The Hidden Power of the Subconscious Mind in Our Decisions: Why 95% of Our Choices Are Not Conscious

Have you ever wondered why you make certain decisions without really thinking them through? Whether it’s your daily itinerary, your eating habits, or how you react in certain situations, the answer lies in the subconscious.

According to research in psychology and neuroscience, about 90-95% of our decisions are actually made by our subconscious mind. This means that most of the time, we act based on automatic patterns, beliefs, and deep emotions, without our conscious mind being fully engaged.

What is the Subconscious?

The subconscious mind is the part of our mind that processes millions of pieces of information every second, without our knowledge. Unlike the conscious mind, which is limited and can only handle a small amount of data at a time, the subconscious mind stores all of our past experiences, emotions, beliefs, and habits.

How does the Subconscious Mind influence our decisions?

1. Automatic Habits : You probably don't think about every step when you brush your teeth or drive to work. These actions are governed by the subconscious, which follows well-established patterns.
2. Limiting or Reinforcing Beliefs : Our deep beliefs, whether positive or negative, influence our behavior. For example, if you unconsciously believe that you are not competent enough, you may avoid opportunities for success without even realizing why.
3. Quick Decision Making : In situations where a decision must be made in a matter of seconds, it is often the subconscious mind that takes control, relying on intuition and accumulated experience.
4. Influence of Emotions : Emotions, often rooted in our subconscious, shape the way we perceive the world. This is why a negative past experience can unconsciously influence your current decisions.

And the Conscious in all this?

The conscious mind, on the other hand, is involved in about 5 to 10% of our decisions. It is mainly responsible for more thoughtful choices, such as when we analyze a complex situation or weigh the pros and cons. But even in these moments, the subconscious has already done much of the work in the background.

Kinesiology to work with the Subconscious

In a kinesiology session, we can access these subconscious patterns and understand how they influence your decisions, well-being and behaviors. By identifying emotional blockages or limiting beliefs, it is possible to release them and restore inner balance. This allows you to make decisions more aligned with your true essence, rather than being governed by automatic habits or repressed emotions.

Conclusion

Most of our decisions are not as rational as they seem. The subconscious mind plays a much bigger role than we realize, and understanding how it works can help you better understand your daily choices. Through kinesiology, it is possible to retrain the subconscious mind and live a more conscious, aligned and fulfilling life.
