Whether getting ready for the new school year or just deciding this is a good time to begin becoming the person you would like to become … THE TIME IS NOW. I want to share a powerful mental ritual: autosuggestion.
Inspired by Napoleon Hill and Émile Coué, this deliberate, disciplined practice can reshape who you are, rewrite your habits, and ultimately transform your life. It doesn’t depend on your educational level, Your IQ or how much money you have in the bank. It does depend on your willingness to move from where you are now to actually becoming the vision and version of yourself you’ve always dreamed about.
Autosuggestion is the practice of repeating positive statements—affirmations—so often and with feeling that they sink into your subconscious. Hill calls it “the medium for influencing the subconscious mind”.
Coué’s classic mantra, “Every day, in every way, I’m getting better and better,” became famous by simply repeating it morning and night—even 20 times per session.
Here’s how it works in three easy steps:
1. Choose a clear, positive goal—say “I’m confident in speaking up.”
2. Repeat it daily, ideally morning and evening, with real emotion behind it—at least 20 cycles .
3. Believe it, even if just a little. Your subconscious will not accept what your conscious doesn’t believe.
Over time, your subconscious starts to act as if this new identity is real: you speak up more, feel stronger, develop habits that match your vision. You literally become the person you describe to yourself.
This method is for anyone: students, workers, dreamers. Whether you’ve studied in a classroom or learned from life, autosuggestion is accessible, free, and deeply effective.
Call to Action: Begin tonight. Write a short affirmation in first person, read it aloud with feeling before bed and again in the morning. Do this daily for 30 days and watch your identity shift. Believe me—your life transforms when your mind rewires.
Note: CHANGE YOUR VISION OF YOURSELF AND CHANGE YOUR LIFE!
