For example, before going to sleep, you decide to close and lock the door.

Over time, this action turns into a habit

Consider similar habits that you have: brushing your teeth, grabbing a coffee on your way out, or checking your phone first thing in the morning. These actions are driven by your subconscious mind, influencing your daily routine without you even realizing it.

The Role of the Subconscious

Your subconscious mind is like a hidden scrapbook, filled with memories and experiences from your past.

These memories shape how you behave today, often without you even noticing. Think of it like this: if you had a friendly dog as a child, you probably feel happy when you see dogs now. But if a dog bit you, you might feel nervous around them. These feelings come from your subconscious mind, reacting to past experiences.

It’s why certain things can trigger unexpected emotions or actions. Understanding this can help you see why you do what you do and start making more conscious choices.
