If you have a steely will and you can will something and stick to it, it’s good! But there is something even better than that!
In this article, you will learn the relationship between the intensity of the will and the subconscious resistance so that you can use a trick to circumvent this resistance when deciding to make a change.
The war of Will and the Subconscious
The subconscious is a very powerful part of you. So powerful that fighting it doesn’t seem wise at all! A genius but a stubborn child who, at the same time, has all the electrical and chemical power in your mind!
Also it occupies 95% of the space in your mind. And this means that although you can overcome it with the power of will, it is better not to do it because it will waste part of your strength anyway!!!
How many times have you decided not to do something or to change a habit? From changing your diet to forgetting someone you’ve been in a relationship with before.
If you pay attention, every time your will to change is more intense, your failure happens faster and bigger! but why?
In the battle of reason and imagination-feeling or the battle of the conscious with the subconscious mind, the subconscious usually or somehow always wins!
Interestingly, a simple mathematical relationship can be established between the intensity of the will of a thing and the subconscious resistance to it:
The degree of subconscious resistance to change is directly proportional to the second power of your will to change that subject.
But what does this mean?
Suppose you want to go on a diet and lose weight, look at these sentences:
- If you’re willing to go on a diet with intensity 0 (meaning you don’t care if you lose weight or not, because you love who you are), then subconscious resistance is virtually zero, that is, with mental images or temptations, he doesn’t invite you to eat more, because he is comfortable and has a sense of freedom!
- If you strongly intend to go on a diet with intensity 1 (that is, it becomes important to you to lose weight), then the subconscious resistance is 1, that is, your temptation is as much as the same will, and pictures of delicious food enter your mind!!! Wow, what a stubborn child he is, this subconscious!!!
- Now suppose you want to go on a diet with an intensity of 10 (that is, losing weight becomes very important to you and hate the current situation) in this case, the subconscious resistance is 100!!!!! That is, the subconscious becomes so rebellious that you will be practically unable to control it!
Do you understand how to avoid the Subconscious Resistance!?
Do not intend anything and be indifferent to whether it will be implemented or not, and love the current situation completely. Another example is that when you are upset, the subconscious is upset because he is responsible for producing emotions. So never force your will to get well! Proceed very slowly and professionally so that you do not fall into the war with the subconscious!
That’s why when you feel guilty about something or hate it, it’s harder to let go! So do not be stubborn and never fight with your subconscious!
