How To Rise Above Social Conditioning?



“Everyone wants to tell you what to do and what's good for you. They don't want you to find your own answers, they want you to believe theirs.” ~ Socrates

To change your own life into an outstanding one, you have to be able to rise above what psychologists call social conditioning. What is social conditioning?


Social conditioning is certain behaviors, desires, emotional reactions and beliefs that are approved by society standards.


Your own social conditioning starts as soon as you are born into this world, and progresses with age throughout childhood and adolescence. It doesn't end there, it goes on your entire life. We are influenced by parents, family, friends, teachers, pastors, priests, government officials, celebrities, peers, colleagues, people in your community, the media, books you ready and the ads you see.


By rewarding certain behaviors, you are reinforcing them and punishing other behaviors that don't fit within society standards. This is known as classical conditioning, which is the repetition of the same simple message over and over again until the mind gives in and absorbs them. This is often used to train laboratory rats, dogs, horses and others.


These messages can vary depending on person to person. For example when your parents tell you what you should or shouldn't do or advertising shows us what to do and not to do to be "successful."




The problem is that people don't think for themselves anymore and want to spend the time doing their own research. With social conditioning, people are attached to certain beliefs and views that aren't based on scientific understanding and critical thinking. Because of this, doing research might prove them wrong and shatter their beliefs which is why many choose to not know the truth at all. Living in this ignorance is unconsciously spreading untruths and blocking them from growing into wiser individuals.


By rebelling against the herd, questioning your own beliefs and thinking for yourself you will be able to free your mind from the prison of your own thoughts. By doing so, you will better understand yourself and the world you live in. You will then take back responsibility for your own life without being manipulated, fooled and exploited by power hungry individuals who solely care about their own personal gain, not you or your feelings.



Money & Career: 


Our society encourages us to become materialistic and consumers.

"Advertising has us chasing cars and clothes, working jobs we hate so we can buy shit we don't need. " ~ Fight Club

It's not only advertising that's doing this. We are pushed to obey authority, conform to all norms, work long hours, have a "job" to be secure and be a loyal employee ( or as I call it slave).



Health & Fitness: 


The society we live in is obsessed with being skinny, fit and young. Many popular methods or "shortcuts" to maintain this unrealistic expectations are damaging to our own mental, emotional and physical health. For example: detoxes, extreme diets and fads, steroids, weight loss pills and plastic surgery.


Other's seek instant gratifications from eating and drinking toxic foods and drinks without paying any attention to ingredients. They pay little attention to the health consequences of eating and drinking these sorts of foods and drinks on a daily basis and the toll it takes on your body. They live to eat rather than eat to live.


When you eliminate the issues that come from social conditioning, you simply find new ways to create your desired experience that doesn’t leave you relying on outside elements that are out of your control.


When you do this, social conditioning will stop controlling and ruining your life!

Going through a spiritual awakening?


During an awakening, it may be useful to have some professional guidance: someone who can confidently, patiently and without judgement help us, step by step through the healing process. If you are in need of someone to talk with about triggers, past trauma, childhood wounds or repressed emotions. I am available for online booking please contact me directly at: fromanotherealm@gmail.com



Face whatever is holding you back head on and it no longer has power over you, you have power over it! Awareness and anything can't co exist. Awareness is more powerful than your ego, your emotions, your thoughts and your feelings. Awareness is what gets you back home to your soul purpose.


You can use your pain and turn it into power. If you are willing to work on where your pain comes from, the lesson to be learned and turn your knowledge into action, you can use your suffering to turn you into a stronger and wiser person! I look forward to working with you on your spiritual journey.


Love & Light,

Namaste ~ Paulina
