Lewis Howes says positive thinking alone doesn't work because your subconscious runs the show. Your conscious mind is a tiny fraction of what's actually driving you. Real change means surfacing the automatic thoughts you don't notice, then aligning them with what you actually want.

It's not enough to think positively. Because you can think positively with the 5% of your conscious mind. But we're programmed subconsciously to feel negative. So mind and body are in opposition. And so if your personality creates your personal reality. And your personality is made of how you think, how you act and how you feel, then the first steps to truly change is kind of uncluttering ourselves from those programs. The best way to do that is to become conscious of those unconscious thoughts.
