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.

One of the most important things to take note of would be how this part of the brain functions. Now, one may try to think of the brain as like a big computer that has certain program files in the database needed to run certain applications. In a way, the unconscious brain is the big database that contains all the root files for programs and the behaviors are the applications. So in order to change the behavioral patterns of a person, one has to trace these actions all the way to the unconscious brain first.

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.

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.

Always remember though, that the unconscious brain has this rule that it stores in beliefs that are constantly being reinforced. So if one drums positive beliefs into his or her head everyday, the unconscious brain will see it as a habit and thus embed it inside the database. It will then translate into habit forming behaviors.
