“You are like a captain navigating a ship. You must give the right orders, thoughts and images to your subconscious which controls and governs all your experiences.” – Joseph Murphy (Author – The Power of Your Subconscious Mind)

What is the Subconscious Mind?

As per the Cambridge Dictionary, the Subconscious mind is the part of your mind that notices and remembers information when you are not actively trying to do so, and influences your behaviour even though you do not realize it.

It’s infinitely powerful and responsible for vital activities like digesting food and regulating heart rate. Along with that, it is also responsible for your beliefs, habits, and fears. It makes up approximately 95% of your total brainpower and tapping into the power of the subconscious mind can be the most helpful way to change your life.

Unleashing the power of your Subconscious mind might take time and effort but it’s worth it. By controlling your thoughts and emotions you can create a positive impact on your life.

• How does the Subconscious work?

Your subconscious works like an algorithm designed to carry out certain tasks based on the information it has been given.  If you want to bring positive changes in your life feed it with positive thoughts.  To change your life, you need to change the information you are providing your subconscious mind.

So, it is very important to feed your mind with the right information.

Let’s learn three effective ways to do this:

1. Self-awareness

The first step to feeding the right information to your subconscious mind is to become aware of your thoughts. Without acknowledging your thoughts, you cannot decide what changes you need to make. Start paying attention to the thoughts and how those thoughts make you feel. The most effective way to do this is to keep a journal about the thoughts running through your head. Once you become aware of your dominant thoughts you may start moulding them and working on them.

2. Positive Self Talk

Words become actions and actions become habits. You must choose your words wisely as they have immense power. When you speak positively about yourself, your subconscious mind starts believing those things as accurate and manifests them into reality.

For example, if you do make a mistake instead of saying  “I’m so stupid ” say “I can do better”. This will program your subconscious mind for success. Be kind to yourself especially when you are at your lowest.

3. Be consistent

Remember when you learned to tie shoe laces when you were a kid you needed to put effort and follow the process but with time it became second nature you can now do it without even thinking about it.

Similarly, if you want something in life like a relationship, more money, health or a new job, it is important to program your subconscious mind on a daily basis about what you want. The most effective way is to write down affirmations or recite them daily until they manifest into reality.
