And so, when you're stressing about things too much, you're actually putting your system, if you like, through an unnecessary process, which will ultimately cause you problems." – Paul McKenna "So overeating, smoking, drinking too much, etc. And they are quite rightly, as you say, usually in response to too much stress. And so, what happens is you can talk to the unconscious mind, the part of the mind that is responsible for those programs, and you can ask it to fulfill all the positive intentions of a negative pattern of behavior, but without having to do that negative pattern of behavior in future." – Paul McKenna To stay connected and to learn more about Vishen and Mindvalley, click on the links below:  Website: Mindvalley.com YouTube: @vishenlakhiani Instagram: @mindvalley Instagram: @vishen Facebook: @mindvalley Subscribe to 'Mindvalley Membership' to discover 65+ transformational Mindvalley programs – at a surprisingly low annual fee here 👉 https://go.mindvalley.com/NOW  Learn more about your ad choices.
