In this week’s episode of the Going Pro Yoga Podcast Michael deep dives into the subconscious mind. He starts by sharing his analogy of ‘‘the subconscious mind as a book’’. This book becomes the autopilot where we move through life unconsciously with our actions, patterns and behaviours.
In Michael’s analogy, the conscious mind can be considered the author and reader of your book. As the author, you can ‘consciously’ add (or not add) information to your book. But this conscious decision-making requires focus, mental effort and energy.
Michael finished this episode with a valuable tip: allow time to think and for information to land, so that you can ‘consciously’ decide whether you agree or disagree with that new information. The choice is yours.
Listen to this week’s episode and become the author of your own book!
