How Your Subconscious Mind Rules Your Behavior

By Kenneth Sanders


The tricky thing about the subconscious or unconscious mind is that it controls actions from the shadows even if one is not aware of it. However knowing how your subconscious mind rules your behavior is one way to learn how to reprogram the unconscious mind to work differently. Here are a few things that one might want to know about how this part of the mind works.

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.

For example, if a boy has a lack of self of confidence, it would most likely come from a traumatic incident that caused it. Now, the traumatic incident would be stored in the brain database and would serve as the driving force behind such insecure behaviors. To put it short, all of the root causes of how a person acts can be traced to an a memory or a belief that is stored in this part of the brain.

Now, one may actually ask why these memories are so powerful if they are already finished and in the past. Well, it is not really the memories that would create the behaviors but rather the beliefs and perceptions one gets from the experiences. The beliefs that are embedded into the brain would eventually convert to actions.

Going back to the example of the person with self confidence, a traumatic experience could possibly be bullying. Due to his experience with bullying, he then created a belief in his mind that people hate him and are out to get him. With that kind of embedded belief, certain traits such as fear and anxiety would come out.

With that said, it is also actually possible to replace those negative beliefs with more positive beliefs. If it is possible for negative beliefs to stick, then it makes logical sense that one can do the same with positive ones. The only problem here would be that positive beliefs may need some effort and constant reinforcement to be translated into actions.

In order to do this, one has to first change his memories by making new and good ones. By making new and good memories, one will be able to translate them into new beliefs and new perceptions. In a way, it would be like replacing the old bad ones with some new good ones.

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.
