Subconsciously

1. What Does It Mean ToAct Subconsciously? Did you know that you use your subconscious mind every single day? The power and potential of the subconscious is almost limitless. And if you’d like to learn to harness the power of your subconscious, you’ll have to first understand how the subconscious mindworks. Here’s a look at how you think, feel and act subconsciouslyand how different this part of your mind is from your consciousself. What IsConsciousness?

2. How best can you answer the question: what is my conscious? Your consciousness is your thinking mind. It’s present momentawareness. When in a state of being fully conscious, your mind performs four essentialfunctions: Interprets the five senses of sight, sound, smell, touch and taste. For example, you may stop and look when you hear the loud screech of tires on theroad. Compares information about the observed event with any similar incident stored in your memory. Your mind will compare details about the car with previously stored information about movingvehicles. Analyzes information to take a decision. If the car is headed in your direction, should you step further away from theroad? Makes the decision to continue walking along the same path or move a safe distance away from thecar. What’s The Difference Between Conscience VsConscious?

3. Both conscience and conscious are related to the mind, but these two concepts are quite different from each other. Your conscience is your moral compass. It’s your ability to tell right from wrong. When you feel guilty about something, your conscience is telling you that you did not act in accordance with your internal morals andvalues. Your conscious mind, on the other hand, is your present moment awareness. It is more concerned with absorbing information, thinking logically, and referring to the data you’re already awareof. Here’s an example of the conscience vs consciousdilemma inaction: Say your friend asks you for advice on a moral dilemma. To understand his problem, your conscious mind will need to process what he is tellingyou. After you’ve understood the facts, your conscience will weigh the potential options in light of your personal beliefs of what’s right and wrong. If you heed your conscience, you will advise your friend on what you think the right course of actionis. What’s The Difference Between The Conscious And SubconsciousMind? In the car example above, your conscious mind made a decision after comparing a present moment event with past experiences. But where did the details of these past experiences comefrom? Your subconscious mind acts as a repository for all you’ve experienced. The information your conscious mind receives comes from your subconscious mind. It’s your subconscious that will tell you whether there is a danger from the fast-moving car. Both the conscious and subconscious parts of our mind help us to make decisions. But our subconscious is responsible for far more than wethink.

4. Subconscious Definition AndExample Your subconscious is the part of your awareness that rests just below the level of your conscious mind. The subconsciousnessis often best described using the iceberg metaphor. If the conscious mind is the tip of the iceberg, the subconscious is everything below thesurface. Memories in the subconscious data bank can burst into your active, conscious mind. A repressed desire to travel to a new country may lie in your subconscious without your being consciously aware. But sooner or later, that desire will manifestitself. So, what does the subconscious look like in action? Well, driving your car and simultaneously conversing with co-passengers is one. Typing in your old password in your phone every time you need to open it quickly isanother. Information continuously gets transferred from the conscious to the subconscious. The mind possesses the ability to automatically retrieve experiences, lessons, and memories from the subconscious and bring it to the foreground of ourawareness.

5. Is Subconscious The Same AsUnconscious? The terms subconscious and unconscious are used interchangeably but they are not one and thesame. The subconscious mindis easier to access. It bubbles up organized thoughts from stored thoughts, actions, and behavioralpatterns. The unconscious mind is less accessible. It cannot automatically retrieve memories or patterns the way the subconscious mind can. In the unconscious mind, memories are highly repressed and not readilyavailable. Subconsciously performed actions are instinctual. They are a response to what we have fed the subconscious mind over years ofexistence.

6. In contrast, the unconscious mind isn’t an active storehouse that automates responses. Rather, it is the place that houses suppressed feelings, desires, phobias (hidden or known) and sensory stimuli.These subliminal stimulioccur without your consciousness orawareness. Even though the unconscious mindis difficult to access, there are psychoanalytic methods you can use to awaken this part of your mind. These methods are often employed as therapy tools and the guidance of a teacher or therapist isrecommended. Can You Change Your SubconsciousMind? Subconscious actions can be both friend and foe.
