies?
- some take action on successful blogging strategies?
The answer: mindset.
What do I mean when I say “mindset”?
Your willingness to patiently:
- unearth
- feel
- forgive or look past
your unconscious fears.
I do not wish to wax poetic about consciously thinking positive. I certainly do not intend to give you a conscious, rah-rah, cheer leading session.
There is nothing wrong with consciously egging bloggers on or clearly stating that you genuinely believe in them.
But if a blogger possesses a mind filled with many deep, unconscious fears, they will think, feel and act according to those deep, unconscious fears.
Why do bloggers ignore successful advice?
Deep, unconscious fears blind them to successful advice because each feels deserving of struggles, failure and self-punishment. Unconsciously, success is not for them. How could success be for them if they feel deserving of struggles, failure and self-punishment?
Why do bloggers give up on following successful advice so freaking quickly? Unconscious fear convinces these individuals of their laziness, lack of deserving and goodness knows what else.
Why do bloggers appear to do successful things for a long time but never experience or rarely experience worldly success? Unconscious fear prevents the high quality traffic and money from arriving to the blog and that blogger’s bank account.
No one has figured out how to:
- outfox
- outsmart
- outwork
their unconscious fears because the unconscious wins over the conscious mind every time.
Haven’t you noticed how many beginner bloggers start out with a conscious, wild, positive sense of excitement then want to quit blogging after their unconscious fears surface (in the form of impatience, panic, greed, desperation and delusion) 3 weeks into their blogging career?
The unconscious mindset always wins.
My Mindset Experience
I have experienced varying levels of success during my blogging career.
Each level corresponded to my unconscious mind.
Prospering periods followed an unconscious (and more noticeable) sense of:
- trust
- relaxation
- abundance
- true helpfulness
Struggling periods followed an unconscious (and more noticeable, unpleasant, rare but intense conscious explosions of):
- doubt
- mental chaos
- scarcity
- stingy-ness
- anger
- rage
How did I get into my unconscious mind to experience greater peace and some worldly success, too?
I trained my mind and baby-stepped outside of my comfort zone.
Mind Training
Train your mind.
Use practical strategies like meditating or following A Course in Miracles.
Commit to this truth: your experience plays out from your unconscious mind, largely, at least.
Observe how many decisions you make leading to distress. Pay close attention to how your choices victimize you. Even though each choice seems to happen on a conscious level via your free will it actually occurs on an unconscious level.
Who consciously chooses to blame the world for their problems when this decision creates a series of problems and stresses?
No one makes these selections solely from the conscious mind. Most choose these beliefs unconsciously, meaning, identical to a robot following a program.
Mind training slowly reveals your unconscious fear and guilt and all your problems fueled by these unconscious fears and selections to gradually cultivate peace of mind and conscious, peaceful choices. Worldly success follows a series of peaceful, truly helpful, intelligent choices on your part.
Baby Step Outside of Your Comfort Zone
Step outside of your comfort zone a tiny bit.
Unconscious – and conscious – fears arise.
For example, you may consciously believe that you are a big, bad and confident blogger. But broadcasting live triggers unconscious fears in your mind creating feelings of:
- fearing that you are a fraud
- fearing that you will have nothing to say
- fearing that you will appear to be stupid because you have nothing to say
- fearing a critic skewering you in real time
Each of those unconscious fears in your mind largely influences the decisions you make blogging-wise.
How will you blog if you are unconsciously terrified to be outed as a fraud, to be criticized and to look stupid? You will make blogging decisions based on playing small, avoiding critics and avoiding being discovered by more than a few people. Drawing a few people to your blog means no traffic and no income.
Do you understand why blogging is mindset?
Do you understand why mindset is largely your unconscious mind?
One Note
While doing mind training and leaving your comfort zone, blogging involves using tools, techniques and tactics to help people and succeed.
This post does not deny the world and its practical things, strategies and customs.
I wrote this post via a WordPress Dot Org thingee and will distribute via Mail Chimp and social media…..all thingees.
But this post completely denies that the strategies, tools and tactics solely bring you success by uncovering that your unconscious mind is the chief blogging success or failure factor. The worldly tools and tactics are just a small part of the success equation because the mindset completely influences the decisions you make, the strategies you follow, the tools you use and how you choose to feel as you follow these paths.
Practical Applications
A Buddhist may say, “I am the dreamer of the dream.”
A Christian may say, “The Kingdom of Heaven is within.”
A Course of Miracles student may say, “The secret of life is that you are doing it to yourself.”
As a Course student, J means that the world is a tiny thing that sits inside of your astoundingly vast mind which is abstract and goes through eternity. When people and events play out in a certain way, these situations reveal what you believe since the people and events are contained in your mind (not a tiny thing in a human head that you identify with but the whole shebang from here to forever). However, these beliefs will be almost entirely unconscious until you begin to work with J or the Holy Spirit to radically forgive these images. Intuitive guidance, life-wise and blogging-wise, follows.
Your mind is an iceberg; the conscious part is the tiny bit of ice above water and the unconscious is the majority of the ice below the surface.
You gotta do the deep dive to see that your life experience flows directly from your unconscious mind. As you dive deeply, you will use things and strategies in the world to practically apply your gradually expanding, relaxed, abundant frame of mind based on being truly helpful.
Everything is in your mind but this does not mean sitting in a room to meditate for the remainder of your life.
Interacting with people – whom you are one with in reality – triggers your unconscious fears with the precision of a deft surgeon. This is why publishing blog posts and offsite content to help people both accelerates your success and mind training. The appearance of nasty critics reveals your unconscious self-hate; you are connected by mind. They act out in that one mind what you believe about yourself. However, since most of these beliefs and fears of yours are unconscious, you may feel startled at what you believe about yourself and push out of your awareness.
On a conscious level, you may believe that spammers are the scum of the earth. Unconsciously, you believe that you are the scum of the earth. One mind, folks. So since you unconsciously despise yourself, you play small to avoid the annoying spammers, get no traffic and income and punish yourself for getting no traffic and income, as another by-product of hating yourself.
Conclusion
Admittedly, this is an advanced blogging strategy.
But I wish not to treat you with kid gloves.
The question:
Would I rather have peace of mind, help people and experience worldly success or run in the opposite direction?
You can be happy and successful…..or be right and open a whole can of worms.
Choose wisely.
