In this The Mindful Living Podcast episode host Sana sits down with Mike Wood to talk about the subconscious mind. How early life moments can wire negative core beliefs that drive anxiety, depression, self doubt, and “autopilot” living. Mike shares his personal journey. Including learning to read at 25 and doing the inner work that helped him reclaim clarity and purpose. You’ll hear practical mindset tools like box breathing, detaching from thoughts, and choosing authenticity over people pleasing. Plus a grounded conversation on meditation, energy awareness, and why your nervous system reacts like it’s in danger even when your life is not.
Mike Wood is the creator of LearnToLoveBeingYou.com and a coach focused on helping people understand subconscious programming, release negative core beliefs, and build emotional resilience through breathwork, meditation, and inner work practices.
Your subconscious mind runs old “programming” built in childhood. It can create negative core beliefs like “I’m not smart” that loop for decades.
Anxiety and depression can feel random. But Mike frames them as protective patterns that can be rewritten through awareness and repetition.
Emotional spikes plus a strong story can lock in beliefs. Learning to notice the moment is step one in reprogramming mindset.
Breathwork like box breathing can downshift the nervous system fast. Helpful for kids and adults during shame or social stress.
Detachment is a skill. You can learn to observe thoughts without treating them as truth or identity.
Attachment fuels reactivity. When you tie self worth to roles, status, or labels your body defends them like survival.
Authenticity is positioned as a core lever for confidence and mental clarity. It reduces internal conflict and second guessing.
Meditation does not need perfection. Start with 5 to 15 minutes and build consistency over intensity.
Mike discusses chakras and grounding as a way to tune into emotions and energy. Treat this as personal practice not medical treatment.
If you are in a dark place with anxiety or depression this episode reinforces seeking professional support. This content is educational not therapy.
