Your brain operates in a largely subconscious manner. You are conscious of only part of what it is doing or thinking, say 10%. I do not know the precise figure. Anyhow, what I am about to suggest is a way for you to program your subconscious mind to get it to enable you to do something you may find difficult to do.

Often when we are trying to remember something but cannot recall it, such as a person’s name, we think about it and then get on with something else. In the meantime your subconscious mind is thinking about it, and suddenly, minutes later, or hours later, or even days later the answer pops up into you conscious mind. This is a clear demonstration that your subconscious mind has been working away at solving the problem even though you are not consciously thinking about it.

Your conscious mind is what you are thinking about, what you see, what you hear, what you feel with your numerous other senses, like touch, etc..

What I am going to suggest here is the use of your conscious mind to program something into you subconscious mind, so you will be able to do something that you may find difficult to do, or have doubts about your ability to do it. As an example, I may want to write this blog in a convincing way.

You can use all of your conscious attributes to program your subconscious mind to actually enable you to do that task. Here is a good example of how you can do this. I don’t think this is very new, but it followed from my thoughts about what consciousness is. It is basically putting yourself into a positive mindset subconsciously. They do say, that being confident about doing something is basically half way there. It is extra tool in addition to positive thinking.

Here goes. Write down what you want to do. For example write “I can complete this essay about reprogramming my brain in a simple way that is accessible and understandable to the layman”. Look at what you have written, read it out aloud, listen to it, repeat it a few times. Also, tell yourself in your head that you can do it. You have now used your visual consciousness (visual cortex) by looking at what you wrote, your somatosensory senses by writing it, your speech senses by reading it, your auditory senses by saying it and listening to it, and by focusing on it, you have used your mind to reinforce it in your mind’s eye. All of these things will enter into you subconscious mind and soon you will be able to perform this said task. This is a bit more than just plain positive thinking.
