The subconscious is that powerful hidden force that shapes our perceptions, our reactions, and, ultimately, our reality. It is fed by everything we experience, see, and hear every day. But what are the elements that feed it most, and how do they influence our lives?
The Role of the Subconscious in How Your Cells Function
Every second, your sixty trillion cells carry out six trillion simultaneous actions. This feat comes from what is called the "subconscious mind," distinct from the Freudian subconscious. Indeed, it represents the power plant of your being.
Moreover, what you hold deep within your subconscious determines your reality. And what influences this mind? The answer is simple: almost everything you're exposed to. Indeed, everything you see, hear, smell, taste, and feel shapes it.
The Impact of the Subconscious on Our Daily Lives
What Influences It?
The influence of the subconscious extends to many areas of our lives. Let's discover together what feeds it and how we can better understand it.
The Subconscious and Television
Let's take television as an example. A study reveals that, by the time a child finishes elementary school, they have already seen about 8,000 fictional murders on television. These scenes leave their mark on the mind and, intentionally or not, alter the subconscious.
And the Radio?
As for the radio, what do you choose to listen to? Every word or thought carries a frequency. Song lyrics — like Lady Gaga's in "Bad Romance" — can influence your mind. It is therefore essential to stay mindful of what feeds your mind through music.
Video Games Through the Lens of the Subconscious
Video game graphics are becoming increasingly realistic, and violence is often normalized within them. Children are exposed to these images from a very young age, which imprints lasting impressions on their minds, influencing their development and well-being.
Gossip: A Poison for the Brain
Speaking ill of others means feeding the brain with memories and negative thoughts. Sharing these thoughts with others amplifies their impact. This triggers chemical reactions in your brain. These reactions, in turn, affect your physical and mental health.
The Importance of Mastering the Subconscious
Controlling our thoughts is essential. On average, we have 60,000 thoughts a day, and many of them are negative. These thoughts trigger physiological reactions in our body. The way we react to different situations largely depends on our subconscious. For example, when faced with skydiving, some feel excitement while others feel fear.
Conclusion
If you accept this truth, you'll understand the importance of mastering your thoughts. The subconscious plays a crucial role in how we perceive the world. Take control by feeding your mind with positive and caring thoughts.
