Facts On 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.

One example would be if a teenage boy was bullied because he was quiet and not very athletic. Due to that, he most likely has a low self perception because of the incident. So if he exhibits behaviors of insecurity and of low self confidence, then the behavior can somehow be traced back to the bullying incident as the main cause.

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.

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.
