Subconscious Mind Secrets And Myths

By Geoff Vincent

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.

Perhaps you've heard your subconscious mind talking to you before, just as you were about to make an important decision. Perhaps it persuaded you to walk away and let's hope that if you listened, its was for the better. Unfortunately, while the subconscious mind can often save us from disaster, it can also ruin a person's life. This happens when that voice inside your head continuously tells you that you're not good enough, or that you'll never be rich for example. Your subconscious is in essence the way you feel about yourself deep down.

Of course, if those thoughts which come from deep within are negative, then there's not much chance that you will ever be able to enjoy the type of life you long for. On a more positive note; it is possible to change the way a subconscious mind thinks, and in so doing, you can successfully changed the way you live your life so that you can enjoy it to the fullest.

In order to achieve this, many people rely on affirmations so that they can change the way they think. Affirmations are essentially positive statements which one can repeat to oneself several times each day. Unlike subliminal messaging scripts, affirmations don't require you to spend any money, simply because you can do it yourself at home. The first step you need to take is to start thinking about which aspect of your life you would like to change, and then you can follow up by thinking about 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 would soon start noticing that you're losing weight. On the other hand, if you had been using affirmations regarding becoming wealthy, you would soon see your bank balance increasing. The good news is that you can apply this technique to any aspect of your life. Sound too good to be true?

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.

Now, if you're like so many others, you'll simply put it all down to coincidence but the only problem is, there is no such thing as coincidence. Instead, everything happens for a reason. In fact, it's usually your subconscious mind which 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 some people may consider this to sound a little crazy, quantum physics is however in agreement with this theory. In fact, it has already been proven that matter is linked intrinsically to the mind of the observer. Interestingly enough, many religions have been preaching this long before science came along and proved it.

What you need to bear in mind is that because you can create your own reality with your subconscious mind, it is possible to create a reality of your choice. In fact, some of the wealthiest people in history have become wealthy simply because they have consistently believed and visualized themselves acquiring a vast amount of wealth. - 30535
