I know that many of believe that the unconscious mind is representative of the darker side of we humans. Probably because the scary movies, games and novels portray that evil lives in the unconscious. Plus our unconscious does harbor all of the less than helpful instincts, limiting beliefs and negative behavior patterns that bring out the dark side, the very dark side, in we humans.
The truth is that our unconscious isn’t the dark side. It’s actually simply following our lead.
Our unconscious mind is programmed to serve us. Whether it be recalling a memory of that first big sale or swinging our golf club with our own special form – our unconscious serves up whatever we ask it for in any given situation.
That includes the behaviors and beliefs that don’t appear to serve us on the surface. For example, our fear of snakes, knee jerk defensive reactions and that pesky sugar habit. The reality is – we asked for those behaviors thanks to our internal dialogues with our unconscious minds.
Clarity is the Key
Our unconscious minds need clear direction to serve us well. Very clear direction. That’s why we end up with those pesky habits. You see, our unconscious mind doesn’t hear a negative. Nor does it have it’s own independent processor to decide what’s good or what’s bad. It learns from us, from our experiences, learnings and the way we talk to ourselves.
Which is why it’s so important to be very clear when we talk to ourselves. Our unconscious is listening and learning to every word we say.
- Ask for what you want. Be clear, concise and focused. Only say things that are focused on your goal.
- Focus on what’s working. Modeling success empowers your unconscious mind to positively serve you. The more successes you notice and focus upon, the more success your unconscious mind learns. The more successes it learns, the more positively it will serve you.
- Monitor your self talk. Every single time you tell the story of your problems or woes, your unconscious mind imprints that story as truth. That imprinting impacts how you filter the data from your world – you literally will seek data to prove that sad story.
The Bottom Line
Our unconscious minds are amazing supercomputers programmed to serve us. We program how our unconscious serves us in every moment of our lives.
What program are you running?
