You may think that your conscious mind is in charge, making all the decisions, but this assumption could not be farther from the truth.
There is another,deeper layer of your mind that drives most of what you do.This is the part of the brain where habits are formed and decisions are made without you being aware of them.
It is a seat of creativity, inspiration and even spiritual awakening. Remember the time when you were trying to remember an acquaintance’s name but could not recall it no matter how hard you tried; and then while driving two hours later, a voice in your head called out the name. This voice was the voice of your subconscious.
Limitations of the Conscious Mind
There is so much going on around in the environment that our conscious mind is not able to handle it all. While talking to a friend in the middle of a supermarket, you only hear what she is saying. However, there are a lot of things going onin the environment, such as the store manager telling his employee to concentrate or a baby crying in the background. All of this is registered by your subconscious mind.
The Subconscious Mind and Beliefs
All the preconceived notions that your parents instilled in you during your childhood and all your beliefs have become a part of your subconscious mind. No matter how faulty these beliefs may be, such as “I can’t do this or I don’t deserve that”,they have sub consciously become a part of your life and have taken over the way you navigate through it.
With such impressive power over you, imagine if you could find a way to alter subconscious mind’s course and harness it to your advantage.
Let us take a look at some ways you can do that:
Being Aware of Your Subconscious Processes at Work
The first step in harnessing the power of subconscious is to understand how it works and what effect it has on you.Read whatever you can about the subconscious mind. Also, catch yourself while making any faulty assumption and ask why you might be thinking that way.
Believing That All Change Comes from Within
The mind is a powerful tool and that’s not difficult for any human being to appreciate. However sometimes, we may underestimate its true potential.How a human being is able to get over the trauma of the death of a loved one is truly astounding. Believing that you have the power to change is of utmost importance when trying to master subconscious processes.
Changing Old Faulty Habits
Whether you are a procrastinator or you avoid new and challenging situations,you have to find a way to enterthe subconscious and break through these faulty habits.Hypnosis and meditation are two of the most effective methodologies to do this. Taking you to an altered, more focused state of mind, they can help break unhealthy habits and pave the way for new ones.
Imagine Yourself Achieving Your Dreams
Imagining yourself winning is a sign that you think you can achieve whatever it is you are trying to achieve. It is your conscious mind’s message to the subconscious mind that it is ready for the challenge.Creative visualization and mental rehearsal techniques can be employed to have a greater impact.
