Knowing How the Subconscious Mind Works:The Key to Success

Everything that happens in our life is influenced by how the subconscious mind works.

But not everyone knows how they can use this power of the mind to help themselves achieve success in about everything they do.

Some just go through life by relying on the outcomes of their plans, most of which are failures, without trying to use the power they have.

If you have goals to achieve or things that you desire, you can be triumphant in possessing or achieving whatever it is by knowing how the subconscious mind works then try to use it.

But before anything else, you must be asking: What is the subconscious mind?

First you must know that the mind is divided into two: the conscious and the subconscious.

The conscious mind is the part responsible for all thoughts that you are currently aware of. This is the part that's working when you're making decisions, deductions, and other thinking processes involving reason and logic.

The subconscious, on the other hand, is basically the part of the human mind that consists of a person's beliefs and habits. These are the thoughts that are integrated into the mind long before, usually at childhood.

Your childhood experiences basically lay the foundations for your thoughts, beliefs and habits you carry through your life. They create what is sometimes referred to as 'your map of reality'. What you see, hear, feel and experience during the early years is continually being imprinted on your subconscious mind. All this information is then processed and used to create your very own external reality.

Let's say for example, your parents constantly told you as a child that life was a struggle and money was always scarce. Repeated enough times, this kind of information will become part of your subconscious programming.

As you progress through life this programming will keep playing out time and time again, meaning that your life experiences will be that befitting to struggle and scarcity. Get the idea on how the subconscious mind works?

The good thing however, is that you can erase and re-write the childhood programs that are held deep within your subconscious mind.

Below I've included some simple methods you can start using today to slowly reprogram your subconscious so you can begin savouring more and more success in your life.

1. INTEGRATE YOUR GOALS/IDEAS INTO YOUR SUBCONSCIOUS MIND

When you have a goal for example, to be a doctor, or professional athlete you should picture yourself being like one, repeatedly every day.

The goal is to incorporate the idea that you will, one day, become a doctor or professional athlete, into your subconscious mind.

Doing this repeatedly will slowly but surely change your programmed beliefs which will power you on to achieving success with this particular goal.

2. MAKE REQUESTS TO YOUR SUBCONSCIOUS MIND

The subconscious mind doesn't rest. It continually works even at sleep.

Making requests to the subconscious is done by affirming out loud the things you want to have, do and be and then visualizing them just before you go to sleep.

For example, you want to become a professional public speaker, but you're afraid that you lack the confidence and ability to speak in front of hundreds or thousands of people.

Close your eyes, and speak out with emotion "I am a confident, captivating and inspiring speaker", and then imagine yourself walking out on stage in an auditorium of thousands of people and speaking to them with supreme confidence and fluency.

Do this every time prior to going to sleep and the power of your subconscious mind will pick up your request and will slowly and surely find the ways and means for you to achieve and realize this goal.

How your brain works can be really powerful. The brain does not only let you analyze things but it can also shape your character and beliefs.

But its understanding how the subconscious mind works that is the real key to a successful life.

Put simply it's the engine which runs your whole life. The number one determinant to where your destiny lies.

Learn how to use it properly and you literally can achieve success without really having to try very hard.
