What is the connection between cheating on the test and losing motivation later in your life?
To understand the connection between cheating on the test and losing motivation later , you need to know how your mind works. The subconscious mind is the part responsible for your beliefs and feelings and functions just like a separate part of you. For example, you may try your best to overcome the fear of giving a speech, but you cannot do it on the day of the speech.
This is because your subconscious mind, which works as a separate part of your being, sent the feeling of fear that day.
In the article we wrote about self-confidence, we said that you must convince your subconscious mind with evidence to build self-confidence. For this reason, making a successful public speech several times can significantly reduce your fear once again. Because your subconscious mind has really believed in your skill. As a result, he has abandoned the feeling of fear. Therefore, the conclusion is that:
The subconscious mind is just like a stranger watching you. And before he helps you accomplish a goal, he needs you to provide him with some documents.
Why can cheating in today’s test destroy your motivation to progress five years later?!
For the subconscious mind to help you change a belief or achieve a goal, you must establish trust between yourself and your subconscious! If your subconscious mind believes what you say, he will support you with positive emotions!
It is interesting to know that saying sentences that your subconscious mind does not believe, insinuating without evidence, will decrease your self-confidence.
In other words, building trust between you and your subconscious mind is critical to changing a belief. Now, if you go against your values, your subconscious will place little value on your words, and there will be no trust between you.
When you do something that goes against your deep values, cheat, lie, etc., you will rarely be able to get the support of your subconscious mind, and you will attract negative feelings and lack of motivation.
For this reason, repeating insinuations such as: “I am happy” and “I have high self-confidence” without showing evidence to your subconscious mind is useless because your mind knows you are lying.
The relationship between motivation and honesty
Motivation occurs when your subconscious mind believes in your goals. Now, what if your words have no value? What if your subconscious doesn’t accept your words? What if your subconscious believes you are deceiving him and lying to yourself? he definitely did not believe in your goals and will not believe in your promises.
Because your subconscious only creates motivation when he believes in your goals. If you are constantly cheating and lying to yourself, in this case, to make this belief and motivation, you need more than words.
On the other hand, if you stop lying and cheating, your subconscious will start trusting you.
You can create motivation by thinking about your future goals or making simple promises to yourself, planning , and working towards them.
