Important Characteristics of The Subconscious Mind
The more you understand
about the subconscious mind, the better you understand yourself. Here are
some important features of your subconscious mind, which will help you understand
them.
- The subconscious mind thinks in the form of images
Your subconscious mind saves
all your memories and experiences as images and symbols. This is why all we see
is pictures and images during dreams (which are only the thoughts of the
subconscious mind).
- 2 It’s
always active:
The conscious and the
subconscious mind are always working during the day, although the latter works
background. As you sleep, you are momentarily switched off the conscious mind,
and the operation of the subconscious mind is reflected in dreams. At the same
time, you also alert your subconscious mind to all external stimuli like the
sound of an alarm clock.

It
communicates with you via emotions
The language of the
subconscious mind is emotions. When you're awake, you will consciously notice
the emotional changes you are experiencing and thus understand what you are
told by the subconscious mind. But if you sleep and your conscious mind is not
active, you lose this skill and the unconscious mind is obliged to transmit its
messages (emotions) through dreams to you.

It
controls your bodily functions
Your body and metabolism
functions like breathing, digestion, blood circulation, etc. are all controlled
by a subconscious mind, so you do not have to worry about them consciously.
Right now, I want you to focus on your breathing. When you started reading this
post, you breathed, but you've been reading this post consciously. Your
subconscious mind controlled your breathing.
At present, as I told you to
pay attention to your breathing, you are breathing consciously. As soon as you
turn your attention back to the rest of this post, your unconscious mind will
take over breathing again.

Every
image is real to the subconscious mind
Anything you see, in real
life or on a computer is real to the subconscious mind. If, at night, you see a
dream in your bed, you will undoubtedly be frightened. But you'll also be
scared if you just think of a ghost, look at it in a movie or watch it at a
nightmare.

It
cannot process negative words
If I tell you, don’t worry
about a white elephant, what do you do? You think of a white elephant, of
course. His image blows through your mind, even for a millisecond. The
subconscious mind is not processing negative commands like don't.

It
ensures your survival and maintains your well-being
Your subconscious mind is
like a friend or mentor who wants to keep you healthy and happy not only to
ensure your survival. Almost all the emotions are designed to protect you
against danger (perceived or actual) or to lead you to happiness and
well-being.

It
controls your habits
Habits govern most of our everyday activity. Habits are nothing but patterns of conduct stored in our subconscious mind.
