Facts On How Your Subconscious Mind Rules Your Behavior

By Kenneth Sanders


Many people have a hard time controlling their behavior because they simply cannot seem to control how they feel. The thing about emotions and mindset is that it is often ruled by the subconscious, which is why an overall mindset tweak that can influence behavioral patterns is something that is not easy to do. However, it is possible if you know how your subconscious mind rules your behavior.

Now, in order to master the unconscious part of the brain, it is important to break it down first. It is possible to equate this part of the mind to a single big computer database that stores all the old program files needed to run certain applications. All of these quote and unquote files are belief and memories. These beliefs and memories are the root causes of certain behavioral patterns that one may showcase on the outside.

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 one of the things that one can do to change a behavioral pattern would to simply change the embedded beliefs. One way to go about would be to create more new and positive memories that can translate into beliefs. Once these beliefs can be focused on, then behavioral patterns may also change.

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.
