2012 – The unconscious
2012 – The #unconscious
Personal reflection
We do not know what we do not know….and when it comes to the unconscious mind we often do not even know what we know or intent. I think I often unconsciously sabotage my goals and objectives through a fear of failure and/or a fear of success. We need to train our unconscious mind consciously. This means that I have to regularly review my goals and objectives with the confidence that all will be achieved as I envision it. Another danger on this road is that I am so easily lured away from my true destiny by the joys and pleasures of this world. Discipline sometimes require to say know to even a free lunch. My challenge for 2012 is to program the subconscious with what I want to achieve. This might take some tactics of bullying the subconscious into a different direction but that might just be what is needed. We might not know what is in the subconscious but we can influence the sense of priorities under which the subconscious mind operates. Our conscious mind set those priorities and the sub-conscious mind just follow suite by storing ideas, thoughts and suggestions based on the list of priorities that is communicated to it over and over again by the conscious mind.
My vision is that I my unconscious mind collaborates with me in achieving my goals.
My mission is to program my unconscious with what is priority for me to achieve.
My objectives are:
- To entice my unconscious to collaborate with me
- To avoid being distracted from my purpose by the pleasures and side roads
- To program my subconscious with a prioritized list of objectives.

“I am so easily lured away from my true destiny by the joys and pleasures of this world.” ~This is one of my biggest hangups, too. I often ponder why this is so. If I had to make a guess at it, I would say that when I am enjoying myself – I am in that moment, really enjoying it. But when I am suffering outside of those moments I am unable to make it a priority to change what I do so that ALL my moments can be more evenly enjoyable… if that makes any sense at all.
Getting all my parts on board has always been challenging for me.
@everyday_yogi - You make sense…I am not promoting the avoidance of pleasure. I just want to remind myself that joyful living is a by product of a balanced life and that I should not be seduced totally by pleasure alone… for then it becomes a useless and destructive addiction.
@C_L_O_G - How do you deal with the challenge?
Love your entry! You always have the most uplifting and inspiring post! Really make ya see through a different window that one would expect! I really admire and apperciate that! Hugs! Cheers! To the new year! May you achieve all you set out to do in 2012!
@Zeal4living - As you know, it is a multifaceted problem. When I was depressed a few years back I learned to just go ahead and do things whether I ‘felt’ like it or not. That is one of my techniques. Another is to meditate, centering myself. That helps to get things lined up. The subconscious is a different kind of issue. Being subconscious means it is often unknown. Meditation helps with bringing those things into the conscious realm. Also being the silent witness to my thoughts often brings subconscious issues into the light so I can address them. I don’t know if any of this helps. If I think of any more I’ll let you know.
@Ms_BeautyExpert - I wish you a marvelous 2012. Thank you for your uplifting words. I believe we are in this life to live it fully.
@C_L_O_G - Thank you for sharing how you deal with your challenges. I understand a bit better as well why we connect do well. I have long said action is probably the best antidote’s for depression even if at the time that action seems not to achieve anything. I concur with you on the role of meditation.
I can relate to this post very well. I often find that my subconscious seems to be at odds with what I want to consciously accomplish. It is a challenge to get the two in sync, but worth the effort!
Talking about sabotage. Sometimes I sabotage myself of of fear. Yes, fear. Fear is the curse behind every my unhappiness and uncertainties. These days I still sabotage myself but caught myself in time before I done a lot of damage to myself.
