It is no secret the mind is one of our human superpowers, however there is so much more to it than what the average person can fathom. Here are 5Â Life-changing Facts About The Subconscious Mind:
1. The Subconscious Mind controls 95Â percent of your life!!!
Yes, only 5% knows what is going on in this reality. Todays science estimates that 95 percent of our brains activity is unconscious, meaning that the majority of the decisions we make, the actions we take, our emotions and behaviors, depend on the 95 percent of brain activity that lies beyond conscious awareness. This is why you hear people saying "WAKE UP"! more than half of our population is sleeping.
2. The Subconscious Mind takes everything literally
The subconscious mind has the habit of taking everything literally. It does not differentiate between negative and positive, nor past or future it simply understands "what is". The subconscious mind is subjective. It doesn’t think or reason independently, it simply obeys the commands it receives from your conscious mind. SO if your conscious mind consistently says "I can't do this" your subconscious minds takes this piece of information, stores it, and uses it as a default answer as you go about your day to day activities. This is why it’s so important to be mindful of your inner thoughts such as; “I am successful” rather than “I will be successful”.
3. Your subconscious mind acts as a computer processor
Every moment that you are awake, your five senses are taking in a constant stream of information. These experiences are stored as memories, like a computer stores data. But we do not need to actively recall most of this information. However, we know these thoughts and images are still in your brain because hypnosis can bring back deep memories. Your subconscious mind can be compared to flying a plane on autopilot. It is constantly running programs to control how we walk, sit, breathe, talk, and so on.
4. The subconscious mind is created through habitsÂ
Your subconscious mind causes you to feel emotionally and physically uncomfortable whenever you attempt to do anything new or different or to change any of your established patterns of behavior. The sense of fear and discomfort are psychological signs that your subconscious has been activated. But it’s been working to establish those behavior patterns in the background long before you’ll ever notice such feelings. You can feel your subconscious pulling you back toward your comfort zone each time you try something new. Even thinking about doing something different from what you’re accustomed to will make you feel tense and uneasy. This is why forming new habits that will help you reach your goals.
5. Awareness is the bridge between the Conscious and the Unconscious mindÂ
Becoming aware of how we think, why we think it, how we feel, why we feel it, what we say to ourselves, why we react the way we do. Think of the subconscious mind and your personal ocean that has yet to be explored. Just like the earths ocean, ONLY 5% has been explored as well! Â
Next time you have a triggering moment, freeze it. Freeze the words, the feelings, the moment and follow that feeling/thoughts down to its root...and NOW we have the power to transmute that energy and reprogram the subconscious mind to work in our favor
