Welcome back to the podcast! Today, we're diving into the fascinating world of conscious and subconscious thoughts. Picture your mind as a ship, with the captain representing your conscious mind and the crew as your subconscious. While the captain guides for long-term success, the crew sometimes takes charge, causing unexpected twists.

In real life, our subconscious thoughts often dictate our actions, shaping our results. 

To make these subconscious thoughts conscious is to take control. Consider the thoughts: 
"I'm not good enough"  
"I must be perfect to be loved." 
"Nothing ever works out for me."
"I can't change. This is just who I am."
"I must avoid failure at all costs."
"Having success means sacrificing happiness."

Do any of these beliefs resonate with you? Recognizing them is the first step to change.

Our brains seek evidence to confirm our thoughts, influencing our reality. But we can challenge these thoughts, steering our ship deliberately.

Two powerful tools for self-discovery are coaching and journaling. 

A coach provides an external perspective, revealing hidden thoughts. 

Journaling allows you to analyze your thoughts objectively. Highlight facts and separate them from the stories you tell yourself.

Remember, our subconscious aims to protect us, associating discomfort with danger. Be kind to yourself when the captain (conscious mind) is temporarily offline, and the crew (subconscious) takes over. Nurturing your captain mind, especially when tired or stressed, ensures better navigation.

Challenge your subconscious, question its stories, and consciously choose your thoughts. This week, focus on nurturing your captain mind and notice when the crew tries to take control. If you'd like personalized guidance, come and work with me. Click the link to apply now.
