How the Mind Works

• We have 3 very separate and very distinct minds.
• They do different things.
• They have a hard time inter-relating and
  communicating with each other.

3
Our 3 distinct minds

• 1. The Conscious Mind.that is where you are
  right now.
• 2. The Subconcious Mindthat is below the
  conscious mind.
• 3. The Unconscious Mind that deals with our
  automatic bodily functions and our immune system.

4
The Conscious Mind

• The Conscious Mind is where we are at right now.
  This is where we spend most of our time.
• It does basically 4 things no more
• 1. It analyses
• That means that it is the part of us that looks
  at problems, analyses them and finds solutions.

5
The Conscious Mind -1

• The Conscious Mind also makes hundreds of
  decisions we have to make just to get through the
  day Should I open the door? Should I turn on
  the water? Should I tie my shoe laces?
• These may appear automatic but a decision has to
  be made re the many choices that we face
  throughout the day.

6
The Conscious Mind - 2

• 2. The second part of the Conscious Mind is the
  RATIONAL PART.
• This part must give us a reason why we behave in
  any particular fashion.
• If we do not get a reason we become anxious,
  nervous and frustrated.
• If continued long enough this could lead to
  mental illness.

7
Conscious Mind - 3

• The next part of the Conscious Mind is WILL
  POWER.
• Will Power does not last!
• It fades and old habit patterns return.

8
Conscious Mind - 4

• Working Memory is the last part of the conscious
  mind.
• It is the memory we need everyday.
• What is my phone number?
• Where do I live?
• The memory we need just to get through an average
  day.

9
Sub-Conscious Mind

• The sub-conscious mind resides below the
  conscious mind.
• It is awesomely powerful.
• It can be likened to a video camera that is
  always on.
• It only plays back what it has recorded.

10
Sub-Conscious Mind

• The recordings cover everything that has ever
  happened to you.
• Just like the video camera, it can only play back
  the images of you that it has.
• In a sense, it defines who you are rich, poor,
  sad, happy, thin, fat.
• You never forget anything.

11
The Critical Factor

• The Critical Factor acts as a gate-keeper to vet
  suggestions coming into the Subconscious Mind.
• It tends to block ideas that are not closely
  aligned with the patterns that have been stored
  in the subconscious.
• It inhibits change and transformation.

12
The Unconscious Mind

• This where our automatic bodily functions reside.
• Our immune system is also controlled at this
  level.
