Of course it’s safe to say that everybody is aware of the fact that they have a subconscious mind. In fact, many people are quick to place the blame on their subconscious mind when they’ve done something which they later end up regretting. Ironically, not many people seem to realize just how powerful the subconscious mind can be, and even fewer people realize that while the subconscious mind can be your greatest friend, it can also be a deadly enemy. Either way, it’s one of the most powerful tools you have at your disposal because it is to your subconscious mind which actually controls the way you live.
Even though many professionals have tried to convince us otherwise, the vast majority of people acknowledge the fact that they have a subconscious mind, and that it is literally a mind within a mind. As such, one could compare it to a control board, in that it is able to direct us to carry out certain actions and to think certain thoughts. You could also view it as being that voice inside your head that you hear when you’re in times of trouble. Of course, each person’s subconscious mind communicates with them differently from the next. In other words, no two people have the same sort of subconscious mind even if they have been together since birth, and even if they grew up under the exact same conditions. In fact, not even identical twins have the same subconscious mind as each other.
If you take a minute to think about it, you’ll realize that you’ve often heard your inner mind communicating with you. For example, you could have been on the brink of making an extremely important decision when something in your mind told you to back off. Hopefully, if you did back off, it was the right thing to do. Unfortunately though, that self same inner voice can also be a hindrance, in that it can often tell you that you cannot do something, when in fact there’s no reason why you shouldn’t be able to. It could for example manage to convince you that you’re simply not good enough, or that you’re not very attractive. As such, we can see that the subconscious mind is in essence what you think of yourself deep down.
Of course if those thoughts emanating from your subconscious mind are filled with negativity, then there’s every chance you’ll lead an unhappy life. Fortunately however, you don’t need to resign yourself to a negative subconscious mind because it is possible to change the way you think about yourself.
One common practice which many people use nowadays is a method known as ‘affirmations’, in which you repeat positive statements to yourself throughout the course of the day. The good thing about this method is that it’s not necessary for you to spend a load of money on subliminal messaging scripts because it is something you can do at home by yourself.
If for example you with would like to get fit, then instead of focusing on the fact that you’re out of shape, you should focus on how good it feels to be in shape. You need to write something along these lines down on a piece of paper which you can carry around with you in case you start doubting yourself. In order for this method to have maximum affect, you should even go as far as pasting a note of it in various parts of your home so that you see it as often as possible. The aim is for you to repeat this to yourself as much as possible each day so that your subconscious eventually comes around to your way of thinking.
In this example, you will soon start becoming fit, but if you used affirmations for some other purpose such as to make money, then you’ll also discover your bank account will soon begin improving.
If you’re still not sure then let’s take a look at a different scenario, and one which you more than likely experienced before yourself. You wake up in the morning and realize you’re going to be late for work, and the first thing that comes to mind, is that you say to yourself you can’t believe it’s going to be another one of those days. After getting out of the shower you get dressed only to realize that you can’t remember where you put your keys. Yes, it’s definitely going to be one of those days. After some frantic searching you find your keys and head out to your car but unfortunately your dog has messed right in the center of the pathway and now you have it all over the underneath of your shoe. Even when you do eventually to get to work, you’re faced with one problem after another. In fact it gets steadily worse until it reaches a point where you firmly believe it cannot get worse than what it already is, only to discover it gets significantly worse.
While many people would blame this on coincidence, saying that if they had remembered to set the alarm, they would not have woken up late, and if they had looked where they were going, they would not have stepped in the dog’s mess. However, there is no such thing as coincidence, in that everything happens for a reason, and in most cases, your subconscious mind is the reason.
Many people have already tried to explain this phenomenon in scientific terms, as can be seen in books like ‘The Secret’. Even though it has proven to be extremely difficult to explain, this phenomenon has however become known as the ‘Law of Attraction’. This law states that a person’s subconscious mind actually creates reality rather than only influencing it.
Even though this may all sound a bit far out, the theory has been proven at a subatomic level by means of quantum physics. Interestingly enough, it has been proven beyond all doubt that there is a definite link between matter and a person’s mind. Now we can see why so many religions have believed this to be the case for thousands of years already.
Obviously, if we create our own reality with us subconscious mind, then we can buy all accounts choose what sort of reality we wish to experience. Using nothing more than affirmations, some of the wealthiest people in history have managed to accumulate vast amounts of money. This is because they continuously and consistently believed that they were becoming rich
