Mind, Subconscious

Reading 'Blink' got me into thinking about the power of the unconscious mind(sub-conscious). How many times have you done something wonderful without planning or thinking about it? Some of our best decisions are made instantaneously. And all those times something like that happened, I thought it was pure luck, and you probably did too. But it isn't. That's your subconscious.

When I crack a good joke, I don't think ages to get one. In fact, never have I got anything like by mere mental force. It happens, just like that, blink! And I am sure, it's the same for you. Memory is unconscious as well, we don't 'think' to remember. And many other normal daily activities are because of the subconscious mind.

Well, great! The subconscious is powerful, so what? We can't use it at will. Or can we? I'm not sure, but I'm pretty sure we can. It's always working, behind the 'locked door'. You need to just think less and feel more. Try to capture your instincts, like a first impression.

The law of your mind is the law of belief itself.
75% of all sickness is from the mind. If you feel healthy, you are healthy. If you feel happy, you are happy. So just feel happy, feel good. The subconscious will register that. And it works! I've tried it. Positive thinking works because it 'primes' your subconscious with good thoughts.

I was always a mindful, analyzing type of person. I analyze too much. I've decided to reduce that. Introspection can be dangerous. It can confuse the subconscious with too many signals. But changing habits is hard.

Although the subconscious is powerful, it's still a human thing:It makes mistakes. So balance is important as well.

So, Listen to your intuition, but don't be led astray.
