Your mind is made up of two parts: the conscious mind and the subconscious mind.

Your conscious mind is your active mind. It contains all of the thoughts and feelings that you’re aware of at any given moment. You use it to judge your environment and to make choices and decisions based on these judgments. We are aware of when our conscious mind is operating.

 

Your subconscious mind is part of your mind that is always functioning but you're not consciously paying attention to it. It's like a software program on a computer running in the background. We do not see the program but it is on and making the computer function. The subconscious mind is always awake, regulating all of your bodily functions, and it records and stores all of your experiences, thoughts, memories, and feelings. Over 95% of your brain’s activity takes place in your subconscious mind. Your subconscious mind creates your life experiences (aka Your Reality). The subconscious mind is running the show whether you know it or not and regardless if you like it or not.

​

Your conscious experiences and influences imprint on and shape your subconscious mind, which in turn determines your personality traits and how you respond to future life experiences.
