Hey David, thank you for having me. It’s an honor and a pleasure to be here.
Well, thank you so much for being here and sharing some of your time today and for everything you’re doing as a coach and a writer, allowing creativity to help connect your coaching client and your reading audience to greater awareness about themselves and the world around them. Today we’re talking about our show, Writing Using Subconscious Creativity, specifically how Coach Brian taps into his subconscious mind to create meaningful dialogue and connection using this creativity beyond just the physical world. So Brian, how we always like to start the shows is with the obvious and it’s this question, what is your creative superpower?
We’re all gifted with an amazing amount of power.
That’s a great question and I think that we’re all gifted with an amazing amount of power. Some of us can be great writers, musicians, performers and all different types of things connecting people to each other in acceptance. If you roll all those up into one, it’s really coming from our subconscious of what we truly are. I think that if we take out the garbage that’s in our head and allow the ego to just take a moment to subside and move over and just be a person that can just be quiet and by taking out that trash that we all have in our heads it allows us to get into our conscious level with awareness. And with that awareness we could recognize how we’re feeling. When we recognize how we feel, we can live with our perception of the creativity that comes inside of us, our subconscious, our innate ability to be super.
I don’t mean super powerful as to lift a building. I think what I mean by that is to find our assets that are inside that we all cherish, that we all have, to be able to bring them to the forefront very quickly and with beauty and feeling blessed and honored that you can be a part of this because in the busy world that we live in we have a hard time finding it. So I think to wrap that up, the superpower’s being able to channel in and connect with our subconscious, which is known of truth and knowing of our being and knowing of the goodness and the positivity and the connections that we have. I mean, we all have them so I think that’s as much as I can go into it as of this moment but I think that the possibility is all within us if we were to just channel that inside.
Well, what I hear there is that you’re bringing your super ability because of all the experience and the training that you’ve had in your life to bring ability to channel the subconscious and to do that in a way that is bringing powerful transformation to the lives of the people that you serve and I think that, for me from what I hear, it’s the greatest type of superpower because it’s bringing a profound effect, a positive effect into people’s lives who clearly have attracted you, whether they’re aware of it or not, to the place where they are needing to have that sort of presence and I think that’s such an important thing with the world today and all of this and all it can be but all it sort of develops into what we see out there on the surface of things. And I wanna ask you this then, how do you feel like in how you create as a writer? How do you feel your ability to have this ability to tap into your subconscious in writing, whether it’s writing a homework plan for a client or writing one of your articles? How do you bring that awareness, that tapping into the subconscious into your creative life?
I think it’s two fold. First, I mention this to all the clients and to the groups I speak with, is that when we’re consuming with all this thought, meaningless thought of worry and concern and things that you have to do and things that you need to be a part of, we get consumed by all this where it clouds up our entryway. You know, people talk about portals from this universe to the next universe or going from the Bermuda Triangle and coming out the other side of the world near Indonesia and Japan.
Yeah.
Through the oceans. Well, we have to think of that as ourselves too. We have to have a way in and the first I say to everyone’s, can we take a moment to just breathe? Can we take a moment to remember what’s good? When we connect into things that bring us joy we forget about all that other stuff that we’re consumed with. In fact, the moment that you ever turn off the news or turn off the T.V., the first thought is, “Oh, I’m not part of society and I’m not part of the world.” In all actuality, you’re stuffing off all the noise, the negative energy. You’re shutting off the dirt, the dirty energy too. So the idea is to remember what we truly are. So feelings are the best way. Feelings are neither right nor wrong. They’re feelings. It’s how your subconscious connects you to the laughter, to the sadness, to your creativity, to your inspiration, to your motivation.
Yeah.
I think if we remember to be a child where there are no rules. It’s all about trying to experience new things. It’s about making up games. It’s about laughing and giggling and having fun. That child doesn’t know anything about the world. That child doesn’t know anything about bills. That child doesn’t know anything about the pressures of life. The child is being innocent. So how does an adult become innocent? When the adult makes the choice or to make an agreement with themselves that it’s okay to go back into the part of us that used to remember what it was like to live in the moment.
Yeah.
And once we do that, we have the amazing ability to create anything and be anything. The problem is, is that, that ego is so vicious and suspicious all the time that we’re separating ourselves from our own single identity. Well, you know, we’re all special, not individually, we’re all special as one.
That’s right.
When we remember that when we’re one that there is no difference between you and me, a stranger, a person you may see on T.V. ’cause what do they all have in common? They have a heart, they have love. I recently lost my mom and one person at the hospital said, “I’m really sorry for your loss.” And I said, “Well, thank you very much. I appreciate that.” And my ego said, “Well, I bet you say that to everyone.” And the person said to me this, “Everybody has a mom. And everybody can feel what you’re feeling.” Once I had that, I remembered all the good instead of living the bad at that moment that she’s no longer here. And the funny thing is, the most creative thing, is that the moment that I made that agreement, a yellow butterfly landed right near me and that yellow butterfly lifted up and circled by head.
That was two and a half years ago and today only yellow butterflies do I see. And is that the transformation of life to death or the transformation of yourself? I mean, we’re given clues all the time.
Yeah, absolutely.
Right?
Yeah, absolutely.
They call it God whispering to us or angels.
Mm-hmm (affirmative).
These things are real if we make the choice to be a part of that.
Yep.
We’re pretty much judging ourselves more than anyone else.
Without the judgment. We’re pretty much judging ourselves more than anyone else because I’m judging what you may be thinking of me right now, David. And if I do, I can’t say what I’m saying that’s coming from my subconscious and my creative side. And we have to utilize what we know. We have to utilize things we even don’t know so we can, I wanna say the word change, ’cause a lot of people get really scared about this word.
Sure.
What about if we say we’re fine tuning ourselves? You know, when you put on the radio and it’s got that little scratchiness to it and then you turn up the dial and you move it in so you get it in just a little bit better or you move the antenna. That’s what we’re doing and if we could remember what we’re fine tuning, who we are, what we are, then we don’t stand still, then we’re always in flow.
Yeah, absolutely. That’s awesome stuff. That is really, really powerful wisdom there and we need to take a quick break. I really wanna expand on some of these concepts though because I think they’ll definitely resonate with the listeners because it’s applicable to everybody so they can start applying this stuff in their own lives. But before we jump into the break, Coach Brian, let’s tell people where they can find out more about you.
Sure. You can find me online and my website is bethekey.net. Just as it sound, or you can find me on Facebook. Same thing, Be The Key to Your Happiness as well as on Twitter and then the other social medias out there.
Outstanding. That’s outstanding. All right, so we’ve been talking with Coach Brian J. Zahn today about writing using subconscious creativity. We’re gonna take a quick break and when we come back, we’re gonna walk you through exactly how you start to be the key in your own life and start having what you want. So stay with us and we’ll be right back.
