HOW YOUR BRAIN MANAGES EXPERIENCES

As mentioned in Part One, the brain has a conscious part that controls your logical reasoning, your current thinking and your awareness – your five to nine things going on at once. This is also the part where you start thinking it would be really great to do something.

The other part, the subconscious, is absolutely amazing, you don’t have to think about breathing, you don’t have to think about pumping the blood round your body or your heart beating, this is all taken care of every second of every day.

Unfortunately, there are a lot of other things the subconscious does automatically without you having to really think about it – like playing back your fears and phobias automatically. It tells you that you can’t do something for example in a particular situation, giving you that fear or negative emotion.
