Your subconscious mind is much stronger than your conscious mind. By learning how to program your subconscious mind and use its infinite powers, you will be able to control your behavior and create good habits. It will also be possible to correct beliefs and control unwanted emotions.
To use the power of your subconscious mind, you must first understand how the subconscious mind works. The subconscious mind has its own rules and logic and works according to it.
The principles and rules of the subconscious mind
We advise you first to read the article “What is the subconscious mind” and then read the following supplementary principles carefully:
One of the most important rules is that the subconscious mind does not distinguish between reality and what you imagine:
Have you ever watched a horror movie at midnight? Have you noticed how your heart rate increases and you sweat? Although there is no real danger, this experience will happen to you. The main reason for this problem is that your subconscious mind does not understand any difference between the actual situation and what you imagine and thinks you are in real danger. This is one of the important rules you need to keep in mind. Imagine you are going to give a speech. If, before the lecture and in the previous days, imagine yourself several times while providing a successful speech, your subconscious mind will gradually start to believe, and you will not have any stress during the lecture.
The subconscious mind feels the passage of time faster:
Have you ever noticed that time seems to pass more quickly when you are doing your favorite activity? One of the interesting rules is that the subconscious mind has no understanding of time, so when you are doing your favorite activity or spending time with someone you love, you will not feel the passage of time. The same thing happens during sleep. When you sleep, your conscious mind is almost inactive, and your subconscious mind will dominate. Because of this, time passes much faster!
The longer your subconscious believes something, the harder it will be to change that belief:
If you have held a view for a long time and from the past, it will be harder to change it than a newly formed belief.
Every thought will cause a physical reaction:
If you think you will spoil everything in a speech, you will have stress on the day of the speech. As soon as you start speaking, your heart rate will increase because of your previous negative thoughts, and your breathing rhythm will increase. Your belief or thoughts, and imagination cause this physical change.
Whatever you expect will most likely happen to you:
Your subconscious mind will make whatever you expect to come true. No matter how hard you try, if you think you will fail an exam, your subconscious mind adjusts your mental and physical conditions so that your expectation will come true.
Your subconscious mind is constantly looking for evidence to strengthen your current beliefs:
If you believe you are not beautiful, your subconscious mind will show you minor events around you as proof of the truth of your previous belief.
When there is a conflict with the conscious mind, the subconscious mind will always be the ultimate winner:
If you are afraid of the dark, no matter how hard you try to convince the conscious mind that there is nothing to fear in the dark, the feeling of worry and fear will still exist in you. This is because your subconscious mind is much stronger than your conscious mind.
Once an idea is accepted, it will remain firmly in place until another idea takes its place:
For example, until the 15th century, people believed that the earth was flat. When it was proved that the earth is round, the people of that time replaced the old belief with the new view and accepted it.
One of the rules to remember: The higher the conscious effort, the lower the subconscious response
You can find this out by examining someone with sleep problems. Consciously trying to fall asleep will make you more awake and aware, and you can sleep more quickly by avoiding the conscious effort and thinking about other good things instead.
One of the most practical rules: You can use inception and repetition to program the subconscious mind
This is one of the main ideas behind hypnosis. If the conscious mind’s supervision is absent or removed, the subconscious mind accepts and will accept all inceptions. You can program the subconscious mind by repeating a belief and focusing on it. (A complete dedicated article for programming the subconscious mind by self-hypnosis)
