Jake Burhans says 95% of your behavior runs on autopilot in the subconscious mind. When your conscious goals clash with deep-rooted beliefs, change feels like swimming upstream. Rewiring those subconscious patterns is what actually moves you forward.
It runs 95% of your life, right? And 5% is your analytical mind. It makes sense because the subconscious is trying to automate certain behaviors and emotions so your conscious mind doesn't have to think about it, because it takes a lot of energy and mental capacity to consciously think about things and figure things out. So as a survival mechanism, your body wants to just automate that as quickly as it can. Any repeated thought or repeated motion or repeated response to things or repeated belief It just wants to automate in the system so that it's like trying to help you so your conscious mind doesn't have to think about it. Now, obviously, we don't know that we're programmed like this. So when we are thinking negative thoughts or having certain beliefs that limit us, or, you know, frustration, um, when things get overwhelming, you get frustrated, right? So as you grow into these new levels of yourself, you're, you're thinking in different ways, you're acting in different ways, you're feeling in different ways, you're behaving in different ways. That your subconscious mind, your learned patterns and habits and emotions, are not familiar with. So it's like trying to— it's really like trying to swim upstream as you consciously try to pursue your goals when your subconscious mind, which is your habits, your behaviors, your emotional patterns, are not in alignment with that goal.
