When a person talks about an odd reoccurring dream, how many times have they said,
"My subconscious must be trying to tell me something." The fact is our
subconscious minds send us messages frequently that are both positive and negative.
Much of the time those gut feelings we have are just our subconscious mind letting us know
that we need to do something in particular circumstances. The issue is we more often than
not do not adhere to the messages our subconscious is sending us.
Your Subconscious Has the Power to Hold You Back
Surprisingly of what we hear, see and experience in life is buried in our subconscious. So
if as a youth you were often told that you are not worth much, that you will never meet
you dreams and that you are a failure, your subconscious mind will bury those words. Later
in life when you are older, you see that you have goals but no matter how hard you try,
you cannot meet them because you are always running into problems that set you back.
The truth is that it isn't the obstacles at all but rather your subconscious mind
repeating those words that you heard as a child and repeating them back to you and holding
you back from achieving those goals.
Your Subconscious Has the Power to Push You Forward
On the other hand, the opposite holds trust that if as a youth you have been told
repeatedly that you can do anything you want, and then as you get older you will be able
to accomplish all you set out to do no matter how many people tell you that it cannot be
done.
The Key to the Power of Your Subconscious
The key to harnessing the power of your subconscious is to replace the negative thoughts
that abide there while listening to the helpful messages your subconscious is telling you.
For years self help gurus have told you that the way to increase your self esteem is to
say positive things about yourself out loud. What they are not telling you and in fact,
may not understand themselves is that by repeating these positive remarks over and over we
are burying these positive thoughts in our subconscious and pushing those negative
thoughts even deeper or ridding ourselves of them altogether.
Once we have those positive thoughts buried just below the surface those are the thoughts
that surface unbidden when we try to achieve something. Instead of getting the message, I
can't do this, we are now getting the message that we can accomplish our goal and what is
more, that we deserve to accomplish that goal.
Therefore, when we are faced with our goals, our subconscious is both telling us that we
know how to meet the goal and we certainly deserve all the benefits from our work. This
belief gives us the ability to do anything we set our minds to as long as we work hard at
achieving that goal.
It is surprising just how much you can achieve when you learn to harness the power of your
subconscious.
