In this article I am going to talk to you about how your subconscious mind works
First of all, I give you a little context of some of the parts that make up your mind, which are: conscious mind, preconscious mind and subconscious mind.
The subconscious
Your subconscious mind is the one in charge of storing all types of experiences that you have had until today Even if you don’t remember it consciously, unconsciously it is there, because that is the job of the subconscious, to store and process all the information in a way that clears space in the conscious and preconscious mind.
Imagine that information is stored in a database, like computer software. This software that you have affects the development of your life, for better or worse, that is, given the conditioning that your software knows, it will be the level and quality of the tools with which you face your life, the perception of it, and how you develop in it.
Right now you may be wondering, What if I had a bad childhood, does that mean my life will be bad forever? The answer is relative, it may be or it may not be, it depends on many things, but mainly it depends on the subject in question.
For example, if you had a bad childhood, and you do not want those patterns to continue repeating in your adult life, you have the complete right to change the course of your life. Just because your subconscious contains childhood programs doesn’t mean it can only operate from them, your subconscious is part of YOUR mind, therefore it belongs to you and responds to you, so you have the power to update and replace it. old programs, for new programs more aligned with the life you truly want to live.
And how do I deprogram my subconscious?
For deprogramming the subconscious there are the following tools: awareness, positive affirmations, shadow work, psychotherapy, detection of negative patterns, self-awareness, interest in yourself, audios while you sleep (subliminal or not), hypnotherapy, among others.
Next, I will explain one by one the tools you can work with to successfully reprogram your subconscious.
1. Awareness
Awareness consists of detecting and knowing everything that causes you emotional discomfort in your present life, that is, bring to light every habit, belief or behavior that is not contributing something for your good and stop normalizing it, thus allowing yourself to see it as something that can be transformed or to be transformed.
2. Positive affirmations
These are created from detecting some self-destructive thought, such as: “I am worthless”, and replacing it with the positive affirmation “my value is infinite”, thus allowing your subconscious mind to discard and reject the old belief for a new and renewed one more aligned with the new version of you, that you want to create.
3. Shadow work
Shadow work consists of sitting down to illuminate everything that weighs, drains or ties to the past or old patterns, self-destructive patterns and accompanying yourself as many times as necessary to redirect all intrusive, unbalanced thoughts, etc., a level of self-awareness is required. and dedication high. In short, it is done little by little and day by day, it can be accompanied by psychotherapy.
4. Psychotherapy
As is well known, psychotherapy is a psychotherapeutic process focused on helping the patient free himself from everything that generates emotional discomfort in his life, thus allowing you to reconnect with yourself and help you develop emotional skills which you can use both with yourself and with others, your environment and life context.
5. Negative pattern detection
This consists of developing such a degree of self-knowledge that allows the person to realize when they are acting from their unbalanced ego, emotional or psychosomatic wounds, fears, negative conditioning, etc.
6. Self-awareness
Self-awareness is developed through having an infinite interest in ourselves , in why we are the way we are, why we act the way we act, from where we are acting, how we are acting and above all, questioning whether we want to change, to be someone different, to stop being a certain person, to start ” be”. Realize our attitudes, successes, errors, behaviors, thoughts, patterns, without any judgment, only interested in understanding ourselves in depth and having clarity about who we are.
7. Interest in you
As the phrase says, and as mentioned above, having an interest in ourselves is vital for successful subconscious reprogramming, if there is no interest in yourself, then none of the work you do will have enough meaning for you to truly notice a change. . Here, nothing more and nothing less, invites you to have and approach this process from intrinsic motivation.
8. Audios while you sleep
This is a very effective way, because a subliminal effect is created in your brain, allowing you to reprogram while you rest, in this case, you will only be feeding your program with new codes, not necessarily actively replacing the old ones, but yes. adding new codes that will be ready to use if you allow it You can use this method for months, weeks, or however you feel it will be useful to you, once you start to see results, you can change positive affirmations, which of course you know will be useful for the specific issues you want to work on.
9. Hypnotherapy or hypnosis
This method consists of directly accessing the subconscious mind, asking direct and specific questions to access the necessary information , leaving the conscious mind (ego) aside for a while, so that it does not intervene and distort the information. Only a hypnosis specialist can perform hypnotherapy, it is not something to be taken lightly.
Concluding…
So, in conclusion, your subconscious mind is a robot filled with both good and bad information; Now that you know how it works and that it is possible to reprogram it, It’s basically relative whether or not he becomes your best friend It is said that 90% of our decisions and our lives are governed by the subconscious mind, so I invite you to question yourself, question a lot, whether or not you are satisfied with the programs you currently operate with in your life.
Remember that everything you see, repeat, affirm and hear constantly is what you program in your subconscious mind, that is why it is so important to have a conscious relationship with it (example: the music you listen to, your internal dialogue, what you see on television, what you believe, everything you consume on an intellectual level).
