How does your mind work?
What is going on behind the scenes of your thoughts, emotions, and actions? If you understand the model of the mind you can get valuable insights into how to make positive changes in your life.
The model of the mind is based on the idea that we have a conscious mind and a subconscious mind. The conscious mind is the part of your mind that is aware of your thoughts, feelings, and surroundings at any given moment. It's the part of your mind that you use to think, reason, make decisions, and take action.
However, the subconscious mind is the part of our mind that operates below our level of conscious awareness. It is responsible for a wide range of automatic functions in the body, such as our breathing, our heart rate, and digestion. Our emotions, beliefs, and memories are all stored in the subconscious.
The conscious mind can only hold a limited amount of information at any given time, however, the subconscious mind has a much larger capacity to store and process information. The subconscious mind has a greater influence on our thoughts, feelings, habits & behaviors and often this is done without us even being consciously aware of it.
The subconscious mind is much more powerful than the conscious mind. It's estimated that the subconscious mind is responsible for about 90-95% of our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, while the conscious mind accounts for only about 5-10%.
So why is the subconscious mind so powerful?
It's because it operates on a different level of processing than the conscious mind. The conscious mind operates on a logical, rational, and analytical level, while the subconscious mind operates on an emotional, intuitive, and automatic level.
The subconscious mind is like a huge library of information that stores all your experiences, thoughts, and emotions from birth. It's also responsible for creating and maintaining your self-image, which is the mental picture you have of yourself and your abilities.
The critical factor is the part of your mind that acts as a filter between the conscious and subconscious minds. It's the gatekeeper that determines what information gets into the subconscious mind and what gets rejected.
The critical factor is influenced by your beliefs, values, and attitudes, as well as your past experiences and conditioning. It's also influenced by your state of mind, such as whether you're relaxed or stressed, focused or distracted.
When you're in a relaxed and receptive state, the critical factor is more flexible and allows more information to pass into the subconscious mind. This is why techniques such as hypnosis, meditation, and visualisation can be so effective in reprogramming the subconscious mind.
How to work with the subconscious mind to make a change in your negative emotions and overcome limiting beliefs.
The first step is to become aware of your negative emotions and self-limiting beliefs. This means paying attention to your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, and identifying any patterns or triggers that may be causing you distress.
The second step is to challenge and reframe your negative emotions and self-limiting beliefs. This means questioning the validity of your thoughts and beliefs, and replacing them with more positive and empowering ones.
The third step is to use techniques that bypass the critical factor and communicate directly with the subconscious mind. These techniques include hypnosis, meditation, visualisation, affirmations, and self-hypnosis.
Hypnosis is a state of deep relaxation and focused attention that allows you to bypass the critical factor and access the subconscious mind directly. In hypnosis, you can use suggestions and visualisations to reprogram your subconscious mind and change your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.
Meditation is a practice of mindfulness and awareness that can help you to relax and focus your mind, and develop a more positive and compassionate outlook on life. Meditation can also help you to access your inner wisdom and intuition, and connect with your subconscious mind.
Visualisation is a powerful technique that involves creating mental images of the outcomes you desire. By visualizing your desired outcome, you're communicating with your subconscious mind and programming it to help you achieve your goals.
Affirmations are positive statements that you repeat to yourself to reinforce positive beliefs and attitudes. By repeating affirmations, you're sending a message to your subconscious mind that you're capable, deserving, and worthy of success and happiness.
Self-hypnosis is a technique that involves inducing a hypnotic state in yourself, without the help of a therapist or hypnotist. With self-hypnosis, you can use the same techniques as in hypnosis to reprogram your subconscious mind and make positive changes in your life.
Working with the subconscious mind can be a powerful tool for personal growth and transformation. By understanding how the conscious and subconscious minds work, and using techniques to communicate with your subconscious mind, you can overcome negative emotions and self-limiting beliefs, and achieve your goals and aspirations.
It is crucial to understand that the subconscious mind is a potent tool that follows your commands, and whatever you teach it to believe, it will manifest in your life. However, the subconscious mind cannot differentiate between reality and imagination, right or wrong. Your thoughts, whether positive or negative, determine the beliefs that the subconscious mind follows. Therefore, if you repeatedly think negative thoughts, your subconscious mind will make it your reality, leading to negative behaviors and beliefs that can hinder your progress towards achieving your goals.
To break free from these limiting beliefs, you must learn to harness the power of your subconscious mind and replace negative thoughts with positive ones that align with your goals. By doing so, you can create a new reality that supports your aspirations and helps you achieve your desired outcomes.
That's why it's important to focus on positive thoughts, emotions, and beliefs, and avoid negative thoughts and emotions that can reinforce self-limiting beliefs. Therefore, if you desire to make positive changes in your life, you need to work with your subconscious mind to develop new positive beliefs and attitudes that will align with your goals and aspirations.
In addition, it's important to be patient and persistent when working with the subconscious mind. It takes time and repetition to create new neural pathways and habits that will support your goals and aspirations. So, don't give up if you don't see immediate results.

Finally, it's important to take action towards your goals and aspirations, and not just rely on visualization and affirmations alone. The subconscious mind is a powerful tool, but it's only part of the equation. You need to take action towards your goals and aspirations to make them a reality.
In conclusion
The model of the mind is a powerful tool for personal growth and transformation. By understanding how the conscious and subconscious minds work, and using techniques to communicate with your subconscious mind, you can overcome negative emotions and self-limiting beliefs, and achieve your goals and aspirations. Remember to be patient, persistent, and take action towards your goals, and you'll see the positive changes in your life.
