How Mind Works?

Mind is like a garden and you are a gardener. You are planting seeds of thoughts in your mind every day. As you sow in your mind, you reap in your body and environment. To understand more how the mind works, you need to understand what the Subconscious mind and the Conscious mind are.

Conscious Mind

The conscious mind basically controls the present events. Whatever presently is going in your mind, these are in the conscious mind and coming from the subconscious mind or by the five senses. Same, whatever you are receiving by 5 senses first goes into the conscious mind and then goes into the subconscious.

To understand it clearly, understand it in terms of Computer Language. As in a computer, its have RAM and a Hard disc. The same mind has a Conscious and Subconscious Mind respectively. When you work on a computer it’s all programs work in RAM and save on a Hard disc later. You can also say the formation of the computer is made by seeing the formation of our mind.

The conscious mind is like a watchman at the gate. Its main function is to protect your subconscious mind from false impressions.

Subconscious Mind or Unconscious Mind

The subconscious mind is also known as the unconscious mind. In your life whatever you are experiencing are only events. You are reading this blog, this is also an event. So, you are receiving events in your mind through the 5 senses: Eyes, Ears, Skin, Nose, and Tongue.

Whatever you are receiving first goes into the conscious mind, and then the conscious mind filters that. It Deletes, Distorts, and Generalize. This is also called the DDG process. After the DDG process, events go into the unconscious mind. The first event that we received became the second event. That is our memory.

In other words, whatever we are storing in our mind or whatever our memory is just an Event 2. This event 2 is also called perception, state of mind, or behavior.

If we receive anything through our conscious mind in repetition, it makes a behavior pattern in our unconscious mind. These behavior patterns are also known as Programs.

Behavioral Pattern

In your daily routine whatever you do by behavioral pattern. We also know behavioral patterns as Habits. This is the reason whatever you do in repetition or in a regular pattern becomes your habit. If you do anything well it will become your good habit or if you will do anything bad it will become your bad habit. Great say “You build your Habit and then your Habit builds you”.

Behavioral Psychology: Creating habits is the theory behind behavioral psychology. If you understand this behavioral psychology then you will never create any bad habits. Before creating any habit know about The Power of the Subconscious Mind and your behavioral psychology.

How Does a Program Build in Your Mind?

Understand it by an example: Suppose you want to learn anything like swimming, driving a car, cycling, etc. You need to create their program in your mind. If you read a book to learn to swim, but by just reading you can’t swim. You need to practice it. Because when you read a book on swimming learning, it goes into your conscious mind. Only your conscious mind knows how to swim, not your subconscious or unconscious mind.

To swim you need to program it in your subconscious mind. You programmed it by only practice. That’s how you build any program in your mind.

Important Points to Know for Parents

Many times parents are surprised at how their child learns so many things. Sometimes the child says something that we cannot even imagine. Basically, the child learns from his surroundings. From the things happening around him. We don’t even pay attention but many things get saved in his mind.

In a study, it was found that 95% of a small child’s mind gets programmed in its first 7 years. This means his belief, mindset, and attitude all decide his initial 7 years. Why does the child of a poor mostly remain poor? While the child of a rich becomes rich. All this happens because of his belief system.

How does it work? If our mind accepts anything as truth, then it manifests those things in life. If something gets stuck in the child’s mind like he can never earn a lot of money, can never become a celebrity, can never buy an expensive car, then he can hardly achieve all this in his life.

That’s why always keep in mind that whenever your child is around, do not use abusive words in front of him. Never talk negatively. Never demotivate a small child. If he fails or fails in any exam or any competition, do not scold him or fight with him. Rather increase his enthusiasm. By doing this, positive thoughts will develop in his mind.
