You might think your present thoughts are the only things in your mind. Actually, your subconscious mind has been storing your thoughts since you were an infant. It is responsible for all of our thoughts, actions, and feelings. This blog post tells you why it is important to train your subconscious mind, how the subconscious works, and how you can train it to work for you.
Training your subconscious mind is important because it is the part of your mind that controls your automatic thoughts, habits, and behaviors. Your subconscious mind is responsible for your beliefs, emotions, and values, and it works in the background to influence your decisions and actions.
When you want to change your thinking, habits, or behaviors, you need to reprogram your subconscious mind to adopt new beliefs and behaviors. This is because your subconscious mind is like a tape recorder that plays back the same old tapes over and over again. If you want to change your tapes, you need to re-record new ones.
By training your subconscious mind, you can create new neural pathways that will allow you to adopt new ways of thinking and behaving. You can also reframe your beliefs and emotions so that they are more positive and empowering.
It is your present mind. You are more aware of your conscious thoughts. You use this part to think, reason, and decide.
However, your conscious mind can process only a small amount of information at one time. This means that most of your thought processes go on in your subconscious and unconscious mind.
The subconscious mind is the part of our psyche that is just below the level of our conscious awareness. It stores information that you don’t actually “know”. But it still affects your thoughts, emotions, and behaviours.
For example, You may have a strong desire to be loved stored in your subconscious. It can show in your behaviour and dealings with people. You may even overlook red flags in a relationship.
The subconscious mind is shaped by past experiences, and it uses those experiences to inform its automatic responses to various stimuli. For example, if you had a traumatic experience with dogs in the past, your subconscious mind may automatically generate fear and anxiety when you see a dog, even if you consciously know that the dog is not a threat.
The subconscious mind is always processing information in the background, and it makes decisions and generates responses based on its stored memories and beliefs. This is why it can be difficult to change automatic behaviors and thought patterns without first reprogramming the subconscious mind.
The subconscious mind responds to the instructions and suggestions that it receives, whether they come from external sources (such as hypnosis) or from your own internal dialogue.
However, it is important to note that the subconscious mind responds more readily to suggestions that are consistent with its existing beliefs and values. If you try to give it a command that conflicts with its preexisting programming, it may resist or generate conflicting responses.
One of the powerful ways to influence your subconscious mind is through hypnosis. Hypnosis is an altered state of consciousness in which the hypnotherapist can directly communicate with your subconscious mind to make positive changes.
By putting yourself in a hypnotic state, you can reprogram your subconscious mind to create new habits and beliefs.
Another way to influence your subconscious mind is through repetition. By repeating a certain behaviours or thought pattern, you can train your subconscious mind to make it a habit. For example, if you want to become more positive, you can repeat positive affirmations to yourself every day.
You can reprogramme your subconscious mind through visualisation. For example, if you want to achieve a goal, you can see yourself already achieving it. It is a common method we use in hypnotherapy, too. It can hike your morale.
Use Your Subconscious Mind to Create
You can do so many creative things:
Believe it or not, your subconscious mind is also involved in the decision-making process. While the conscious mind is responsible for weighing pros and cons and making logical decisions, the subconscious mind can also influence the decision-making process by providing a gut feeling or intuition.
One way to tap into your subconscious mind when making decisions is to trust your instincts. If you have a strong feeling about a certain choice, even if you can’t explain why, it may be worth considering.
Your subconscious mind won’t accept change easily… especially if it is against its pre-existing programming. So, you can use hypnotherapy to help it accept the changes. You can take hypnosis sessions for anxiety, depression, addiction, and even physical pain. Hypnosis helps you replace your negative thoughts into positive behaviours.
Your subconscious stores your most negative thoughts that can develop negative behaviours. However, you can train it to change negative thoughts into positive ones, too. Hypnotherapy can help you look into training it.

It is believed that you have the ability to influence and control your subconscious mind. Your subconscious mind plays a crucial role in determining your comfort zone and is responsible for habituating you to certain actions that can lead to success, happiness and wellness in your life. To control your subconscious mind and make it your ally, there are a few steps you can take:
Firstly, create a vision space by having a crystal clear image in your mind for what you want to achieve. This will help you focus your thoughts and intentions on your desired outcome.
Secondly, instead of focusing on how you will achieve your ultimate vision, imagine yourself already having achieved it. This will help you tap into the power of your subconscious mind to manifest your desires.
Finally, identify any resistance you may have to pursuing what you truly love. Our subconscious minds often hold us back because of conflicting beliefs we may have. By identifying and addressing these conflicting beliefs, you can start to retrain your subconscious mind to support your goals and desires.
We can influence our subconscious through feelings, positive affirmations, visualization, Hypnosis, Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), and other techniques. Ultimately, learning to understand and work with the subconscious can help us achieve greater self-awareness and personal growth.
Our habitual behaviors, emotional responses, and intuition, which are all driven by the subconscious mind without conscious awareness or effort.
An example of the subconscious mind at work is the automatic response of pulling your hand away from a hot stove without consciously thinking about it, so as to protect you from getting hurt.
Another example of the subconscious mind at work is the act of driving a car. When you first learn how to drive, you have to consciously think about every action – from pressing the gas pedal to turning the steering wheel. However, after you have been driving for a while, these actions become automatic and require little conscious thought. This is because your subconscious mind has taken over the task of driving, allowing your conscious mind to focus on other things, such as listening to music or having a conversation.
Another example could be a person who has a fear of public speaking. Even though they may consciously want to give a speech, their subconscious mind may be holding them back due to past negative experiences or beliefs about themselves. This fear can manifest as physical symptoms such as sweating, shaking or feeling anxious, even though the person may not consciously understand why they are feeling this way. By identifying and addressing these subconscious fears and beliefs, a person can start to retrain their mind to feel more comfortable and confident in public speaking situations.
The subconscious mind is more powerful than the conscious mind. Here are the 3 main reasons:
