(And 5 Ways to Start Today)

Discover how rewiring your thoughts can change your identity, your outcomes, and your life. Learn 5 neuroscience-backed steps to take control of your mindset for good — starting today.

There is no upgrade more powerful than changing your mind.

Not just your opinion. Your mind.

Because how you think — about yourself, your worth, your future — becomes the blueprint for every action you take.

And every action you don’t.

Here’s what neuroscience confirms:

Your thoughts wire your brain.
Repeated thoughts become beliefs.
Beliefs shape behavior.
Behavior reinforces identity.
Identity becomes reality.

Change your thinking, and you change your entire ecosystem.

This isn’t about fake positivity. And for many of you, it will be harder than you originally think, so you’ll give up. I always go back to an episode of Seinfeld when George Costanza decides to think differently. Every instinct he’s had has been wrong, so he decides to think differently. He goes from loser to winner seemingly overnight.

I don’t claim to have all the answers on this vast subject, but this is one thing I know for certain, because I’ve lived it. Our subconscious mind holds the answers to our happiness or regret.

When you change your worldview, something magical happens, and it starts with neuroplasticity — your brain’s ability to rewire itself based on what you focus on, believe, and do.

Here are 5 practical things you can do to get you started.

1. Notice the Loop

Your mind is efficient. It thrives on repetition. Famed family therapist, Virginia Satir, said our greatest instinct is to stay with what is familiar.

So it will default to the narrative you’ve rehearsed the most. What your mind sees as proven, familiar, and known. If you learn nothing else from this article, make this your takeaway.

The subconscious mind is wired for safety — not accuracy.

Ask yourself: What story am I replaying right now?

Maybe it sounds like:

“I’ll never get this right.”
“They always leave.”
“I’m too much.”

The first step isn’t fixing the story.

It’s recognizing that it is a story — not a prophecy, not a punishment. Just a thought loop.

Once you see it, you don’t have to live inside it anymore.

2. Ask: Is This True or Just Rehearsed?

Your brain mistakes repetition for truth.

Whatever is most familiar becomes what feels safest — even if it hurts.

But not every thought is earned. Not every belief is yours. (Maybe it’s your parents, teachers, community leaders, or friends.)

Ask:

Who taught me this?
What does this protect me from?
What becomes possible if I stop believing it? (What’s the cost of holding on?)

Most thoughts that keep you small are just well-rehearsed echoes of the past.

This isn’t about positive thinking.

It’s about mental sovereignty — reclaiming the right to choose your own lens — your own blueprint of the world and your place in it.

3. Interrupt the Pattern

The brain will keep running the old tape…unless you stop it. (And if you have conflicting thoughts or feelings, they’ll cancel each other out.)

So stop it.

Disrupt the pattern physically, audibly, somatically:

Clap your hands.
Say “stop” out loud.
Move your body.
Take a breath and drop into sensation.

That interruption creates a portal.

A new thought can’t enter a system that’s fully occupied.

But in that pause, new information can land.

4. Offer a Better Thought

Your mind doesn’t work in deletions.

It needs substitutions.

Once you pause the loop, offer your brain something better — something that expands your capacity without forcing fake positivity.

Try:

“What would I say to someone I love right now?”
“What’s one other way to interpret this moment?”
“What’s a thought that’s both kinder and believable?” (I love this one)

The goal isn’t perfection. It’s possibility. One thought. One step.

5. Repeat to Rewire

This is the part most people skip.

Because rewiring isn’t sexy. It’s not instant.

But it’s essential.

Mental rehearsal shapes neural architecture.

Your identity — how you see yourself — is pliable. Trainable. Malleable.

You don’t need to overhaul everything overnight. (And if you tried, your nervous system probably wouldn’t feel safe.)

Five minutes a day is enough to begin. A breath. A journal line. A whispered reminder.

You’re not trying to become someone else.

You’re remembering who you were before the world taught you to shrink.

The Bottom Line

You’re not stuck because of your circumstances.

You’re stuck because of the stories you believe about them.

Change your mind — for real — and you don’t just change your outlook.

You change your:

Access
Timing
Future

Because the most radical kind of power is internal.

And it’s already yours.

Ingram’s Path | Subconscious Healing

I’m a certified hypnotherapist, holistic coach, and mentor. I guide people back to the deeper part of themselves—the subconscious—so they can live with more clarity, self-trust, and emotional freedom.

To that end, I work with people who are deeply caring and capable—but often exhausted from holding it all together. My clients are thoughtful leaders, creatives, and people who serve others and have spent years being everything for everyone else. They’ve been praised for their strength, but inside, they’re craving something more real: peace, purpose, and power that doesn’t drain them.

And yet, we rarely discuss it in leadership or workspaces, and that’s hurting our ability to connect with others. Moreover, we’ve lost the ability to connect with ourselves.

Most people don’t realize that the subconscious is running the show—shaping their choices, blocking their visibility, and reinforcing beliefs that were never truly theirs. My work is about decoding those patterns and gently rewiring the operating system beneath the surface.

Clients often tell me they’ve learned more about their emotional blocks in one session with me than in years of traditional talk therapy. That’s not because I have the answers—it’s because the subconscious already does. I simply help people see, listen or feel it.

I’ve trained in trauma recovery, nervous system regulation, and advanced mindset tools. I’ve supported clients across the world for the past four years. But more than any credential, I’ve lived this work. I know what it’s like to survive off bad programming—and what it feels like to finally stop performing and start integrating.

What I Believe

Healing is learning not to fix or perform, but to return to the self you were before the world handed you a script and cast you in a role.

Maybe you were the brilliant one. The helpful one.

Or maybe you learned to rebel—or to stay in crisis—because that’s when love, safety, or attention showed up.

I also believe:

• Sensitivity is wisdom.

• Symptoms are messengers.

• The nervous system isn’t broken—it’s loyal.

• Grief holds intelligence.

• Truth doesn’t shout—it steadies.

• Change begins in the body—before you can name it, post about it, or lead from it.

You’re not asking for too much. You’ve simply outgrown the story you were given.

In a world that rewards performance, being comfortable in your own skin is a radical act.
