150 | Empowerment: Unconscious Mind Twist
Do you find yourself often thinking in terms of getting cooperation from your unconscious mind? Or learning how to give it great instructions so it can support you easily? We have all had the experience of “deciding” to do something (like a New Year’s resolution, hmmm?) and then, a few weeks, or days, later – it has fizzled out. You had decided to do the Thing. But you didn’t. You consciously wanted the Thing. But unconsciously, you weren’t convinced. Ultimately, the Thing didn’t happen because you lacked cooperation from your unconscious. If, however, you know how to get your conscious and unconscious mind ALIGNED, then you will get the Thing done. And many things done.

Jonathan Haidt: The Happiness Hypothesis: Finding Modern Truth in Ancient Wisdom – Haidt coined the analogy of the Rider and the Elephant to explain how the conscious and unconscious mind cooperate (or not) with each other. He gives many examples and reviews various brain functions to point out some of the sources of conflict.
