Let’s talk about your subconscious…
You may not always be aware of it, but your subconscious mind is always working in the background. It’s sometimes called the unconscious mind, and it holds all of the stored information of everything you have ever experienced.
The subconscious mind keeps your body temperature at 98.6 degrees, regulates your breathing, and keeps your heart beat steady. It also keeps you thinking and acting in a manner consistent with what you have done and said in the past.
Because of that it influences how you react to things, negatively or positively. It’s the hidden but powerful part that affects things like why you may be fearful, resistant, disappointed in certain situations. And on a good note, why you are motivated, confident, successful, cheerful, hopeful in other situations.
Studies in the field of psychology on how the brain works indicate that the experiences we have shape the way we think and act, especially experiences in our early childhood. Although you don’t remember most of your life data, the unconscious data in your head influences 90 to 95% of your behavior.
A monk was walking down a quiet road when suddenly he heard the sound of a galloping horse.
He turned and saw a man riding a horse in the distance moving swiftly towards him.
When the man on the horse got closer, he slowed down just a bit and the monk asked,
“Where are you going?” To which the man replied, “I don’t know, ask the horse,” and rides away.
The horse in this story represents your subconscious mind running on past conditioning. And sometimes it seems we don’t know where that past programming will take us. If past experiences, conversations, perceptions are in your subconscious mind, running like like this horse, how do we change it when necessary?
Is there a way to update your “horse” with new, positive instructions?
Luckily yes! Because your subconscious doesn’t think or reason independently, it simply obeys the commands it receives from your conscious mind, your conscious thoughts and actions can reprogram it.
You can consciously choose to feed your subconscious with positive, empowering thoughts and here are some ways to do that:
1. Catch your inner critic in the act of saying something negative and ‘flip’ it to the opposite (but something believable)
2. If you want it fast and thorough, SimplyAlign can clean up and re-program thoughts lightening fast
3. Use AFFIRMATIONS to state what you want, who you want to be, and how you want to feel.
