How Your Subconscious Mind Rules Your Behavior

By Kenneth Sanders


By knowing how your subconscious mind rules your behavior, It is actually possible to change attitudes and behavioral patterns into more desirable ones. Of course, this would take an in depth knowledge about ones subconscious or unconscious part of the brain. As long as one knows about how to fix it, then one can even fix him or herself from possible deep rooted self issues that may stem into negative behaviors.

The first thing to know would be how the subconscious or the unconscious part of the brain works. The key takeaway to know about the unconscious part would be that it is a big database that stores information that may affect behavioral patterns. This part would store in all the beliefs, life experiences, memories, and learnings. All of these things would contribute to how one would behave as the root cause of behavioral patterns.

It would be best to explain how this works through an example. For instance, if a young teenage girl suffered from bullying back when she was much younger, it is no surprise that she may portray some insecurities or lack of self confidence due to the traumatic incident. One can say that the traumatic memory may actually be the cause of the certain behaviors that she is exhibiting.

Looking further, these experiences can cause him to have beliefs. Now, take note that it is not the experience per se that would create the negative behavior but rather the reaction to the experience. The reaction would turn into beliefs and the beliefs would be the ones to turn into actions.

Taking a look again at the example of the girl who was bullied, the bullying incident can make her have certain negative beliefs in herself that translate to actions. She most likely embedded a certain belief that she was strange or that people really hated her. With that, she may exhibit actions such as isolation or irritability.

Knowing this, one may ask if it is possible for behaviors to be changed since beliefs are already embedded into this database in the mind. The simple answer is yes because the unconscious brain has this rule that one will get whatever he or she puts emphasis on. So if a belief was embedded, then one most likely kept on focusing on the incident and the belief.

So if one would want to change behaviors, then he or she has to first change those beliefs. In order to do so, one has to first create more memories that have more impact than the last traumatic ones. These good memories will then become more powerful beliefs which will translate to action.

As one can see, the unconscious mind is an extremely powerful entity that can make or break a person. If one fills his or her subconscious with negative things, then negative behaviors would stem out. If one fills it with positive beliefs though, then the more positive behaviors and actions would stem out.
