The truth about why you do the things you do

The role of the subconscious mind in behavior modification

Ever wonder why it is that you do the things you do when you know better? On a conscious level, you have made the commitment to lose the weight, save the money, buckle down and study, etc., but somehow it gets away from you anyway. Why is that happening over and over again? Because you did not give those set of instructions to your operating system, which is really in charge of what you actually do, that's why.

Your operating system is your subconscious mind and your software is the thoughts and emotions you feed it daily. Your subconscious mind is in charge of you and what you ultimately end up doing. If you want to make lasting changes you must modify or delete the old instructions and add new ones.

So lets look at how that actually works. Your subconscious mind is the seat of emotion. It's language is in pictures and metaphors. It is an association-making mechanism and it's job is to keep you safe. It makes no judgments about the "software" you load, it merely carries out instructions. Wow! How interesting that the very mechanism for keeping you safe would be causing you to stumble, and sabotage you that way.

The old expression, "sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me" could not be further from the truth! In reality, our words are seeds that grow in the fertile soil of the mind as we replay them over and over again.

Consider this example, think about the last time you faced a challenge, the public speech, the first day on the job, a school play you were in as a child, etc. The minute you remember that you stumbled during that challenging incident from your past, or fear that you will stumble in the present moment, it will likely bring to mind a statement you heard in your past that plays all over again. Dad always said, "I was never any good at spelling", the third grade teacher who asked someone else to read aloud because the words were, "too difficult for you" and the list goes on and on.
