Our conscious and subconscious mind.

Today I went to day 1 of a follow up course which is based around solution-focused and metaphysical therapy.

We looked at basically how everything is energy, and how what we are thinking and feeling all have their own energies. We looked at how the conscious part of our mind makes up only about 5% while the subconscious is the other 95%. And really it's that 95% which is running the show. The subconscious hold's all our beliefs that we have picked up in our lives, all the behavioural patterns that we run and really has a vast resource of answers and solutions to any of the issues we have in our lives.

I learnt how we have around 60,000 to 90,000 thoughts per day which is pretty crazy and that the majority of them for most people are negative.

I think the most important thing I took away from today was the fact that we really can choose how we want to feel! We are all conditioned from childhood about what is good and bad, what we can and can't do, what other people think is better for us etc and really this all severely limits and supresses our freedom. If we consistently practice and focus our energy on what we do want then we can begin to change what doesn't serve us.

Anyway there was much more information that I took notes on today, but tomorrow it looks like we will be looking at visualisations on the 'emotional baggage' that we unnecessarily hold and doing some inner child work. I will post again tomorrow.

Thanks for reading!
