We also know the power of the subconscious mind, since every day we do so many things without even thinking. We shower, get dressed, brush our teeth, have breakfast, and get ourselves to work and home again without even giving it a second thought. We just trust our unconscious mind to take care of these things, and it does.
How Did I Get Here?
If you’re skeptical, let me ask you this question: have you ever driven your car or taken a walk and suddenly realized you didn’t remember how you got where you were?
Your subconscious mind got you there, and you can trust it. If you had come across a stop sign or something happened that needed your attention, your conscious mind would’ve taken control in an instant.
This ability is really very helpful: it means that you don’t have to read the directions on the toothpaste tube for how to brush your teeth or look at a map (or use a GPS) to find your way to work or back home again.
It’s the same process for almost everything you do in life. And not just what you do, but what you think, feel, and say as well.
Your unconscious actions might apply to the food you eat, the cigarettes you smoke, or your habit of not rising early enough in the day to take a walk. Interestingly, your thoughts can also be habitual, and so can your feelings—so that when something happens, like when the neighbors turn their music up too loud as soon as they get up in the morning, you might think, “There they go again! They probably do it just to annoy me.” You feel frustrated and angry but don’t know what to do, so you just put up with it.
You struggle to even contemplate that there might be something you could do about it, because your current response has become habitual. This is probably what you have always done and always do in such circumstances.
From your observations of those people most important to you (who in the first instance are generally your parents), you learn how to respond to the things that happen in your life. You then think, feel, and behave in exactly that way, over and over again, until something happens that forces you to rethink those responses. Only then are you likely to try something different.
Would love to have your thoughts and comments on this topic.
To the wonder of you,
