  1. What Does It Mean ToAct Subconsciously? Did you know that you use your subconscious mind every single day? The power and potential of the subconscious is almost limitless. And if you’d like to learn to harness the power of your subconscious, you’ll have to first understand how the subconscious mindworks. Here’s a look at how you think, feel and act subconsciouslyand how different this part of your mind is from your consciousself. What IsConsciousness?

  2. How best can you answer the question: what is my conscious? Your consciousness is your thinking mind. It’s present momentawareness. When in a state of being fully conscious, your mind performs four essentialfunctions: Interprets the five senses of sight, sound, smell, touch and taste. For example, you may stop and look when you hear the loud screech of tires on theroad. Compares information about the observed event with any similar incident stored in your memory. Your mind will compare details about the car with previously stored information about movingvehicles. Analyzes information to take a decision. If the car is headed in your direction, should you step further away from theroad? Makes the decision to continue walking along the same path or move a safe distance away from thecar. What’s The Difference Between Conscience VsConscious?

  3. Both conscience and conscious are related to the mind, but these two concepts are quite different from each other. Your conscience is your moral compass. It’s your ability to tell right from wrong. When you feel guilty about something, your conscience is telling you that you did not act in accordance with your internal morals andvalues. Your conscious mind, on the other hand, is your present moment awareness. It is more concerned with absorbing information, thinking logically, and referring to the data you’re already awareof. Here’s an example of the conscience vs consciousdilemma inaction: Say your friend asks you for advice on a moral dilemma. To understand his problem, your conscious mind will need to process what he is tellingyou. After you’ve understood the facts, your conscience will weigh the potential options in light of your personal beliefs of what’s right and wrong. If you heed your conscience, you will advise your friend on what you think the right course of actionis. What’s The Difference Between The Conscious And SubconsciousMind? In the car example above, your conscious mind made a decision after comparing a present moment event with past experiences. But where did the details of these past experiences comefrom? Your subconscious mind acts as a repository for all you’ve experienced. The information your conscious mind receives comes from your subconscious mind. It’s your subconscious that will tell you whether there is a danger from the fast-moving car. Both the conscious and subconscious parts of our mind help us to make decisions. But our subconscious is responsible for far more than wethink.

  4. Subconscious Definition AndExample Your subconscious is the part of your awareness that rests just below the level of your conscious mind. The subconsciousnessis often best described using the iceberg metaphor. If the conscious mind is the tip of the iceberg, the subconscious is everything below thesurface. Memories in the subconscious data bank can burst into your active, conscious mind. A repressed desire to travel to a new country may lie in your subconscious without your being consciously aware. But sooner or later, that desire will manifestitself. So, what does the subconscious look like in action? Well, driving your car and simultaneously conversing with co-passengers is one. Typing in your old password in your phone every time you need to open it quickly isanother. Information continuously gets transferred from the conscious to the subconscious. The mind possesses the ability to automatically retrieve experiences, lessons, and memories from the subconscious and bring it to the foreground of ourawareness.

  5. Is Subconscious The Same AsUnconscious? The terms subconscious and unconscious are used interchangeably but they are not one and thesame. The subconscious mindis easier to access. It bubbles up organized thoughts from stored thoughts, actions, and behavioralpatterns. The unconscious mind is less accessible. It cannot automatically retrieve memories or patterns the way the subconscious mind can. In the unconscious mind, memories are highly repressed and not readilyavailable. Subconsciously performed actions are instinctual. They are a response to what we have fed the subconscious mind over years ofexistence.

  6. In contrast, the unconscious mind isn’t an active storehouse that automates responses. Rather, it is the place that houses suppressed feelings, desires, phobias (hidden or known) and sensory stimuli.These subliminal stimulioccur without your consciousness orawareness. Even though the unconscious mindis difficult to access, there are psychoanalytic methods you can use to awaken this part of your mind. These methods are often employed as therapy tools and the guidance of a teacher or therapist isrecommended. Can You Change Your SubconsciousMind? Subconscious actions can be both friend and foe. Our subconscious is responsible for both addition forming behavior and positive reinforcementbehavior. So, the question is: can you condition your brain to think and act subconsciously in ways that benefityou? Jim Kwik, Author of Mindvalley’s Superbrain Program, certainly thinksso. “All behavior is belief driven,” says Jim. “First, you create your habits, and then your habits createyou.” Now, given that your habits are impacted by your subconscious reservoir, is it possible to change deeply ingrainedpatterns? Yes. But, there is a catch. There are several techniques you can use to change subconscious beliefs, but be warned. The biggest obstacle in your path will be: yoursubconscious!

  7. How To Change SubconsciousPatterns When you’re stressed, you may binge eat. When you return from home after a long day, you may sit in front of the TV for hours trying to unwind. When you’re alone, you may reach for a drink in an attempt to fend off theboredom. Don’t get your subconscious wrong — it really does have your best interests at heart. Like a parent or best friend, your subconscious mind will go the extra mile to try and make you feel better. It’s just the execution that doesn’t always work toowell. But rest assured, you can control your subconscious mind. And it often starts with becoming aware of your subconsciouspatterns. Every subconsciously performed action is a result of years of conditioning and repetition. And changing those solidified habits can make for one heck of achallenge. Difficult? Yes. Impossible?No.

  8. Your subconsciousness is not rigid or inflexible. Quite the opposite, in fact. By understanding how human behaviors are formed and influenced, you can take proactive steps to modify subconscious patterns and make the seemingly impossible possible! You can master your subconscious and unconscious mind. As a starting point, a deep understanding of how your subconscious mind operates will help you adopt healthy new thoughts and habits. These new ways of thinking can assist in overcoming addiction, meeting your goals, and designing the life of yourdreams.
