Converse With Your Subconscious Mind

[Guest guest]

I refuse to accept the idea that we have an unconscious mind that defies

us by being completely inaccessible. To me, this is a prescription for believing that for the major portion of our lives, we're controlled by unseen and unavailable forces residing within us. I recognize that we're

often totally unaware of why we're behaving in certain ways, but this implies that we have no choice in the matter. Awareness is the simple key for alleviating this condition.Have regular conversations with your subconscious - remind it that you don't want to go through life on automatic pilot. Discuss your unwillingness to be a victim of the whims of that " ghost in the machine " of your body, whose orders originate in the mind viruses and thinking habits that were programmed into it by people who are either long dead or no longer play a role in your adult life.I usually tell my own habitual mind things like this: " I know that I have some really silly leftover habits that were instilled in me a long time ago, and I want you to know that I'm no longer interested in having my actions dictated by you. I'm bringing all

of those old habits of thought to the surface, and I'm going to make a conscious effort to be more aware of all aspects of my life. " I had a conversation like this recently regarding my inclination to misplace my keys. I treated the ghost inside of me that always seemed to

place my car keys in difficult-to-find locations as if it were a real person. While this may seem like an insignificant little habit, for me, changing it was huge. To this day I rarely misplace my keys.Initiate

a conversation with your subconscious mind in which you make it clear that you're not going to let part of your life be run by an invisible stranger who acts and reacts on the basis of memetic or genetic programming. Instead, decide that you're no longer going to allow (or excuse) behavior from an unconscious part of yourself.- Excuses Begone by Dr. Wayne W. Dyer
