Let’s get going on a fascinating discussion on the Power of Your Subconscious Mind.
Watch your thoughts; they become words.
Watch your words; they become actions.
Watch your actions; they become habits.
Watch your habits; they become character.
Watch your character; it becomes your destiny.

Your subconscious is very sensitive to your thoughts.
That’s why watching your thoughts is critical to changing your money mindset.
Your mind works at two levels… the conscious level and a subconscious level.
Meet Your Conscious Half
Let me explain how the conscious and subconscious mind works. This knowledge of the interaction between your conscious and subconscious will enable you, to not only change your money mindset, but to transform your whole life.
You think with your conscious and it’s the rational half of your mind. You make all your decisions with your conscious mind. It’s the part of your mind that makes your choices.
The conscious mind gathers knowledge and experience through the senses. It learns from books, conversation and experience. It reasons and forms conclusions. Thoughts generate at the conscious level and finally passes its thoughts down into the subconscious mind… What you habitually think about all day long sinks down into your subconscious.

Your subconscious level is the cradle of your emotions and creative center in your mind. It’s also where your habits take up residence.
Think of the subconscious mind as the storage room of everything that is currently not in your conscious mind; it stores all your previous life experiences your belief system, your memories, you skills, all situations you’ve been through, and all images you’ve ever seen.
Your subconscious mind runs on auto pilot and will process whatever information enters it. It’s always working. It is active night and day, whether you act upon it or not. Through ceaseless, tireless action of your subconscious mind controls all the vital functions of your body without the help of your conscious mind.
Can you imagine if you had to think about breathing, make your heart pump… thank goodness for the subconscious mind.
Your subconscious mind is far more powerful than your conscious one. When you learn how to train and use your subconscious mind, you can control your behavior, break bad habits, get rid of unwanted emotions; and fix your belief system.
How the Conscious Affects Your Subconscious
Your subconscious is subjective to your conscious mind. It takes orders your give it based on what your conscious mind believes and accepts at true.
Your subconscious mind will begin to execute an idea once it accepts the idea impressed upon it. It will not make comparisons nor does it reason or thinks things out for itself. That job belongs to the conscious mind.
It will accept what ever the conscious mind believes whether it’s true or false.
The subconscious mind learns by repetition and not by logic. It learns by the conscious mind establishing deep grooves from habitual thinking… thinking the same thoughts over and over.
The longer the subconscious mind believes something, the harder it will be to alter this belief in any way: If you have a longstanding belief, it will definitely be more difficult to alter than a recently formed one.
The longer the subconscious mind believes something, the harder it will be to alter this belief in any way.Soothing Conflicts Between Your Conscious and Subconscious Minds
While you may want to change the way you think… your conscious mind will often reject your new thoughts because they are in conflict with your current belief system. The more ingrained the belief… the harder it will be to alter it. Your belief system resides in your subconscious.
The subconscious accepts what you really feel is true. Fortunately, the subconscious mind does not differentiate between visualizations and real situations. You can use this to your advantage and soothe things over between your two minds. Visualize your life with the new beliefs and associate genuine feelings and emotions to your new beliefs. Your subconscious more readily accepted the new thoughts because it really felt they were true.
