Blog Summary on "The Power of Your Subconscious Mind" By - Chidanand Pradhan
Overview:
The Power of Your Subconscious Mind by Joseph Murphy has been a great learning experience for me.
The book talks about why it is important to control our subconscious mind and how it influences our daily life. In our normal day-to-day life, we usually bend towards what people would think and try to impress them by going out of our actual way. However, we forget that our subconscious mind helps us derive what we truly want.
The author explains how powerful the subconscious mind is and how it works silently in the background.
The book is relevant because it reminds us that real change starts from within, not from external validation.
Key Takeaways:
One important takeaway from the book is the power of the subconscious mind even when we are not consciously aware of it. The author gives a very simple yet powerful example: when we sleep, all our organs continue to function. Our heart beats, our mind works, and our senses respond. Nobody consciously activates them; subconsciously, they perform their duty. This shows how powerful and self-operating our subconscious mind is.
Another key idea is that what we want to become and what we want to achieve depends on the thoughts we plant in our subconscious mind. If we continuously think negatively, those thoughts grow. If we plant positive thoughts, confidence, and belief, they start shaping our reality.
The author also shares various real-life examples of people who have benefited by understanding and working with their subconscious mind. Many of them achieved success, healing, and personal growth by
changing their thought patterns.
The concept of mental seeds is very impactful. Just like a seed grows into a tree, thoughts grow into results.
The “Thank You” discipline mentioned in the book teaches us to practice gratitude even before achieving something. This builds belief and programs the subconscious positively.
Overall, the book emphasizes controlling our thoughts and consciously guiding our subconscious mind toward what we truly desire.
Personal Reflection:
This book made me reflect on how often we try to impress others instead of listening to our inner voice.
In daily life, we sometimes move away from our real path just to fit into society or meet expectations. I realized that instead of worrying about what people think, I should focus on what I truly want.
The example of our body functioning during sleep deeply impacted me. It made me understand that there is a powerful system working inside us all the time. If it can manage our body without effort, it can surely help us achieve our goals if we guide it correctly.
It changed my thinking about success and self-doubt. Rather than blaming circumstances, I now see the importance of monitoring my thoughts. This connects strongly with my journey of personal growth and self improvement.
Practical application:
I have already started inculcating the learnings from this book into my life, especially in building my reading habit. Earlier, I was not consistent in reading, although I always wanted to complete books and assignments on time. This book helped me change that mindset. I used to tell my subconscious mind repeatedly that I have to read and complete this assignment, and gradually I saw a difference in my consistency. I strongly believe in the power of the subconscious mind, and this experience strengthened that belief even more.
I will continue applying the “Thank You” discipline daily and consciously practice gratitude. I will also monitor my thoughts carefully and replace negative thinking with positive affirmations. Before sleeping,
I plan to visualize my goals so that my subconscious mind can work on them silently and effectively.
Closing words:
This book is ideal for anyone who wants to grow personally and develop inner confidence. It is especially helpful for people who struggle with self-doubt or are influenced by others’ opinions. If someone wants to understand the power of thoughts and learn how to control their mind, this book is worth reading.
