3 Ways Your Subconscious Protects Your Beliefs

transformation, , , ,

One of the most powerful mechanisms of your personal identity is your subconscious mind.  In it, you store all your beliefs, memories, and experiences.  Your subconscious mind serves as a defense mechanism to protect the things you believe, whether true or false.  Protecting those beliefs that limit you can give you a false perception of your personal identity.  Here are three ways your subconscious protects your beliefs:

  1. Repression.  The subconscious mind will often take unpleasant or frightening beliefs and stuff them deep inside so that you don’t have to address them or deal with them.
  1. Rationalization.  This is when your subconscious mind takes a belief that creates unwanted or negative behavior and applies excuses or rationales that make it seem acceptable or true.
  1. Imprinting.  Your subconscious mind imprints the attitudes, beliefs, and prejudices of another person onto your personal identity.  This is useful if those beliefs are beneficial, but can be damaging if those beliefs create behaviors that limit your personal growth.

When you understand some of the ways in which your subconscious mind protects your beliefs, you can take further steps to discovering which beliefs are healthy and which are impeding your true personal identity.

3 Steps in Self-Discovery

Creating permanent transformation in your life may seem an insurmountable and impossible challenge.  Once you understand the keys to self-discovery, however, you will be well on your way to the kind of personal transformation you desire in life.  Here are three steps to self-discovery to get you started:

  1. Examine Your Beliefs.  What do you believe to be true in life and why do you believe it?  If you give yourself permission to closely scrutinize your deeply-held beliefs, you can discover those which are false and which limit your personal growth.
  1. Discover Your Virtue.  Your virtue is who you really are – your core essence.  When you truly understand your purpose and identity and why you are here, you will unlock the potential masked behind the falsehoods in your life.
  1. Create New Beliefs.  As you discover your true identity and filter out the limiting beliefs in your life, you can then create accurate beliefs based on the truth of who you are.

Real and lasting transformation can be yours if you take steps like these towards self-discovery.
