About your mind
You have a conscious mind and a subconscious mind. They are very different and operate interdependently.
The Conscious Mind includes functions of: Rational thought, short term memory and will power
The Subconscious Mind includes: Habits and behaviours, long term memory and is the emotional centre of your mind
It is now known that we operate from our subconscious mind about 95% of the day and only 5% from the conscious mind.
If you consider that your habits and behaviours, deepest thoughts and emotions are all stored and accessed from the subconscious mind, it makes a lot of sense to make sure your subconscious programming matches what you are wanting to achieve in life.
This is why so many people find themselves repeating unwanted behaviours, the same type of relationships, fears and phobias and eating like they are possessed. They are operating from programming reinforced over and over to repeat these things again and again.
The subconscious programming begins before birth and continues every moment of every day. Initially you take on your parents programming, then teachers and other kids at school and it continues throughout your entire life. Everything you are experiencing, both positive and negative is stored in your subconscious mind to be accessed the next time you find yourself in a similar situation or feeling a certain way. You have automatic responses to everything.
Your every experience throughout your life is creating your currrent experience. This is great if your programming is positive and healthy.
