How often everyone hears this seemingly understandable word "subconsciousness". Again, everyone subconsciously understands the meaning of this word, but few people imagine the true influence of the subconscious on a person.

Step 1
The very word “subconsciousness” gives an answer to the question about its meaning. This is something that is under consciousness, and therefore outside it. Something that a person cannot be aware of and control. The problem of the subconscious, or unconscious, was revealed in Sigmund Freud's works on psychoanalysis. He says that the unconscious is some kind of repressed desires, often those desires or aspirations that are not recognized by society. This is where the conflict between consciousness and subconsciousness is born. A person understands by reason that it is impossible or unacceptable to behave this way, and then the unconscious is repressed, and this is always fraught with consequences. Often, these unconscious motives can be the cause of serious psychiatric personality disorders. Subsequently, the founder of analytical psychology, Carl Gustav Jung, developed Freud's ideas about the unconscious and even expanded this concept to the "collective unconscious."
Step 2
Consciousness and subconsciousness are closely related. They coordinate their actions with each other, and it is important here that will be stronger. When information from external stimuli enters the brain, the subconscious mind processes it, taking into account, among other things, past experience. After processing, subconscious forces give out a certain emotion, a response that is not realized by a person. This emotional message enters consciousness, and, based on the situation, it gives an appropriate reaction. The important thing is how "friendly" these two facets of the personality are. When a person has to do something that actually contradicts his real life attitudes, there is a personality conflict that may not immediately appear, or the person himself is not able to notice it.
Step 3
In order to better understand what the subconscious is, you can compare it with a car manufacturing plant. Raw materials are supplied to the plant, processed and a finished product is obtained. Imagine that thoughts are a car, that is, a finished product. Looking only at it, it is impossible to imagine what it was made with - presses, ovens, stamps, and so on. So, knowing only thoughts, it is impossible to predict how they were born and what influenced it. Also, in order to know the subconscious, it is extremely important to see the whole picture as a whole, that is, the whole car. Because, looking only, for example, at the carburetor, it is impossible to say in advance that it belongs to a particular car model. Even having an idea of what the subconscious is, few people fully realize its impact on human life. And how life can change if you make it your goal to isolate these subconscious motives.
