Top o’ the Mornin’ to Ya!
TLDR: Discover why your unconscious mind runs 95% of everything you do, how it forces you to lie without realizing it, and why Kingdom Family Leaders must connect their conscious and unconscious minds to stop derailing their path.
What?
Who’s running the show? Seriously, who’s running the show? The conversation this week, we’ve really talked a lot about lying and conscious and unconscious. We really get into the spot where we don’t even recognize that our unconscious is running the show.
95% of everything is our unconscious running the show. Where does our unconscious come from? It comes from our upbringing, our environment, our conditioning, our programs that our body is created over the years. What is it doing? It’s working and doing its job. Our unconscious is protecting us. It is serving us. It is looking out for us.
We only get like 5% of our conscious mind to actually think and do and dream and come up with new stuff. New stuff to show to our unconscious mind because our unconscious mind is running the show. And our unconscious mind forces us to lie.
As Kingdom Family Leaders of integrity, of leadership, of growing a family, growing a community, growing a business, growing God’s Kingdom here on earth, we need to be on alert, high alert. We need to be connected with our unconscious. We need to know what’s going on in there. We need to be connecting our conscious with our unconscious so that the unconscious doesn’t derail our efforts, doesn’t derail our path, doesn’t derail our righteousness, our goodness, our peace, our impact, and our abundance.
The only way we can get our conscious connected with our unconscious is to get them in the same room, talking to each other. Talk to that unconscious. Ask for its permission, change its mind, tell it “Thank you for warning me about that bear, but it’s just a picture of a bear. It’s not that scary. It’s not dangerous.” Teaching it that all of its programs are running. We need to give it new programs to run so that we can serve ourselves, our wife, our kids, our family, our community with new programs and dismiss and cancel those old programs.
Turn on your conscious unconscious connection.
Why?
I share this because Kingdom Family Leaders operate unconsciously 95% of the time without realizing it. We think we’re making conscious choices about our leadership, our marriage, our parenting, our business. But our unconscious mind – programmed by upbringing, environment, conditioning – is actually running the show.
When my daughter said “I don’t take fast showers,” that was her unconscious identity running the show despite her conscious intention to try. Our unconscious forces us to lie without even knowing we’re lying. It protects us using old programs that may no longer serve us.
Lesson
Your unconscious mind runs 95% of everything you do. It’s not the enemy – it’s doing its job, protecting you, serving you, looking out for you based on programs created over years. But those programs might be outdated, fear-based, or misaligned with who you want to become.
You only get 5% conscious mind to think, dream, and come up with new stuff. That small conscious portion has to teach the massive unconscious portion new programs. Otherwise, the unconscious will keep running old programs that derail your efforts, your path, your righteousness, goodness, peace, impact, and abundance.
The unconscious isn’t bad – it’s automated. Like warning you about a bear when it’s just a picture of a bear. It can’t tell the difference until you teach it. The programs it’s running were installed for protection, but they might be protecting you from things that aren’t actually dangerous anymore.
As Kingdom Family Leaders growing families, communities, businesses, and God’s Kingdom on earth, we need to be on high alert. Connected with our unconscious. Knowing what’s going on in there. Otherwise, we’re leading with 95% autopilot from old conditioning.
The only way to connect conscious with unconscious is to get them in the same room talking to each other. You literally talk to your unconscious. Ask for its permission. Change its mind. Thank it for protecting you, then teach it new information. “Thank you for warning me, but that’s not actually dangerous.”
Give your unconscious new programs to run. Dismiss and cancel old programs that no longer serve you, your wife, your kids, your family, your community. This isn’t positive thinking – it’s reprogramming the 95% that actually controls your behavior.
Apply
This week, identify one behavior where your unconscious is running an old program that doesn’t serve you. Maybe it’s a fear response, an “I don’t” identity statement, or an automated reaction. Talk to your unconscious out loud or in writing. Thank it for protecting you. Then teach it a new program with specific new instructions for how you want to respond instead.
You be blessed!
