How to Stop Living On Autopilot
The difference between those who manifest their Dream Life" and those who do not, is that they don't give up. They know that eventually they will reach their goals, but they have to apply physical action and decisions, which is like planting seeds of intention that will be reflected back to you. They do not resist change and are very open to learning new things.
We interpret this world with our physical senses and filter it through our emotional filters and beliefs.
When we take that bus ride or walk in town, we take a lot of the information in, on autopilot. We may see something that triggers us to think a thought, or evoke an emotional response. We may see something that triggers us to think a thought, or evoke an emotional response. It's like the outside world is playing with our mind on a subconscious level.
Do you want outer circumstances to be able to push your buttons and make you react in ways that aren't the highest good for you and drain your mental and physical energy, or do you want to Respond automatically in ways that give you a sense of choice and fuel your mind with positive energy and empowerment? We are where we are due to our limited beliefs about ourselves and the world. We get stuck in other people's emotional dramas or get too involved in the problem instead of the solution. You are the source of your life experiences and you can change it, no matter what.
We put labels on things we see, feel, and hear and we do this in a way that is mostly on autopilot...but where do these automatic reactions, feelings, and thoughts come from? Because they come from somewhere! It's all about the Subconscious Mind. It's like a deep well that will give you whatever you believe is possible, but it may be clogged by limited beliefs that have been there since your early childhood or negative life experiences that come up every time you have the inspiration to change.
You have to understand that your subconscious mind is like a program running in the background in your life. You can record a new tape and your physical senses will start to reflect this. You've probably heard about the powerful ways of hypnosis, where people change and believe they are someone else.
The subconscious believes and experiences things as FACT and gives you impulses that either can give you the life you want, filled with empowered thoughts, freedom and abundance, or a life of resistance, doubt and fear.
I will continue tomorrow. Have a great day!

Beautiful blog post, simply love it, Marian. This is interesting, I would like to know more, lol. ;)
Thank you Jewel, I will be posting blogs at least every other day. I appreciate the follow and would like learning from you.
You are most welcome, Marian dear, let us learn from each other, lol. Have a wonderful weekend!! :)
The subconscious mind wants you just where it has you, in a holding pattern. It doesn't want you to step outside your comfort zone. It thwarts you every step of the way.
The question is, how can we override it?
In another blog, we hope you'll give us possible answers!!
Do you think the unconscious mind is connected to or is our ego, acting like a spoiled child that wants it's way and afraid of loosing control?
And we thought you had all the answers ... lol
Yes, maybe the subconscious mind IS like our ego, who knows ...
In any case we've always believed that it's the subconscious mind that keeps us from making changes to our lives, such as,
if I told you that tomorrow I'm going to take you skydiving, your subconscious mind would spend the next 12 hours convincing the conscious mind why we can't go by making excuses, making us feel ill and in extreme cases causing us to have diarrhoea, vomiting etc. If the reasons given prevent you from skydiving, the subconscious has done its job and you are once again safe with no change at all to your life.
So this is why we believe the subconscious holds many people back from their goals and possible achievements in life.
In other words, primarily the job of the subconscious mind is to keep you safe.
To be able to override your subconscious mind, the feelings of fear and stepping outside the box, people are sometimes able to take larger risks without fear and are able to achieve greater things in life.
Sometimes I believe I run on "autopilot" quite a lot. I am trying to actively participate in the real world and stop responding so automatically. Thanks for this most interesting blog! I enjoyed reading it.
I know how you feel. I still am working to change my subconscious mind to the positive things I can accomplish.
The problem many run into is the old self. When we try to make changes in a positive way, our mind wants to return to old self and old nature.
So true. I'm in awe as to how many members are so spiritually advanced and accepting. I feel that I'm home.
Exceedingly true. Staying open and receptive..., learning further, reality checking facts and details, then make the new change. Change is good, and it must also be accurate. Need an example? Suze Ormond's financial series is spot on. Poor information is speculative.
I'm in awe for being with a community that gets me. I love your insights and enjoy learning from you.
