Most people are already aware of the concept of having a ’subconscious’ mind as well as a ‘conscious’ mind. On the other hand, not many people actually realize just how powerful the subconscious mind can be. In fact, it is without a doubt one of the most powerful tools you have at your disposal, but you need to bear in mind that while your subconscious mind can be your best friend, it can also be your worst enemy, since it’s the subconscious mind that essentially controls the life you live. So, what exactly is the subconscious mind, and why is it important that we pay attention to it?

Practically everyone acknowledges the fact that they have a subconscious mind, despite numerous attempts by professionals to convince us otherwise. Essentially, the subconscious mind could be compared to a game controller, in that it’s responsible for our actions and our thoughts. It’s that little whisper in the back of our mind which speaks to us whenever we find ourselves in a challenging situation. Of course, the manner in which your subconscious mind communicates with you will differ from one person to the next, and no two people will have the same subconscious mind. Irrespective of whether or not people are raised under the exact same circumstances, each one’s subconscious mind will communicate with them differently.

Perhaps you’ve heard your subconscious mind talking to you before, just as you were about to make an important decision. Perhaps it persuaded you to walk away and let’s hope that if you listened, its was for the better. Unfortunately, while the subconscious mind can often save us from disaster, it can also ruin a person’s life. This happens when that voice inside your head continuously tells you that you’re not good enough, or that you’ll never be rich for example. Your subconscious is in essence the way you feel about yourself deep down.

When you’re having deep thoughts and your subconscious mind is telling you negative things, then there’s very little chance that you’ll end up enjoying your life the way you should. Fortunately however, there is something you can do in order to change the way you feel about yourself. In fact you can make your subconscious mind say good things rather than bad so that you can live your life in happiness.

For example, many people firmly believe in the power of affirmations in order to change the way they think. These are essentially statements of a positive nature which one can repeat to oneself several times throughout the course of each day. The beauty of this is that there’s no need to spend vast amounts of money, simply because you can do it all by yourself, at home or even at work. Just take a moment to think about what aspect of your life you’d like to change, and then start thinking about yourself.

If you would like to stop smoking for example, then instead of thinking that you cannot kick the habit, you should rather be thinking how good it feels to be a non smoker. You should write this down on a piece of paper so that you can carry it around with you and read it to yourself whenever the need arises. You could of course also place a copy of it on the mirror, next to your bed, and even next to the toilet, so that you see the message as often as possible during any given day. Your goal should be to repeat this message to yourself as many times as possible each day until such time that your subconscious mind realizes that this is what you are wanting it to think.

In this example, you would soon start noticing that you’re losing weight. On the other hand, if you had been using affirmations regarding becoming wealthy, you would soon see your bank balance increasing. The good news is that you can apply this technique to any aspect of your life. Sound too good to be true?

Let’s take a look at another example which you may even be able to relate to. How often have you woken up a bit later than you should have, and the first thing you think is, ‘I just know that it’s going to be one of those days again’? You jump in the shower, only to realize there’s no soap. You finish up and head to the kitchen for a quick cup of coffee before work, and what happens, you end up spilling coffee over yourself. By the time you get to work you firmly believe that it’s definitely going to be one of those off days. Once in your office you’re faced with several problems and just when you think things cannot get any worse, they do.

Of course the vast majority of people will blame this all on coincidence, but believe me, there is no such thing as coincidence. In fact there’s a reason for everything that happens, and when you have this sort of day the reason is usually your subconscious mind.

In recent times books such as ‘The Secret’ have tried extremely hard to explain this phenomena in scientific terms which is why it is now known as the ‘Law of Attraction’, which states that a person’s subconscious mind not only responds and reacts to real life situations, but that it actually plays a part in creating such situations.

Even though this may all sound a bit far out, the theory has been proven at a subatomic level by means of quantum physics. Interestingly enough, it has been proven beyond all doubt that there is a definite link between matter and a person’s mind. Now we can see why so many religions have believed this to be the case for thousands of years already.

Essentially, if we can create our own reality by using our subconscious mind, then we can in essence choose what kind of reality we wish to experience. It is also worth noting that some of the most influential people in the world throughout the course of history have come to realize this as being fact, and as a result, they were able to accumulate great wealth simply by taking advantage of the power of affirmations.
