How the Mind Works n We have 3 very separate and very distinct minds. n They do different things. n They have a hard time inter-relating and communicating with each other.

Our 3 distinct minds n 1. The Conscious Mind…. that is where you are right now. n 2. The Subconcious Mind…that is below the conscious mind. n 3. The Unconscious Mind …that deals with our automatic bodily functions and our immune system.

The Conscious Mind n n n The Conscious Mind is where we are at right now. This is where we spend most of our time. It does basically 4 things – no more: 1. It analyses: ¡ That means that it is the part of us that looks at problems, analyses them and finds solutions.

The Conscious Mind -1 n n The Conscious Mind also makes hundreds of decisions we have to make just to get through the day – “Should I open the door? ” “Should I turn on the water? ” “Should I tie my shoe laces? ” These may appear automatic but a decision has to be made re the many choices that we face throughout the day.

The Conscious Mind - 2 n n 2. The second part of the Conscious Mind is the RATIONAL PART. This part must give us a reason why we behave in any particular fashion. If we do not get a reason we become anxious, nervous and frustrated. If continued long enough this could lead to mental illness.

Conscious Mind - 3 n The next part of the Conscious Mind is WILL POWER. n Will Power does not last! n It fades and old habit patterns return.

Conscious Mind - 4 n n n Working Memory is the last part of the conscious mind. It is the memory we need everyday. What is my phone number? Where do I live? The memory we need just to get through an average day.

Sub-Conscious Mind n n The sub-conscious mind resides below the conscious mind. It is awesomely powerful. It can be likened to a video camera that is always on. It only plays back what it has recorded.

Sub-Conscious Mind n n The recordings cover everything that has ever happened to you. Just like the video camera, it can only play back the images of you that it has. In a sense, it defines who you are – rich, poor, sad, happy, thin, fat. You never forget anything.

The Critical Factor n n n The Critical Factor acts as a gatekeeper to vet suggestions coming into the Subconscious Mind. It tends to block ideas that are not closely aligned with the patterns that have been stored in the subconscious. It inhibits change and transformation.

The Unconscious Mind n This where our automatic bodily functions reside. n Our immune system is also controlled at this level.
