The Power of Your Mind!

I recently had a coaching session with a client and we discussed the differences between our conscious mind vs. subconscious. Let me give you a fact so you understand the reason for sharing my clients experience. Our conscious mind plays the smaller part of our behavior roughly 10-15 percent while the majority 85% of our behavior comes from our subconscious mind. Okay, those are the facts from our scientific world. So what is our subconscious mind? It's a tape recorder a data collector that has been taking it all in since day one. Our subconscious mind doesn't have any filter or judgement. It will play whatever has been conditioned or programed. Let's use an example to illustrate: driving the car. If you've been driving long enough, have you had a moment where you said, "Who's been driving the car?". You get to your destination and wonder how did I get here I can't remember the last couple of minutes? Well that's your subconscious mind taking over. So back to my clients experience. He was meeting with a very important person who he really respected and was somewhat intimidated. My client is allergic to cats and the person he was meeting with had 5 of them. Here's where the mind used it's power to serve. My client was so focused on the person and the value of getting everything out of this meeting. Through his emotional intensity his subconscious mind was able to step in and do whatever was necessary for him to not have any allergic reaction. My client said if I were anywhere else I would have been sneezing and coughing and having a difficult time to breath. This is the power of our mind - subconscious mind.
