When you start making changes in your life, whether the change is positive or negative, your subconscious kicks into survival mode and starts sending you little SOS messages. It’s as if changing will create danger for you, and your subconscious is programmed to protect you, to help you survive. You’ll likely feel resistance and begin to doubt yourself as you start doing things differently.
Reprogram Your Subconscious
Since you don’t want your subconscious to derail your new behaviors and thoughts, try to reprogram your values and goals into your subconscious, so that it’s operating from a newer, healthier belief system. One technique you can use is called pre-play, the opposite of the well known “instant replay.” When we watch a video tape of something that has already happened, we are observing what was. There is nothing we can do to alter what has taken place. Using pre-play means recording an incident in your mind, before it happens.
Since we tend to move toward what we picture, this visualization technique is particularly effective in manifesting what we desire.
Physically, psychologically, and emotionally we create what we visualize with our mind, by taking activity and movement. So you’ll want to insert yourself into this imagery, and imagine it in the present tense. You want to imagine yourself as having accepted the outcome.
Then your subconscious mind gets to work to make sure the picture matches your reality. You want to use this imagery with regularity so your subconscious feels compelled to supply everything you need to make the image your reality.
Say Goodbye to Resistance
The first thing you will notice if you begin to use pre-play, is your level of resistance will diminish drastically. You’ll feel motivated and focused. And you will suddenly begin to recognize the people, places, and situations that will assist you to achieve your goal. Your subconscious will provide the creative energy and the drive.
Creative Visualization Invites What You Wish to Manifest
The quality of your life is determined by what you visualize for yourself. If you operate primarily using the instant replay function, you invite the same situations and experiences into your life, again and again. And when you’re looking at things that have already happened, you feel rather powerless to change them, don’t you? It’s because you are powerless to change them, and looking backward keeps you in the role of witness, not creator. So focus your thoughts, emotions and feelings on what you wish to achieve, not on what has already been.

Thanks for reminding us about the importance of not dwelling on the past, except insofar as it helps to us achieve the life we want in the future.
As the website has yet to be created, I did want to make a comment anyway. It is so true that I have been living in replay rather than pre-play. I never have seen it written so easily to comprehend before. I would like to thank you as you have just openned my eyes, subconscious and emotions to know now, finally, and once and for all, as why I continuously stop or stall out without getting any further than I do. I am forever putting myself on the back burner so to speak, however, I’ve always done this and now I know why. I’ve never given myself the permission to continue and fulfill my dreams. I’ve always put everyone else’s desires, dreams and ambitions above and in front of my own. Can I ask you a question? How does one begin to give themselves the permission to forge ahead, to be a little selfish, and to allow themselves the right to go after their dreams and ambitions? Can a person change to that degree without extensive help or better insights? I guess I need to know that it is okay to work on my own dreams. I have raised my children to adults, have now become single and have the time to focus on myself, I just haven’t been taught how. I have spent my entire life trying to please others, do for others, which is primarily my personality, and I get a lot of fulfillment out of helping others. With the above article bringing to light what and why I stall-out, and given me the suggestive knowledge to get out of my comfort zone is probably the first time it clicked. I would like to thank you for this article, and I do, however, look forward to any other articles you may have or suggestions to research follow-ups from this article. How does one know which step to put first, is it more about knowing and focusing internally and looking at the goals, dreams and desires you feel inside and then trying to place action steps to go forward to attaining these things? I know deep down I do have the tools necessary for creating my dreams, I do know I have the intelligence also, however, I just didn’t know I can give myself the permission to go forward for myself and not put myself aside in place of other’s needs, desires and dreams. Thank you again. I hope that I will be able to give you a follow-up as to my successfully completing and living my dreams and desires.
Reminds me of a favorite phrase from an old song……yesterday is gone and tomorrow is but a dream…..living fully conscious in the present seems to be the most productive way of living happily and feeling fullfilled.
Think of it as a huge debt that you owe - to yourself. It’s crucial that you change your programming and begin believing in the power within you that a Creative Intelligence gave you to use, not throw away. Dig deep and find out why you have for years overlooked your strength and gifts. Do you perhaps focus on everybody else to feel ok about yourself? Do you need approval from others? You know you have great gifts to offer the world, and that’s what the world needs - for you to be happy and fulfilled. Good luck and get going!
Wow that is a fabulousy written and I also with to thank Toodsie for her response. Its so true that I have lived a good portion of my life using the rewind button. However looking back my best part of my life was when I was able to create ‘Creative Visualization’. I must mention here that I was not able to carry it forward when I stopped this ‘Creative Visualization’ as I was not able to have any goal. As Tootsie mentioned I always lived for others - I too spent my entire life trying to please others - making my parents comfortable and raising and ensuring my kids are well settled both which I have achieved. How is that I never thought about myself? I have experienced and realize that you get what you visualize. However very surprisingly now I am not able to move ahead. I will now visualize and allow my subconscious mind to work. Thank you
To you Dr. Anthony!,
If I say that you are a wonderful teacher and that I would love to hear more from you, it may appear as if I am suffering from the disease o f self-improvement; otherwise your writings are so wonderful that I would like to keep on learning from you!
One thing, in this blog, I remain! Thank you doc.

certain spiritual Strategies. Actually with the grace of God my
personl life has no problems it is going on very smooth,But it is our duty to help the people who are having mental or emotional
problems,as they have so much stuff in their subconcious mind ,there should be a pure heart and clean mind to have peace of mind ,prosperity and abundance of health as well as wealth in Life. One should believe in God, The Supreme power and always remain in connection with His power. It gives the correct guidence, always takes care But one should have faith in Him If one can totally surrender to Him and keeps constant relation with Him by unconditional love for him love for the whole universe ,especially our planet Earth.One should not find faults, please Forgive .To live in present moment. do not remember the past, do not think about future.Enjoy the present moment and you will succeed in your life.
First of all I want to thank you for inviting me to be part of Robert Anthony’s blog. I have always wanted to be closer since I met you personally in California several years ago at a company meeting. Thanks so much for making it clear to me on how to reprogram my subconcious mind using this preplay technique.
The strongest impact on me was made by putting into a practice your advice, that the quickest way to put ourselves back to the vibrational match with what we desire is to start feel gratitude for the things we already have.
I am so happy!!!!!
When I started with visualisations, ie your Rapid manifestation that I downloaded from your “Know how to be rich” e course, everything went well, but I encountered several incredibly strong “Attacks” of bad thaughts from my subcounscious, like fears occured, that was so strong. I feel them as something from inside me wanted to sabotage myself!
To get back from the state of being paralised by fears that just pop upped from whoknowswhere, I immediatelly started intentionally to feel gratitude , and I thaught of the good things that I already have.
It shifted my emotional state IMMEDIATELLY !!
This really works!!
To make it shorter, I enrolled in RMLS home study program, and before I actually started for real , here is what has happened to me :
The loan that i was requesting, to buy my dream home, was approved! there were many obstacles, many! It was requested 4 months ago, and still struggle to get it approved. However, I did not allowed to fear to take over, My mom told me : Now honey, send this all upstairs to the Universe to resolve it, and you just stay happy ( she is a great fan of your teaching,too) Then I heard this “click” in my head, like “I GOT IT” and I knew I was on the right track. I stopped my habit of telling to Universe how it will be delivered.
In a two days, loan was approved! The wildest dream of my life is fulfilled!
besides, the other day ,my
General manager called me to his office to tell me that I have been voted for Manager of the year!!
I remember that two months back I was afraid that guy will fire me !! and I was afraid that my General manager does not like my work.
When you change the way you look at things, the things that you look at will change!!! Very very powerfull… Instead to feed my fears of coming every day to my work place and feel anxious about my daily tasks and worry am I good for that job, I started to visualise every day myself coming to work happy, seing myself self confident and feeling I am a good Manager!
Next thing I know, I got reward trip to Italy, but the catch here is that I recently met a very special person from Italy, who I want to know better, as he is really special one, and there could be a really inspiring and rewarding relationship possible.
I longed for so long to meet a mate who will be really interested in me , I made a list of his characteristics, immagined how would I feel in relationship of my dreams, and….guess what : The cosmic computer ,it looks so, has found me a perfect match that fully correspondent to the list of characteristic that I wrote down..
May I tell you, Dr Anthony, thank you so warmly for all your teachings. It really helps to everyone. I am into self improvement stuff for more than 25 years, with mixed results. Now I know that rainy days are over if I continue with practising what you are teaching me. Thanks a lot!
One more thing: BEING UNHAPPY IS A HABIT. At least in my case. With new pattern of thinking, it will never be the same for me!!
The day I purchase RMLS home study is a literrally FIRST DAY OF MY NEW LIFE. May I add, the day when I started to know about your teaching was preplay for my New Life
Thank you, Ksenia
This technique of using the pre-play for to reprogram the subconscious, likens to the kind work for learning a child by a new behavior: to attract the attention of child to the personal example (similar to visualization), favorable comments (for offer the value), encouraging when he try to imitate (like to be glad and grateful for the first results of reprogramming). Has this parallelism something true which can contribute to a adequate and deliberate relation of mind with our subconscious?
Hi Dr Anthony,
I have become a student of yours, from purchasing Deliberate Creation CD set. I constantly listen to these CD’s over and over.
Thank you impacting my life with this information
I have previously alway listen and read self improvement / development books and tapes that tell you you have to ” stretch yourself and get out of your comfort zone - feel uncomfortable, pain etc otherwise you will not grow, study personal development to become more successful
This comes from millionaires and trainers who say thats what you have to do to succeed
Your teaching from what I understand does not support this type of thinking - Have I interpreted this correctly???
Can you comment on this please??
Also I want to now just follow your teaching should I purchase your richmindLife strategy program given I have the deliberate creation program??
Appreciate you
Deliberate Creator

I recently read the Quantum report..can you tell me what kind of energy is Pain?
