So I just found out the subconscious mind cannot tell the difference between imagination and reality. Its starting to make sense why hypnotists always use guided visualizations, the subconscious does not understand that it is just a visualization. It takes in the images from the real world or imagination, then the emotions attached to those images and creates kind of an auto-pilot function.
For example, have you ever been looking for peanut butter or cereal in the pantry but can't find it? You think to yourself "This always happens to me!" Well, the reason why it happens is because you are telling yourself that you will not find what you are looking for. You have set up an auto-pilot type function that will subconsciously make you delete the item you are looking for from your conscious attention. So how do you change that bad habit or make your own auto-pilot functions for your subconscious to follow?
Auto-Pilot for the Subconscious
1. Relax, sit back, and clear your mind so that you can use your imagination.
2. Imagine that your desired outcome has already happened. If you are looking for an item in the pantry, pretend that you already found it.
3. Build up a positive emotion towards the desired outcome, this will tell your subconscious that it is a good thing to find what you are looking for.
4. Relax your mind and go out to do whatever it is that you imagined. Look for that item in the pantry and find it with ease. Trust yourself, your mind is a powerful tool and this is one way to use it.
