Book excerpt
My conscious mind teaches me the steps and process of riding a bicycle. Once I am fully competent in riding a bicycle, my subconscious mind automatically enacts the steps required to ride a bicycle without my making any conscious mental effort or having to think through the process. Despite not riding a bicycle for 20 years, my unconscious mind immediately knows what to do when presented with a bicycle.
How Our Mindset Is Formed:
Our inherent beliefs, thoughts and behaviours as a result of many influences come together to form our mindset. Some of these influences include:
– Family and upbringing
– Environment
– Informal and formal education
– Positive and negative experiences
– Consistent self-talk
Our mindset influences our daily thoughts, how we perceive situations, the actions we take and the results we experience.
Why Our Mindset Is The Key To Success:
Have you found yourself reading many ‘how-to’ books and articles and following ‘tried and true’ systems that seem to work for others but not for you? Or perhaps you have experienced some success with a system or process you are following but you find yourself unable to stay the course or maintain results? This could be simply because you are yet to tackle the root cause and foundation of the matter: your mindset. Our mindset has the ability to sabotage us by creating self-limiting beliefs that can stop us from taking the first step to pursue our dreams, desires or goals; and in some instances, when we start pursuing a specific goal, it can stop us from persevering and reaching our highest potential.
Research in the public domain has found that the conscious mind is responsible for between 1 and 10 percent of our actions, and that the unconscious/subconscious mind is responsible for 90 to 99 percent of our actions. Wow! That is significant!
What we think is what we attract, and this is often referred to as the Law of Attraction. If we constantly think, see and say the negative, then that is consistently what we will attract. Even when we are faced with opportunities that others might immediately jump on and experience significant results, all we see is the negative – why it will not work, why we are not the one to do it, etc. – because that is what our unconscious mind is feeding us.
Once we understand the power of mindset and begin to learn and practice how to take better control of our mind, we will then have the ability to harness the power of mindset to achieve the successes we desire.
