Scientists say that we only use 10% of our minds. So we are wasting another 90% of our time? So why should we content using only 10% of the brain? Are you satisfied with what you are having now, or do you think it can be better? If you think you deserve a better life, then using the power of the subconscious mind will lead you to live the life you want.
If you want to learn to maximize your mind power, then the most important thing is to understand the two functions of your mind power and the interaction between them. You only have one mind, but it has 2 completely different functions, they are:
1. Conscious mind
2. Subconscious mind
To help us understand the conscious and subconscious mind better, we can compare them to a tree and its root …
Conscious mind
Your conscious mind is the tree that helps you deal with everyday situations, such as decision-making, logical thinking, or simply figure out what to do and how to do the best.
When we think of “me”, we think of our conscious mind, which is the mind we are fully aware of. This part of the mind makes decisions for us and guides our activities, it also analyzes, criticizes and even gives instruction to us.
Subconscious mind
Your subconscious mind is the root. This is the foundation and it mainly deals with repetitive learning. This is very helpful to you because it will make it easier for you to deal with a similar situation next time.
Your subconscious mind stores all the knowledge you have acquired. Everything you have ever read, heard, thought or imagined is stored in its huge memory.
Whatever we see, hear, smell, taste, touch, or feel will pass through the conscious mind, reach the subconscious, and be stored there.
What Subconscious mind do?
The subconscious mind is useful in two ways. The first involves receiving information, solving problems, and triggering inspiration.
The second involves programming your mind to enhance your confidence, your self-image, and your ideas and beliefs. This may take a little time at first, but like many things, it becomes easier with practice.
Example how subconscious work
For instance, once you learn the operation of a DSLR camera, you no longer have to think consciously. This is because the next time you plan to set up the camera the way you want and take a beautiful photo, the stored information will automatically give you information related to how to quickly set up.
Just like you have to learn where each letter on the computer keyboard is, you can now type without looking because you have created a mental picture in the subconscious, the actual appearance of the keyboard.
How to train subconscious mind to achieve whatever you want?
It is best to program your subconscious through visualization. Pictures and symbols are by far the most effective way to affect your subconscious mind. When it comes to symbols and pictures, this is why dreams are playing an important role. When you sleep, your brain processes the information and presents it in the form of symbols and pictures.
This can apply to everything. Make sure that affirmation is a positive statement, not negative. For example, if you want to quit smoking, don’t say “I don’t smoke”. You should say “My lungs are pure and healthy”.
The first step in changing your life is to start making an impression in your subconscious mind. You can do this by making affirmations and thinking about certain ideas. For example, if you want to attract money in your life. You can simply repeat the words “I am wealthy and success”. Repeat these words several times a day. It is best to say when you get up in the morning and before bed because at this time your mind is in the alpha state. When you say these words, make sure you are really focusing on these words with emotion. Don’t think this is a chore, otherwise, it will not going to work. You can also say them during meditation.
If you need help solving a problem, or if you have to make difficult decisions, you don’t know which way is best for you. You can seek help from your subconscious mind. For example, you are considering two different job opportunities, and it is difficult for you to make a decision between the two. Ask your subconscious for help. You can say: “My wisdom, I ask for your help and guidance, help me make a decision for me which is the best between these two job opportunities?”
Calm down and listen to your subconscious mind. If necessary, close your eyes and don’t think anything, just listen quietly. If the answer does not appear immediately, it does not matter. It may take a while to look for the answer, maybe the next day or next week. You just need to be alert about it. The answer may come from outside, or maybe after you wake up. You should clear on what your thoughts and know what to do. You may read or hear something that may inspire you. You may get an answer by meeting a friend. He may say something that helps you decide. Just be patient, don’t be frustrated, don’t think too much, soon you will realize the answer.
The great thing about your subconscious is that it never rests. No matter what goal or question you ask your subconscious, it will continue to work hard day and night.
No matter what you think and ponder with strong emotions, you will leave a deep impression on your subconscious mind. This is why you still need to be careful. Excessive worry and negative self-talk can also make a strong impression that will create the opposite result from what you want.
