How Can a Negative Subconscious Mind Ruin Your Life?
We’ve discussed the power and characteristics of the subconscious mind many times. Now, let’s take a look together at how negative thinking and a negative subconscious mind affect our lives. First, I’d like to start with health. Can you imagine whether someone who constantly nurtures negative thoughts about illness throughout the day can actually be healthy? As we keep repeating negative thoughts like, “I’m sick, there are these illnesses in my family, I think I have high blood pressure, I think I have diabetes, my immune system is very weak,” we’re actually attracting these negative things into our lives.
Our subconscious mind interprets the messages we send it—without realizing it—as our desires. It doesn’t matter whether the illness is good or bad; it simply thinks, “I want this illness.” Whatever you repeat, whatever you focus on, you attract into your life. It’s a mechanism that works like a magnet. That’s why you must pay attention to your thoughts. Negative thoughts have a poisonous effect on our lives, causing our lives to slip away from us drop by drop, day by day.
Just as in health, negative subconscious patterns also have a detrimental effect on our relationships. A mind filled with obsessions like “My spouse doesn’t love me” or “Nobody loves me” makes it difficult to be happy. People tend to think that words are the most important aspect of communication, but the reality is different. We constantly send messages to others through the signals we send to our brain’s 60 trillion cells, our hormones, body language, posture, and energy. We also reflect this energy when we speak.
For example, when you use positive mantras like “Today we’re creating a better version of ourselves,” the power of the word “we” helps your partner realize that you are one with them, and they will respect you. You cannot succeed in a relationship by thinking only of “me” and acting selfishly and egotistically. It’s very important to understand your partner’s role and to be able to think as “we.” That way, the positive thoughts in your subconscious will be reflected onto your partner.
The Person You're Talking To Can Tell
If you’re in the opposite situation—for example, if you’re consumed by jealousy and constantly filling your mind with negative thoughts like “they’re cheating on me” or “they don’t love me”—the other person will sense it. Even if you don’t say a single word, they’ll pick up on that negative energy. That’s why you should pay attention to the thoughts running through your mind; negative thoughts are projected onto the other person and come right back to you. If someone is being disrespectful to you, it might be partly your fault.
Negative thoughts do not contribute positively to our lives. For example, if a college student says, “I can’t pass this exam; I can’t understand this course,” they’re setting up a mental barrier and will genuinely struggle to understand it. However, you can program yourself by saying, “I can do this; if I don’t know it, I’ll learn it; I’ll study morning and night.” Success or failure is shaped by the commands you send to your subconscious mind.
When you give yourself negative commands, the likelihood of failure is very high. That’s why you shouldn’t let negative thoughts take root in your mind; instead, use your mantra to erase past negative thoughts. Repeat “Today we are creating a better version of ourselves” at least 100 times every day. For someone who does this, the likelihood of a negative outcome is virtually nonexistent.
There will always be problems in life, but what matters is how you view them. Seeing problems not as something negative, but as “a task I need to solve to grow,” makes finding a solution easier. If you let negative emotions take over, you won’t be able to get through it because you’re already defeated from the start.
Remember, our subconscious mind responds to the commands we send it. If you think positively, you’ll live positively. If you think negatively, you’ll face negative consequences. The choice is yours.
