The Incredible Power Of The Subconscious Mind

By Elliot Cox

We are all aware that we have a subconscious mind. Many of us will even place the blame of our activities on the subconscious. How many of us though realize the power of the subconscious mind? It is one of our most powerful tools, and it can either be our best friend or our worse enemy. The subconscious mind ultimately controls the life you live. What exactly is the subconscious mind and why should we pay attention to what it is thinking?

We all admit to the existence of the subconscious mind despite the constant endeavors of some professionals. Our thoughts and actions are directed by this control board. When faced with some tough challenges, it becomes our guiding voice. Every individual's subconscious mind is as unique as a finger print. Even twins have an inner voice which is uniquely their own.

All of us have had encounters with our inner or subconscious mind. In times of distress and confusion or when you were about to take a decision which could destroy your life, your subconscious mind helped you to realize what you were actually doing. It made you weigh the pros and cons of your decision and made you choose the right path. Nevertheless, there are times that many people are told that they aren't really up to the mark or are not good enough or not handsome or beautiful enough. In other words, subconscious is nothing but your deepest feelings about yourself.

Your life will not turn out according to your dreams if you have a negative attitude about yourself. However, it doesn't have to remain that way. You can actually reprogram your attitude, thinking and eventually your life. You can have your dream life by simply reprogramming your subconscious.

Affirmations are one of the most popular ways of changing your thinking. These are nothing but positive statements which are repeated by the person through out the day. This is inexpensive and can be done at home as opposed to those expensive sublimal messaging scripts. All you need here is to know the change you want to bring about.

Let's take weight loss as an example. Start believing and telling your self with total conviction that you are your idea weight. If you want write it down on a piece of paper, stick it on your mirror, record it and make a ring tone and even use the affirmation as a screen saver. Repeat this affirmation till the time your subconscious starts taking it as a gospel truth or in other words it becomes your deepest belief.

Soon this affirmation will become the reality of your life and you will be the slim person you want to be. As a matter of fact, this can work on anything from having more money to even having a great relationship. It may be possible that you still don't believe in this fact.

Here is an example of how your mind impacts your life, without you even realizing it on any given day. Let's say that you wake up late one day. You say or think, 'It's going to be one of those days.' You take a shower and find you are out of soap; you get dressed and spill coffee down your shirt on the way to the office. Again, you think 'Yep, it is definitely going to be one of those days.' You get to work and you are faced with one obstacle after another again, you are thinking that this is one of those days and you even go as far as to think that it can't get any worse and it does.

There are people who may laugh this off as a coincidence. However, coincidences are nothing but myths, there is a reason behind every happening in the universe. Your subconscious works to give you things that coincide with your deepest beliefs and thoughts.

People have realized the true power of subconscious mind with the help of books and movies like 'The Secret'. The 'law of attraction' is now a familiar term with every one. It simply means that your life is nothing but a reality created by your own subconscious beliefs.

Crazy as this seems quantum physics is in agreement with this basic theory and it has been proved that at subatomic level, the existence of matter really is intrinsically linked with the mind of the observer. This is also what the ancient religions have been saying for many thousands of years.

Hence if our subconscious mind creates our reality then we can change this reality with practice. People who have manifested their dreams of wealth through history have only been able to achieve it through a rock solid belief and positive visualization.
