A Fun Little Experiment

When your Conscious Mind and your Subconscious Mind are in conflict it is almost like you are at war with yourself. This keeps things from moving smoothly and it keeps us from attaining our goals. Goals like weight loss, job advancement, career success, exercise and fitness goals, relationships and many, many other things. The fun little exercise below is a way to demonstrate what it is like when our Conscious and Subconscious Minds are in conflict. Quickly say out loud the colors of the words below, but don't read the words.
RED  BLUE  BLACK  ORANGE  GREEN  RED  BROWN  YELLOW  ORANGE  PURPLE  BLACK  RED  YELLOW BLUE  GREEN  ORANGE  BLACK  BROWN  BLUE  YELLOW  RED  BLUE  BLACK  ORANGE  GREEN  RED  BROWN  YELLOW  ORANGE  PURPLE  YELLOW
How did that go? I am thinking you had some problems saying the correct colors out loud quickly and not reading the words. Here is what the experiment shows. You learned to read long ago and now that is something done by the Automatic Mind. Saying the color of a word is a new task for you and that like all new tasks must be done by the Conscious Mind. Here is the conflict. The Automatic or Subconscious Mind is in the "habit" of reading words, but in this case you are trying to say the colors which is not a habit, that means it must be done by the Conscious Mind. Result? A train wreck!

When you consciously want to lose weight, but your Subconscious Mind has other ideas and other eating habits then you are in conflict, not agreement. Since the Subconscious Mind or what we also call the Automatic Mind has more resources than the Conscious Mind who do you think wins most of the time in a head on conflict? The Automatic or Subconscious Mind that has the most resources and after all it is automatic, so if you divert your conscious attention for a moment it takes over.

So how do you win and change your habits? With hypnosis we don't have a head on conflict. We use tools to head things off at the pass. We use many of the same principles that developed your habits in the first place to change them, but with hypnosis it is like opening the hood of the car and getting into the motor of things more easily.

When your Thoughts, Beliefs, Feelings and Actions are in agreement and alignment we call that Praxis. It is a fancy word that means they are all working and pulling together. That is what it takes to reach your full potential, not an internal tug of war.
