The Mind.

THE MIND

In relative to the holy book, Proverbs 4:23 “be careful how you think, your life is shaped by your thoughts”. The mind or rather the brain are used interchangeably, for you to understand the brain is the physical thing which is composed of the nerve cells which can be touched, whereas, the mind is considered mental which cannot be touched.

The brain consist of various parts and each part plays a different role. You may have heard about the conscious and the subconscious mind. And in these blog we are not going to major so much on the details containing the brain, but rather give the difference between the conscious mind and the sub conscious mind and see how this works and how useful it can be to your lives.

Your minds are akin to a computer. Your information are store in your mind. The conscious mind here is the entrance to your mind, it controls your actions and also it’s more logic and reasonable and also helps in decision making. Whereas the subconscious mind is the back of your brain and this part most people ignore because here is where the information and some of the files that are not of use are stored. Psychologist and experts in this fields have special opinion about this specific part, they believe that 95% of our subconscious mind controls what we do. It deals more with our belief, our emotions and memories .They have also stated that the subconscious mind is more a million times more powerful than the conscious mind.

The subconscious mind does not deal with logic or reasoning but is more of habit, belief and repetition. And because of this those habits and belief have been influenced in our lives by people, mentors which  are stored at the subconscious mind and this influence how we show up, what we do and the results we get form our actions.

From the above explanations, I would love to say where you are right now is based on what you believe and the habits you have created. We hear about successful people have good habits which are inspired to us to follow if we wanted to be successful, and I can say that some people find it hard to follow those routine why? Because how they think is different. You may have the right logic and reasons but the wrong belief then the decision you make does not get you to your goal.

Let me give an example of a woman, who weighs 105kg and wants to lose weight to 75kg in the next 2 to 3 months with advices from her doctor and the health books she reads, she decides to enroll to gym services and change her diet from junk foods into healthy eating habit, for that woman to come that conclusion the conscious mind offered the logic and reasoning which led to that decision making. The belief and the right habits were influenced by her doctor and from the books she read. And after 4 weeks of hard training she begins to feel different, receives positive compliments from her doctor, family and friends and she starts to see results. And now as she sits to review her results the subconscious mind is now set and this empowers her to continue till she gets to her targeted goal. Now her subconscious mind has believed through the results and with the habit created it’s no longer hard to do what she needs to do and at the end of the set period she achieves her goal.

You see, if her stored files were corrupted then that means her believes, habits and emotions where not aligned to her goals and therefore she couldn’t achieve. That’s why it’s important to have mentors, family who will help you see the results, fill your files with the right information that will boost your believe and help you take actions that will help you get to your goals.

It is important to remember, if your subconscious mind is not set for success, nothing you learn or know or do will make any difference.

I end my blog with this. What do you want to achieve? And what do you know? And even with that information what do you believe? Is your subconscious mind set to achieve it?

If all the answers to these questions are” YES” begin to act like it.

If you believe you are a great author begin writing those scripts, if you believe you are a business owner begin acting like one, if you believe you are an actor begin to act if you believe you are a leader begin to lead yourself to victory, all you have to do is to believe and start.

There is power in the subconscious mind.
