Reprogramming of subconscious mind

By Shriya Gupta

"Know that in your deeper mind are Infinite Intelligence and Infinite Power.”

This inspiring (and somewhat mysterious) quote comes from The Power of the Subconscious Mind by Joseph Murphy.

First published in 1963, the popular self-help book now has almost 46,000 reviews on Goodreads.

WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THE SUBCONSCIOUS MIND?

The easiest way to describe the meaning of the subconscious mind is as follows:

It’s the part of the mind that’s outside of current awareness.
While you go about your day, your subconscious acts as a support system, running your thoughts and emotions on autopilot.

Sigmund Freud, the famous Austrian psychologist who introduced the 3-level Mind Model

He divided mental processing into three core categories:

Conscious: Thoughts and behaviors that you’re aware of.
Example: When you notice you feel cold and put on a sweater.

Unconscious: Events from your past that you cannot remember at all.
Example: Not being able to recall the first word you said on Christmas morning when you were five years old.

Subconscious: Automated actions/responses that you can become aware of with enough intention and focus.
Example: Riding a bike or driving a car becomes automatic — but you had to concentrate to learn these actions in the first place.

Our minds and bodies love to use shortcuts to save on energy.

We have to process an incredible amount of information during our waking hours — more than we can fully comprehend.
The subconscious stands in as a guard — filtering out what it sees as irrelevant and only allowing in what it thinks you need.
Because of this, old, dysfunctional beliefs are often difficult to shift.
The subconscious mind likes to stick to what it already knows — even if those beliefs may secretly be holding you back.

SUBCONSCIOUS MIND EXERCISES

The subconscious mind is in charge of a huge 95% of your brain’s processing power.

Daily activity is recommended in the form of walking, jogging, gym work, or other forms of exercise.

Yet how often do you hear the advice to train your subconscious?
Very rarely.

Let me ask you this:

If you were asked if you’d like to be richer, smarter, or healthier, you’d probably say yes… right?
That’s the conscious mind talking.

But progress will be slow if you’ve developed deep beliefs in the subconscious that are outdated…
Self-doubt, inadequacy, scarcity — all of these are common.
